Films Quotes

I knew Vincent Price from films - he was a big movie star - but the first time I met him was when we filmed ‘The Oblong Box.’ Picture Quote #1

I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well Picture Quote #1

Horror films are very functional like comedies. The main thing with a comedy, the big question is is it funny? And with horror the question is is it scary? Picture Quote #1

I think there is a big question in how much music a film needs - a lot of films are overloaded for my taste, so that the story can’t carry its own weight Picture Quote #1

My films require that the spectator ask the big existential questions. If you’re not interested of turning inwards for answers, my films won’t fulfill their whole purpose Picture Quote #1

It’s so hard to raise money for independent films and the fact of the matter is that the bigger my star or whatever is, as a result of doing bigger pictures, the easier it is for me to get money for my own projects Picture Quote #1

The big budget films have money to do things that are not necessarily essential but sure are comforting. The catering is usually much better. And you have way more of anything you could possibly need. You definitely get a trailer. My shirt and suit for ‘Million Dollar Baby’ were tailor made Picture Quote #1

I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, but three of my early films were with Liam Neeson, before Liam Neeson was a big star Picture Quote #1

[Wyatt Earp and the Holy Grail] it is a big story, which is why there are two more films coming, which will bring the total length of the series to 3 hours Picture Quote #1

Be the leads of big films that are entertaining and maybe then cross over to stuff that moves people and has a little bit more texture to it Picture Quote #1

I have a hard time articulating the emotional experience of working on a film. Even when I have meetings on films or discussing them with directors, I find that’s my biggest challenge. Different words mean different things to people Picture Quote #1

The biggest challenge is how you get money for independent films, in these ever-changing times when most people don’t really want to invest in that anymore Picture Quote #1

I guess the biggest difference from the things I’ve done in the past is that my work will be more narrative-driven adult films or vignettes, not just gonzo scenes, which are straight sex, no storyline Picture Quote #1

I don’t watch any films. Billy Elliot is the only film I’ve seen in the last 25 years. Oh, and ET. Both of which I loved! Picture Quote #1

First off, I love Woody Allen. His early movies, like ‘Hannah and Her Sisters,’ are incredible. I also love anything by Billy Wilder, Ron Howard and John Hughes. I really grew up on the Hughes films, which are the ones I go back and watch all the time, just to see how they were put together Picture Quote #1

Our touchstones of slavery are ‘Song of the South,’ ‘Gone With the Wind’ and ‘The Birth of a Nation.’ It’s hard to separate the cinematic quality from the underlying themes. I appreciate the films, but the message was repugnant Picture Quote #1

There’s an appetite for vigour in films. The camera loves a bit of movement. Movement is usually attached to younger people and men, and that’s just the way it is. I think that it’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s a fact that there aren’t going to be masses and masses of roles for older women because there isn’t the audience for it Picture Quote #1

There needs to be more film directors of colour. They bandy about the word ‘diversity’ a lot, but when I say ‘of colour,’ I mean Asian, black - I mean people of all colour. We need to have those voices given the opportunity, not told that their films will not be distributed or will not sell well abroad Picture Quote #1

Ever since the romantic comedy-drama ‘She’s Gotta Have It’ antagonized black women and black men in 1986, Spike Lee’s films have enjoyed the outrage of various groups Picture Quote #1

Films portraying successful black people getting married are great, but films that only show one aspect of our culture, bother me Picture Quote #1

Blaxploitation films were black films targeting black people. They were films made to appeal to a culture in a way that was supposed to be unfiltered Picture Quote #1

I have six brothers, and in the past I’ve done quite a few girlie films, like ‘Wild Child’ and ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’ - so when they’ve been to those, they’ve been incredibly embarrassed. They won’t be embarrassed going to see ‘Black Death’ - I reckon they’re going to love it Picture Quote #1

It would certainly would be great to see more films featuring the black family and showing that we are capable of having that unit strong and present and beautiful, because that’s so much of who we really are Picture Quote #1

I watch these old films in black and white, and suddenly the door opens, and there I am. The other day, I was wearing the most awful hat Picture Quote #1

I watch 2001: A Space Odyssey every time it’s on. I made the kids watch it every time, too and now they just love watching it. Stanley Kubrick’s great. And Blade Runner is one of my top three science fiction films. A lot of it has come true Picture Quote #1

Blade Runner is one of my favorite films. But, so many thing influenced me that aren’t science fiction because they were just good drama. I grew up watching a lot of French cinema. I was in love with The English Patient, and movies that are very romantic in nature and have a positive message. That’s a large part of my fingerprint Picture Quote #1

I have been into bodies and fitness, so I am very critical about how a body should look in terms of flaunting it. I would never fall down and roll and do a cleavage shot - I have seen those in Bollywood films, and those are things I cannot tolerate. I wouldn’t do that. That’s not me - I’d rather look sharp and sexy and stylish just doing a walk Picture Quote #1

My films really have to be a part of a whole body of work that says something to me Picture Quote #1

Gleaning is getting things that are abandoned. I did not abandon my early pictures, my photos, my early films. It’s just going through my body of work as something I can pick from Picture Quote #1
