Films Quotes

I’d been a Bond girl and in Dracula films and ‘Coronation Street,’ but I was always hunting for work. After ‘The New Avengers,’ I never had to wait for work again Picture Quote #1

I always loved Batman, the Michael Keaton ‘Batman.’ I loved those films, and Superman, but I was never a real comic book geek Picture Quote #1

I was in three of the Harry Potter films without reading one of those book, quite thankfully Picture Quote #1

If I get stuck doing comic-book films for the rest of my life, I’ll be really happy Picture Quote #1

It’s ironic: In movies, the most successful films of all time have been sci-fi or fantasy. By far. But a lot of people won’t even read science fiction books Picture Quote #1

In books or films, it is desirable to have a climactic battle scene, but the world does not operate in those gross dramatic terms. In Vietnam, there was a general aimlessness, not just in the physical sense, but beyond that in the moral and ethical sense Picture Quote #1

Humanizing good people is kind of boring and I don’t really see the value in it... humanizing tricky characters is exhilarating, and making audience films out of indie subjects excites me Picture Quote #1

Well, you’ll find the most boring part of it is the waiting, at least if it’s in films anyway. Television’s a lot faster, but the product... I don’t think it’s as good as a film Picture Quote #1

I love improv. I do it with my co-star John Michael Higgins in both ‘Pitch Perfect’ films Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I know a film might not pull the audience to the theatres and have a great collection at the box office. But I need to do these films for creative satisfaction and give something different to the audience Picture Quote #1

My mother was keen that I complete my graduation and never ever wanted me to be in the movies, as my father had made five films that lost money. One of the films he made was ‘Agneepath,’ which was hugely hyped but underwhelming at the box office, and I remember that my dad had to sell my grandmother’s flat to pay off the loan Picture Quote #1

In Quebec, we’re less inhibited artistically, culturally, politically. We’re less focused on box office and comparing our films to the American films Picture Quote #1

Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that’s another discussion entirely Picture Quote #1

Women were real box office stars in the 40s, more so than men. People loved to see women’s films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system Picture Quote #1

The effort always remains that my new film outdoes my last in terms of performance and gets better box office success. Box office is the sole reason why I do films Picture Quote #1

It’s not simply that British films do well at the box office and generate revenue, it’s that they provide a window to the world of what Britain and its culture is about Picture Quote #1

I remember breaking the news to both my parents that I wanted to be a director, and they both looked very doubtful. They didn’t know what a closet Hindi film buff I was. I used to dance to old Hindi films songs on the sly, so my decision to be a part of Hindi cinema was shocking even for my parents Picture Quote #1

I have a really embarrassing reaction to horror films. I break out in a fever Picture Quote #1

I like Jailhouse Rock and Love Me Tender. The black-and-white films. With music, I tend more toward the 70s stuff because I was at the shows for those, so they bring back memories Picture Quote #1

British actors come at acting from a slightly different angle. Because a lot of the films are cast out there, they are so used to the angle from which the Americans, and certainly the young guys from L.A., are coming at it, that I think it’s interesting for them to find these English actors who maybe approach acting from a different place Picture Quote #1

Audiences seem to have a limitless appetite for vampires and for fantasy in general. Unlike many other British actors, I haven’t been building up my pension appearing in films like ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Harry Potter,’ but fantasy has now got a grip on me. I am also appearing in ‘Game of Thrones’ as the head of the House of Lannister Picture Quote #1

Shooting films in Britain is always difficult, because we’ve never got enough money to make them Picture Quote #1

I’d rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to work on films, and when I was starting in television in this country, in Great Britain, there really wasn’t any film to be made Picture Quote #1

For British cinema to survive, you really need a British film culture, and it’s got to start down there, with young kids watching films in the cinema - so they can be transported to a different world Picture Quote #1

I think the British industry is set up to support British film, if we make films that enable them to support it. If you don’t make a commercial film, distributors can’t get behind it. If they don’t get behind it, the film doesn’t do well Picture Quote #1

I have made all my films for my children with the exception of my first film because my oldest daughter wasn’t born when I was making the film about the Brooklyn Bridge Picture Quote #1

I was a dancer from about the age of four, so I was always performing and forcing my parents to watch my brother and I do ‘Jesus Christ Super Star’ in the living room. My first step was community theater, and then I started to do films Picture Quote #1

Tender Mercies is a very low-budget film, but it was a huge budget compared to anything I had done in Australia. My fee for Tender Mercies was something like five times all of my Australian films combined Picture Quote #1

Tisch has a great film program and a great acting program, but they are segregated; you don’t really intertwine. My peers knew I liked acting, so they’d be like, ‘Go get that guy Gubler. He’ll be in your student film.’ I was in the same building. I became their go-to guy. So I left NYU having been in probably one thousand short films Picture Quote #1
