Films Quotes

I see film roles as lovely presents that come along now and again. I feel really lucky and say thank you very much. And if they fly me to L.A., I think, ‘God, I must really be doing well.’ I’ve worked with De Niro and Brando and Pacino, and that’s made me feel very lucky. But the films have never meant a lot to me Picture Quote #1

Humor is very interesting to me. My films are not comedies, but there’s comedy in them from time to time, absurdities, just like in real life Picture Quote #1

I’ve been involved in lots of comic book stuff; I’ve done numerous films based on comic books and TV shows Picture Quote #1

Most films are rooted in a book or a comic strip, but I don’t go out there saying I want to do adaptations Picture Quote #1

I never storyboard. I hate it. I don’t understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films Picture Quote #1

They do think it is a big summer movie and that’s why they want to give it a great chance, but they don’t want to go up against Spider-Man 2 or some of the other big movies, the $100 million films that are coming up Picture Quote #1

My production company wasn’t doing well, so we were not producing films. Over a period of time, we have realized that we are going to produce our own films and make cinema that we like. We’ve got so much in-house talent, and my kids are going to be coming, so we all decided that we are going to be in films and cinema Picture Quote #1

Before my commercial success, I had difficulty doing what I wanted, but my sincere short films always won prizes in festivals. So I was ready for larger successes Picture Quote #1

Well, I think I’ve made 44 films and only like four times I’ve played real characters I’m just drawn to people who have a pioneer spirit, this extraordinary energy and commitment to their cause Picture Quote #1

I am so picky about what films I get myself into because it’s such an explosion of energy and commitment once you get in there, you destroy your life until you deliver these films. I never want to be in the position of making films that won’t be a great use of 90 minutes of someone’s life Picture Quote #1

Before I thought there was a common denominator between my films - as if all my characters were sisters - but I’m not so sure now Picture Quote #1

My beliefs encompass all religions. But I never show my religious inclination in my films. My characters have dark sides; they aren’t the god-fearing characters. It wasn’t a conscious decision. I’m a very lazy and emotional person who connects with the common man Picture Quote #1

Suspense films are often based on communication problems, and that affects all of the plot points. It almost gives it kind of a fable feeling Picture Quote #1

The ethos of most films is that you make a film, you exploit the community, you exploit the environment, and it’s OK because you made a great film, you know? Picture Quote #1

I don’t want the Latino community to think I think the reason Latino films are not doing well is because of us. It is not fully our responsibility Picture Quote #1

My first interest was always music, and somehow that channelled itself into films and acting. I don’t know what the natural transition of it was. I mean I acted a little bit when I was young and like any kid would in a community theatre Picture Quote #1

You work with the communities to make films. And you just don’t go in and take over their territory Picture Quote #1

I’m what you call a good, old-fashioned working actor who has had delusions of grandeur for my entire career and has known what I want to do, but there’s a lot going on out there. There are a lot fewer films being made, and there’s a lot of competition Picture Quote #1

Televisa is the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world, and the steps we have taken, which extend the tenure of our exclusive access to Televisa’s premium Spanish-language telenovelas, sports, sitcoms, reality series, news programs and feature films, put Univision in a stronger competitive position Picture Quote #1

The films that I’ve done before were original stories most of the time, I did two adaptations before this, but they were mostly original stories where I had complete freedom to evolve in the direction I wanted Picture Quote #1

I don’t think that you can be prescriptive about anything, I mean, life is too complicated. Maybe there are novels where the author has not in the least thought about it in terms of film, which can be turned into good films Picture Quote #1

After 100 years, films should be getting really complicated. The novel has been reborn about 400 times, but it’s like cinema is stuck in the birth canal Picture Quote #1

Yeah, I’m a geek. I read sci-fi and I watch sci-fi films. I love my computer and I love to fix it. I’m a total nerd. I literally am a 12-year-old geeky boy trapped in a 32-year-old woman’s body Picture Quote #1

When I started work with LucasArts Computer Division back in 1984, I went to the Palace of Fine Arts and saw the Festival of Animation for the first time. I loved the diverse collection of animated films the festival held Picture Quote #1

When I got out of coaching, I had taught a class at the University of California, an extension class on football for fans. I was looking for tools. I was showing them films. I was going to write a textbook. Trip Hawkins came to me about making it a game for computers Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a connection with ‘Nightcrawler’ and ‘Blowup’ and other films where visual imagery is integral to the story. It allows you to play with images Picture Quote #1

I am writing a book called ‘The History of Australia in Hundred Objects.’ It’s of things we have invented in Australia. And you know, some of them are amazing. We invented the clapper boards used in films. We invented those cranes - those big long cranes used on construction sites Picture Quote #1

I used to do lots of independent films and for a while I was very content living in New York City and doing independent movies and off-Broadway theater. I loved it, I had a really good time doing that, and I worked on a lot of projects that are very dear to my heart, both plays and films Picture Quote #1

I would love to. A dream of mine is to produce films, as well as to produce content for television Picture Quote #1

I think films about men are often about characters who don’t want to express their feelings. You’re supposed to kind of admire them for not expressing their feelings. And I feel that’s a bit dull. Women’s stories often have stronger emotional content, which I enjoy doing. What I really love doing is mixing that with humor Picture Quote #1
