Films Quotes

If someone pulls me down, I pull them down, as I don’t feel I should live my life in the way other people want me to. If they have a problem with my films, I can rip off their films, be it comedy or their family dramas, which are low on content and have over-theatrical acting Picture Quote #1

Films are really cool because, every couple months, or however many times you can get a job because there’s a lot of luck involved in that, you’re playing a different character Picture Quote #1

And of course I’ve got kids of my own now, and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I’m now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids, and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You’re suddenly hip Picture Quote #1

I love working with young people and young filmmakers, and I love working on first films. I think it’s cool. It’s fun. I just take it as it comes Picture Quote #1

I graduated from Academy of Fashion and Costume Design in Rome. At first, I thought I was going to be a costume designer for films, and then I ended up working in fashion - not as a designer, but mostly as a model Picture Quote #1

My first few films were institutional comedies, and you’re on pretty safe ground when you’re dealing with an institution that vast numbers of people have experienced: college, summer camp, the military, the country club Picture Quote #1

A lot of country making films in English, but in Japan we are very shy to speak English Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been into visual effects. It was something I took keen interest in before films happened. Ironically, I am a part of ‘Raaz 3,’ a film that is shot entirely on 3D. It has encouraged me to pursue my dream. Hopefully, if time permits, I will travel to the United States and attend a crash course in visual graphics and animation Picture Quote #1

I’m seeing a guy now who has nothing to do with films. It’s so much nicer with somebody who isn’t an actor. Two crazy people in one house would be too much. It’s better there’s one crazy person, and one nice person who looks after that crazy person Picture Quote #1

Julia Roberts most definitely would play me in the film of my life. Not just because of the hair but because she has all sides to her personality come through in films that I could just imagine her playing my crazy self so well Picture Quote #1

Creating art (music, books, films, etc.) can be beautiful and liberating, but trying to sell art, well, that is the movie business. There are few winners, and lots and lots of losers Picture Quote #1

You are relying on a waiting on other people in acting and films, so to be able to have something that I have full creative control over is really very therapeutic Picture Quote #1

I think that short films often contain an originality, a creative freedom, an energy and an invention that is inspiring and entertaining. I think they are, as Shakespeare put it, a good deed in a naughty world Picture Quote #1

Showtime has given new, young filmmakers - black, white, across the board - an opportunity to make films, as well as actors who want to cross over into directing Picture Quote #1

I really like films and plays that cross over different genres. So I’d like to do something that you think is a drama and then you think is a supernatural thing and then becomes a drama again. That’s very vague Picture Quote #1

Pretty much all films I’ve seen that depict the life of Christ end with the Crucifixion, almost like the filmmakers don’t know what to do after Picture Quote #1

The ‘low’ quality of many American films, and of much American popular culture, induces many art lovers to support cultural protectionism. Few people wish to see the cultural diversity of the world disappear under a wave of American market dominance Picture Quote #1

I’ve made some films for the military that are teaching things like cultural awareness and leadership issues, that sort of stuff. And try to, in essence, look at what training they’re doing and say, ‘This is how you can improve the training from a humanistic point of view.’ Picture Quote #1

We spend all this energy keeping our lives normal and safe and predictable, and the result is that our approved cultural safety valve is the movies. So in films, anyway, the hero is obliged to represent the continuance of social values and institutions, and his permission to act is much more seriously limited than the villain’s Picture Quote #1

I like making films about different cultures. I’m interested in things that I’ve never encountered before. I try to put myself in the audience’s position Picture Quote #1

When someone talks about Western films, you probably think of those old black and white cowboy films your granddad likes. But the Western is a wonderful genre because it is usually a story of a lone hero fighting against corruption in a dangerous world Picture Quote #1

It’s the opposite journey from what I’ve usually done with films. I find it very easy to go from, say, a lit, pleasurable environment, like what you see outside there, to a very dark place. But the opposite journey, which is what this movie takes, is much more complicated Picture Quote #1

I think I began getting really influenced by that whole punk scene around the age of 13 or 14-I went through that whole thing like the shaved head. I was always interested in what people called the darker side, whatever that was, and the kind of look that you would see in the old horror films. So I let that become more of my persona Picture Quote #1

David Lynch was actually the one who first inspired me to become a filmmaker when I was in high school. His films just took me to that dream place that lifts you out of the norm, out of the everyday life, and that is kind of what allured me Picture Quote #1

I’ve been doing independent films for 10 years, but one out of five didn’t see the light of day Picture Quote #1

You really don’t have a life when you’re working. I always think oh, I’m gonna see everybody on my days off. I’m gonna read so many books and see so many films and then three months go by Picture Quote #1
