Films Quotes

I’ve never had a good game plan. At a certain point, making independent films became more and more appealing to me because I like freshness and originality Picture Quote #1

Only God Forgives was very much a generation gap in a way. It was all the youth of the world that embraced it. I make films for young people. That’s what I will continue to do Picture Quote #1

I did ‘Lonely Hearts’ with John Travolta and James Gandolfini. Talk about getting over your fears. These guys were amazing! Also, Cuba Gooding, Jr. is one of my favorites. We’ve made 3 films together. He is such a generous, giving actor Picture Quote #1

I’ve never left my culture. I’ve left my country, but I’ve not left my culture. In the same way, you shouldn’t be worried why George Lucas is going to the outer galaxy to make a movie. He’s still making a film within his culture; he’s making an American film. I go to Thailand or the Peruvian jungle, the Amazon, and I still make Bavarian films Picture Quote #1

I’m fascinated with films that deal with strategy because there’s a right way and a wrong way to get the job done Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you’ve done more dramatic projects or you’re classically trained Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been one for late nights, which is why I have always preferred making films to theatre. A play takes over your life: you start to feel sick at lunchtime, and by mid-afternoon, you’re wishing for a bomb scare so the whole thing will be called off. Of course, if the evening goes well and you get the applause, then it’s wonderful Picture Quote #1

I knew Secrets and Lies was a great film, but I didn’t expect it to get the attention it did because none of his other films had and I thought they were just as good Picture Quote #1

I’ve done films where you have to get in shape for purely vanity reasons, when you read a script, turn to page 87 and it says: Rips his shirt off and casually throws it onto chair - and you’re going to go to the gym the next day because nobody wants to see your big fat arse out there taking your shirt off! Picture Quote #1

You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label. There’s like, 18 different independent film-financing funds. In fact, I think the children of those films are getting made. A more interesting question is whether those films are going to get seen and appreciated Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, I ended up kind of getting sadly duped, in a way. I haven’t had an agent in 10 years, and now I’m doing some of the most interesting films I’ve ever had an opportunity to play in Picture Quote #1

I know what I miss as a cinemagoer is that balance of films that actually scare me, they’re so few and far between. I loved ghost stories, I love horror stories, I love all of that stuff, but I really yearn for something to actually frighten me Picture Quote #1

I have to say my favorite stories are ghost stories. I don’t like to see these made-up monster films or scary films with ghosts. It doesn’t do anything to me. But a real ghost story that someone tells me, that I like Picture Quote #1

I’ve been doing mostly independent films, and things like ‘Goal’ give me a chance to have more options Picture Quote #1

I once met a man who was a billionaire, and I said to him: ‘Are you a self-made man?’ - and he turned around and said: ‘No man is self-made;’ and certainly, if you want to make films or get into television or even theatre, the amount of help that you need, the amount of people who need to give you a helping hand is extraordinary Picture Quote #1

Cartoon Hangover has given us another place we felt we could find the most talented people around the world and give them a chance to make the films they want to make and match it up with their audience Picture Quote #1

I mean, money people are usually quite brisk, but mine aren’t, and they keep on giving me spaces so that I’ve been able to go on and do plays and films Picture Quote #1

If I give five flops, I won’t get a job. You have to perform at the box office when you are at the top. No one is running a charity here. People are putting huge amounts of money to make movies, and they want the films to be successful. They have invested money in you, so it is your duty to make sure the film does well Picture Quote #1

I have very strong relationships with my actors when I’m shooting. When you love an actor’s work, you always feel you have to go further, and you make several films together. One film just gives you time to get acquainted Picture Quote #1

Like probably a lot of people, I came away from watching films like ‘Miss Representation’ and ‘Half the Sky’ with the realization that the battle for women’s rights is not over, especially not globally, and that the moral imperative of our century is to achieve full rights for everyone regardless of gender Picture Quote #1

I think that my films are basically family stories, beyond the fact that they are global and have political and social commentary Picture Quote #1

Films, fiction, can encompass a whole global vision on a particular subject with any story, whatever it is. You can play the story in whatever country with whatever language in whatever style you want to tell the story in Picture Quote #1

It’s very hard to go to Monument Valley and not think of John Ford’s films Picture Quote #1

My big goal in life was always to figure out how I can make a lot of money so I can go off and make films irrespective of the opinion of the three or four critics who seem to rule the roost Picture Quote #1

I compose music for films, and by the grace of God, I’ve got a few awards. That’s it Picture Quote #1

Life goes on pretty much the same way. I’ve been working on a couple of films on the side. You may see some more. You may even see another television show Picture Quote #1

Everyone has different goals. For myself, I would rather take less roles and be working on films that I’m passionate about, that are going to challenge me, and that I’m going to be growing from. I don’t ever want to take a movie just for the sake of working Picture Quote #1

They put all this money into these huge films and then no one goes to see them. That sort of shows they’re out of touch. Then everyone in town passes on my little movie and it does really well Picture Quote #1

If I watch ‘Gone With the Wind,’ I always find it interesting. I think, ‘What’s going to happen next? What’s that character going to do?’ But you know, you never really need to watch the films you made again. They stay inside you, always with you Picture Quote #1

I do all these various activities like painting and writing, comedy and films probably because not that I’m good at everything but because I’m not good at any of these things Picture Quote #1
