Films Quotes

I’m so grateful to be living doing what I love. Whether it’s acting in Films or TV shows or writing and directing my own projects Picture Quote #1

All of the films that I’ve made are about the country I live in and grew up in... And I think if you’re going to put an artist’s eye to it, you’re going to put a critical eye to it. I’ve always been interested in the gray area that exists between the black and white, or the red and blue, and that’s where complexity lies Picture Quote #1

People tend to think when you’re on dramatic films, that it’s all so heavy, but it’s really not when you’re working with great actors Picture Quote #1

I know that some great actors can transform, and that’s fine. But I come from the school of thought that people put a version of themselves in their films Picture Quote #1

I’ve been really lucky to work with a lot of really great actors, so watching the films back, it’s really important to admire the people that you were working with and see their full performance Picture Quote #1

Each film has its processes. It doesn’t mean that all animated films have to be like Boy and the World, but creators have to have total freedom. There are films that are born with the purpose to sell. They are still admirable films with great artists and great visuals, but we wanted to use a more radical approach to create art. That’s what we tried to do Picture Quote #1

I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it’s a really great experience Picture Quote #1

Obviously I’ve had great experiences with people I’ve worked with on films - I’ve married half of them! I should come with a warning sign that says, ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going to try to marry you. I’m done.’ Picture Quote #1

Often it’s true that films just go right through us. You see the film, you might be entertained, and if it’s not a great film, it loses its power very quickly. I think even simply acceptable books stay with us a lot longer Picture Quote #1

There’s a para-phrase about Orson Welles saying: Great films are made by great directors and the rest are made by everyone else. I’ve been very lucky... before I start insulting the profession of directing, but I think a good director is everything and a bad director really is nothing at all Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty happy with who I am. I like myself and what I’m doing. I don’t need to be the world’s greatest director or the most famous -- or the richest. I don’t need to make a whole lot of great films. I can do my job and I can do it pretty well. This is the realization I’ve come to, later in life. It’s called growing up Picture Quote #1

To be in someone’s favorite film is just - that’s what you want. You want to be in great films that are memorable Picture Quote #1

I’ve actually been given a great gift. When I walk into an audition with a director, I’m carrying no baggage. They haven’t seen me in anything, even though I’ve done nine films Picture Quote #1

Here’s my tip: Have your production hire the best hair stylists on the planet to do your films and commercials, then casually hint about how great it would be to get a trim during lunch break Picture Quote #1

Our goal at Home Theater Films is to inspire and entertain our audience. We want to make great movies that everyone can enjoy and elevate them with contemporary, relatable characters that naturally demonstrate their faith in real world situations Picture Quote #1

I have an enormous amount of respect for Nicole Kidman. She’s just done so many great movies and she’s been out there at the forefront of carrying films and being a movie star. On set, it really pays dividends because when you’re performing with her, she knows exactly how to play it. You don’t have to compensate for her in any way Picture Quote #1

I love the work of Hayao Miyazaki. ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ and ‘Castle in the Sky’ are two of the great films that he’s made that I just love Picture Quote #1

My mother was Irish; she had this great sense of humor, and both my parents loved films. There was a very vibrant discourse about politics and everything that was going on in the world where I grew up. So I was genetically predisposed to go into the performing arts Picture Quote #1
