Films Quotes

If you had told me in the Seventies and Eighties that TV would be as edgy or edgier than most films, and more intelligently written than most films, I wouldn’t have believed it. There’s great stuff out there Picture Quote #1

I’ve done great theatre, great films and had a lot of opportunities in television. I also love to sing, and I’ve been able to do that once or twice in the television shows Picture Quote #1

I don’t just act to pay my rent. I really like doing it, so I get frustrated when I don’t get to do it all the time, so short films are a really great way to be doing it and working with your friends, working on smaller, more specific things without limiting yourself in other ways Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge fan of the films of the 70s and even into the 80s, Sidney Lumet, all those films that used what was going on in people’s lives as drama. And not only are you entertained, but hopefully have a greater understanding of your world coming out of it Picture Quote #1

I was asked to be in the last two ‘Harry Potter’ films and I couldn’t do it because I was busy filming ‘Grey’s Anatomy Picture Quote #1

If I knew how to operate a DVR, you’d find episodes of ‘The Tavis Smiley Show,’ ‘Democracy Now!’ and lots of stuff from TV Land. What you can find now on my Hulu account are Korean soap operas, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and films from the Criterion collection Picture Quote #1

Television is a lot more fast-paced, where with films, you really have the ability to get to know your characters. When I was doing guest star roles, I was only one, like, one episode of a thirty minute to an hour show, so you don’t really have time to get to know my characters Picture Quote #1

I’m reading scripts just like everybody else. Tin cup in hand, knocking on doors, trying to get a job. It’s tough. They don’t make as many films these days, and there’s a lot of guys that are fighting for jobs Picture Quote #1

People in the metros are busy making ends meet, but through my films, I like to give the reality of life a skip, and choose concepts which will give audiences a stress-free two-and-a-half hours Picture Quote #1

I knew that I’d end up directing because I’m so hands-on with my films Picture Quote #1

I love doing features, but it’s a very different ballgame. Sometimes I yearn for short films again, working with a small team, getting my hands on the clay Picture Quote #1

My whole life has been a very communal experience; growing up in a house full of happy hippies, having dinner parties three days a week, and going to Christiania, I was constantly surrounded by people celebrating community. If you look at the films I’ve done, they all share that theme Picture Quote #1

Most films I work on, the people making the film are constantly second-guessing the executives of the studio, the producer, and the audience. It is very hard to accomplish anything in that situation Picture Quote #1

I can think of films that I’m producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter Picture Quote #1

It’s tough to get any film made, even if you’re Martin Scorsese. It’s just hard to get films made Picture Quote #1

I do like to make films with a political theme, but sometimes it’s nice simply to make people laugh. That’s the hardest thing to do in fact Picture Quote #1

My laboratory,’ I said, experimentally, drawing out each syllable. ‘Why is it that saying it like that always makes me want to follow it with ‘mwoo-hah-hah-hahhhhh’? ‘’You were overexposed to Hammer Films as a child?’ - Harry Dresden and Bob the Skull, Changes, Jim Butcher Picture Quote #1

There is visual illiteracy with text-oriented films like bloody ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Lord of the Rings.’ Picture Quote #1

I have been in five Harry Potter films and never read a ‘Harry Potter’ book. If you are an actor, all you have is the script you are given. If you read the book, you might get disappointed about what’s been left out Picture Quote #1

I don’t like people who drain my time and energy. If you’ve seen the Harry Potter films, we use the term ‘dementors’ - people who can draw the life out of you in terms of your energy. So we eradicate the ‘dementors’, encourage the positive people, and that spreads around to create the team spirit we have here Picture Quote #1

There’s one thing which I hate about color films... people who use up a lot of their despairing producer’s money by working in the laboratory to bring out the dominant hues, or to make color films where there isn’t any color Picture Quote #1

I enjoy making films, but my heart is in the stage. Every night you have to be on. There’s no second take Picture Quote #1

Of all the options I had got, I think whatever films I have chosen to do are best Picture Quote #1

Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn’t want to do Picture Quote #1
