Graham Moore Quotes

I was a sound engineer. That was my day job when I started writing Picture Quote #1

Depression is something I’ve dealt with every day of my life Picture Quote #1

Britain in 1939 and 1940 really thought they were going to lose the war. It looked like they were going to lose. There was bombing every day, and people were literally starving Picture Quote #1

If you know someone’s secret, what power does that give you? How much power does that really give you? What can you do with secrets? Picture Quote #1

When you use the language of ‘fact checking’ to talk about a film, I think you’re sort of fundamentally misunderstanding how art works. You don’t fact check Monet’s ‘Water Lilies.’ That’s not what water lilies look like; that’s what the sensation of experiencing water lilies feel like. That’s the goal of the piece Picture Quote #1

A lot of biopics to me feel very much like someone is standing in front of the camera and is reading a Wikipedia page to you, like someone is reciting event. Did you know this happened? Did you know that happened? But Alan Turing’s life deserved a sort of passionate film, and an exciting film Picture Quote #1

One of the tricky things about sort of larger, comic-book action movies is that the scale is so big that they have to save the world at the end of every movie, and so at the end of each of the films, either Chicago or New York end up getting obliterated Picture Quote #1

I did an adaptation for a movie called ‘The Devil in the White City’ by Erik Larson for Warner Brothers. I love that book Picture Quote #1

Depression is internal. The upswings and downswings have pretty much nothing to do with what’s going on in the external world. It’s not like something sad happens to you and then you feel sad. Good things happen, but you feel sad anyway Picture Quote #1

Space camp was actually, like, the best summer of my life. It was amazing. But I thought I wanted to be a computer programmer, and among computer science folks, Turing is this object of cult-like fascination Picture Quote #1

When I was a teenager, I was a huge computer nerd. I went to computer programming camp. I went to space camp Picture Quote #1

My mother, she worked in the mayor’s office in Chicago when I was growing up and has been in democratic politics for a long time Picture Quote #1

The Imitation Game’ is a celebration of Alan Turing’s life and legacy, and Joan’s final monologue is our eulogy. It’s the thing we all wished we could have said to him Picture Quote #1

Turing was always a legend among computer/geeky kids. He was such an outsider in his own time, and because of that, he was able to see things differently. It was a story that had been well told in books, onstage and on TV, but never on film Picture Quote #1

I love the filmmaking process. It can be loud sometimes, and people love having conference calls, so working on a book is the polar opposite. It’s very relaxing Picture Quote #1

I believe in traditions; I believe in the idea of things being passed between generations and the slow transmission of cultural values through tradition Picture Quote #1

Alan Turing is so important to me and to the world, and his story is so important to be told, so it was a big thing to take up, and I was a little petrified. Like, who am I to write the Alan Turing story? He’s one of the great geniuses of the 20th century - who was horribly persecuted for being gay - and I’m a kid from Chicago Picture Quote #1

Being bad at stuff is hard, and we all deal with it every day because we’re all bad at stuff Picture Quote #1

I started a novel right before ‘The Imitation Game,’ so it’s funny now, four years later, to be coming almost back to finishing it Picture Quote #1

When I think of Sherlock Holmes, I think of a guy who can wander into the confusion of life and sort of pluck out answers at will Picture Quote #1

One thing that I always loved about, say, ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, is that Indiana Jones gets the Ark of the Covenant about sixty percent of the way through the movie. And then the rest of it is get-out-alive. To me, that’s really cool. Because he’s the one you care about at the end of the day Picture Quote #1

I think everyone practices their Oscars acceptance speech with a shampoo bottle, and I’ve done my fair share of them. It’s really surreal to be able to do it in real life Picture Quote #1

There is an undeniable exhilaration in moment of even the smallest discovery Picture Quote #1

When I was 16 years old I tried to kill myself because I felt different and that I didn’t belong. Now I’m here, and I want this moment to be for that kid who feels weird or different. Stay weird, stay different Picture Quote #1

I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she doesn’t fit in anywhere. You do. Stay weird. Stay different, and then when it’s your turn and you are standing on this stage please pass the same message along Picture Quote #1
