Movie Quotes

My stuff always starts with interviews. I start interviewing people, and then slowly but surely, a movie insinuates itself Picture Quote #1

I can never find a movie I want to watch, even though I’ve got hundreds to choose from Picture Quote #1

The major studios are by and large banks, and they give you what is by and large a loan to make a movie. Like banks, they want their money back plus Picture Quote #1

Putting something in a movie because it’s in the news doesn’t make it political to me. If you’re not going outside the same old, same old, if you’re not pushing the envelope, then you’re not doing anything. A good movie is a political thing Picture Quote #1

Well, I think that you know, I threatened myself with quitting after every movie. But I think everybody does that, right? Picture Quote #1

You get to a point where you have to start planning, when you cross that line where you have enough value to get someone’s movie made if you attach yourself to it, you have to be very thoughtful and have to plan. When you’re starting out, you’re willing to do anything Picture Quote #1

I guess I could say I’m an actor, which I am, but that sounds like I’m putting down being a movie star, which, let’s face it, is what I’ve become to many people. For myself, I’m a guy who was very insecure from about age 14 until the day I hit my 30th birthday Picture Quote #1

When I go to movies and I love the movie, it’s because it feels like it articulated something about how we’re living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it Picture Quote #1

Comedy and horror are cousins; they’re related. They both come from storytellers who want to specifically affect the audience and elicit specific reactions during the movie Picture Quote #1

Really, it’s the director’s job to disappear and allow the movie to just feel Picture Quote #1

Filmmaking is a completely imperfect art form that takes years and, over those years, the movie tells you what it is. Mistakes happen, accidents happen and true great films are the results of those mistakes and the decisions that those directors make during those moments Picture Quote #1

I laugh a lot in horror films. If I’m scared in a horror film, I try to think about what’s scaring me... particularly, if it’s a bad movie, but something they’re doing still works. It’s the same way I look at comedy. I’ve always had an intellectual view of comedy, and what makes people laugh, and how does it work Picture Quote #1

I’d done table reads for my own screenplays, and I always thought they were so much fun. Why couldn’t we do these for other classic screenplays and bring them to life? You can experience live theater, where you get to see plays produced by different directors and different casts, but there’s really nothing like that for movie scripts Picture Quote #1

I’ve got to be active in life, and it’s the same when I’m doing stunts in a movie: I’ll do anything Picture Quote #1

A live action movie is work, and an animated movie is you showing up in your pajamas once every three months, or in my case, just a splash of baby powder. It’s not any kind of heavy lifting Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, because there are so many stereotypes out there about actors and movie stars in general, but I’ve had a great opportunity to meet a lot of them, and maybe it’s just because they don’t behave that way around me, but I rarely see that kind of abuse of power Picture Quote #1

There’s an old saying that you don’t ever finish a movie, you abandon it, and I really believe that. I never walk away from a take and pat myself on the back Picture Quote #1

I would play hooky from school and spend all day in the movie theaters. Consequently, I learned satire in all its subtle forms Picture Quote #1

I guess it’s a kind of a goal for any actor to be the lead of a movie. Not for ego reasons, but because it is creatively the biggest challenge Picture Quote #1

To me, to spend all the time and energy and face all those creative challenges that you would spend for a two hour movie, you’re inventing a world, you’re inventing characters. If they’re interesting enough, they should be compelling enough to go for five more episodes. How incredibly frustrating would it be to just do one movie? Picture Quote #1

Anytime you make a movie, the goal is a wide theatrical release, with the right distributor Picture Quote #1

Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star Picture Quote #1

Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It’s part ballet. It’s part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage Picture Quote #1

If a movie isn’t released, it’s one thing, but if you know it will be, it’s nice to have closure and see it come out Picture Quote #1

I think animation is like running a marathon, and making a movie is like a 100 meter sprint. The question is: are you a marathon man or are you a sprinter? I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily Picture Quote #1

The movie business is not about the money. Of course, you need money to make the movie. If you have a small budget, adapt yourself. Having $200 million dollars doesn’t ensure that you’re definitely going to make a good movie. There’s so many examples that prove that Picture Quote #1

A horrible script 99 percent of the time means a horrible movie. But if you start with a good script, odds are you’re going to have a good movie Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to see a movie twice. I don’t want to do anything twice Picture Quote #1

I love the idea of a movie hero in a thriller who is able to get ahead by just his brilliance, and not with a gun or by being an action hero Picture Quote #1

The problem with being a film actress or a movie star is that people see you so huge that somehow you’re visually massive or somehow you’re in some removed space, which is a television or wherever. It somehow takes your humanity Picture Quote #1
