Movie Quotes

When I was young, I wanted to be a movie star. But I realized that you have no control being an actor. So I went to architecture school in NYC, because I was crazy about buildings. Then I began to realize that I got more excited about Vogue coming out each month than I was about my projects Picture Quote #1

I love Christmas. Frosty the Snowman, peace on Earth and mangers, Salvation Army bell ringers and reindeer, the movie ‘Meet Me in St. Louis,’ office parties and cookies Picture Quote #1

I came out of high school, where my heroes were, like, Michael Jordan and a lot of local rugby players - and on the movie front, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone Picture Quote #1

Some of the best art in the world is collaborative, a mix of voices that are stronger together than separate. Take the Beatles, for example. Or every great movie ever made. We like to say they’re the director’s vision, but really, they’re huge collaborations between directors, writers, actors, even producers Picture Quote #1

I think making a movie is like drawing or creating an art piece. The artwork reflects part of your personality, but not all Picture Quote #1

You know, I feel like my job is to write a book. Then filmmakers come and they make a movie. And they’re two really different art forms Picture Quote #1

The funny thing about my films is that you can make little piles of them. You could make little piles of the movie that were family movies, you could make a little art movie pile, you could make a little action movie pile Picture Quote #1

I never know going in if I’ve even got a movie to make. Once you start making a film, you hope there’s going to be enough material! My job as a director is always to push for more Picture Quote #1

I’m a contemporary artist with a bit of an unexpected background. I was in my 20s before I ever went to an art museum. I grew up in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road in rural Arkansas, an hour from the nearest movie theater Picture Quote #1

Painting is like breathing to me. It’s what I do all the time. Every day I make art, whether it is painting, writing or making a movie Picture Quote #1

I have always had a deep belief that every movie, every artistic expression, is political. Don’t be fooled. Even ones that we wouldn’t consider overtly political are political. When we spend time doing anything, whether it’s distraction or whether it’s something that we have to face, it is always political. That’s my belief Picture Quote #1

I think at the end of the day this movie is respecting what we as women go through as we grow up. The experiences, what we deal with, other women, things about images, things that we deal with as women Picture Quote #1

I won’t call my work entertainment. It’s exploring. It’s asking questions of people, constantly. ‘How much do you feel? How much do you know? Are you aware of this? Can you cope with this?’ A good movie will ask you questions you don’t already know the answers to. Why would I want to make a film about something I already understand? Picture Quote #1

I joined the Madras Christian College but dropped out after three months. Telugu music director Ramesh Naidu asked me to assist him, and I did so for over a year. I did think of rejoining college, but by then, I was discovering the musician in me. I worked with Illaya Raja and Raj Koti and soon shifted to commercials. This led to movie offers Picture Quote #1

When I am working on a movie, all I want to talk about is the movie. All I want to be with are the movie people. It’s like a clan. If I’m asked to people’s houses for dinner, I hate to go, because they’ll talk about other things Picture Quote #1

Hollywood called me, asking me, How much to do a movie with Farrah Fawcett? $50,000 They called back, How about $20,000? I said, I’ll pay it! Picture Quote #1

When I’m actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it’s a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying Picture Quote #1

I always laugh because people assume I love horror because I do a horror movie, but I’m not a huge horror fan Picture Quote #1

If ‘Star Wars’ wasn’t enough to prepare me for a dark future, there was the ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise, conveniently repeated for me in Los Angeles on KABC’s Channel Seven 3:30 movie. Apes enslaving humans! Mutants with boils and an atom bomb! Ape riots in Century City! They killed baby Caesar’s parents! Picture Quote #1

Acting and recording an album at the same time, that’s not my sport. I could write a movie when my attention was paid to that. But I’m good at one thing at a time Picture Quote #1

I would say that it’s a lot easier, especially if you have a bit of an attention deficit disorder, to be on a movie because you can give it your all, and kill yourself for however many months, and then let it go Picture Quote #1

I definitely pay attention to details. I think one of the hardest things about making a movie is that it can be scrutinized over and over again. If anything just isn’t right, it’s going to take you out of the film Picture Quote #1

I think that my Let’s get it done! Let’s have fun! Let’s make a great movie! attitude helped. I rarely have problems on my movies with egos and attitudes Picture Quote #1

There’s a punk-rock attitude, clearly, to ‘Hated.’ There’s even a punk-rock attitude to ‘The Hangover,’ I think. We start the movie with a Glenn Danzig song Picture Quote #1

It’s more interesting for me as an audience member to see a movie about a loser Picture Quote #1

I think once you’ve finished a movie you really have to detach from it so that you can come back and watch it as an audience member Picture Quote #1

When I get a script, it’s the only time that I get to be an audience member with the first-time experience of that movie. That’s the first and only time Picture Quote #1

Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie. If you happen to like my films, it’s because my films provide a bed for you on which you can find your creativity. The Hollywood movies do not provide that for you Picture Quote #1

Mind you, Roman Holiday - which is kind of a romantic comedy - is one of my favorite films, and I think Audrey Hepburn is absolutely phenomenal in that movie Picture Quote #1

Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ isn’t a great movie because Audrey Hepburn is brilliant and everyone else isn’t. It’s a great movie because everybody is fascinating, and she is at the center of it being amazing Picture Quote #1
