Screen Quotes

I am very aware of the fact that it’s highly unlikely anyone will write an article via their mobile phone. I’ve done it, but it’s painful. And it’s not just about the small keyboard and the small screen - though that’s awful. It’s the emotional experience of writing an article Picture Quote #1

I worked with Stanley Kubrick for almost a year back in 1990, trying to develop the screen story for his project ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ which is about a robot boy who wishes to become a real boy, a future scientific fairy tale inspired in the myth of Pinocchio Picture Quote #1

Audiences make their minds up about people they see on screen, just like they do in real life. That’s what fascinates me in film. You see a character and have to think: is this person different to what I assumed he was when I first saw him? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you have to disconnect to stay connected. Remember the old days when you had eye contact during a conversation? When everyone wasn’t looking down at a device in their hands? We’ve become so focused on that tiny screen that we forget the big picture, the people right in front of us Picture Quote #1

People are patronizing the theatres with renewed enthusiasm - there is an entire picnic-like attitude when families go out to see movies, which is a very good sign. They want to see larger-than-life characters on the big screen and not just watch movies on television or on DVDs Picture Quote #1

When I was 18 years old, I had never before seen Australian film on the big screen Picture Quote #1

When I started making dances in the 60s, narrative dance was sort of off the radar screen. What was important at the time in the avant-garde was minimalism Picture Quote #1

Growing up in Ohio and just being kind of an average guy from flyover country - my dad was a factory guy - I try to put things on a screen that reflect reality. I don’t mind if people want to argue with that, or think that’s crazy Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, I was an 80s baby, so I remember the Sega Genesis and the first Nintendo. I grew up in a time when we first started playing video games on a computer screen. Now there are headsets and your body’s the controller Picture Quote #1

Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home Picture Quote #1

All the screen cowboys behaved like real gentlemen. They didn’t drink, they didn’t smoke. When they knocked the bad guy down, they always stood with their fists up, waiting for the heavy to get back on his feet. I decided I was going to drag the bad guy to his feet and keep hitting him Picture Quote #1

To see yourself on the big screen, you’re big, you hate your voice, your vocabulary. You say the same words, you speak bad Picture Quote #1

And it was out in the theaters in two weeks. This is not, ‘We’re going to develop twenty-five and maybe one’s going to get made,’ so the first three things I wrote got up on the screen and, good, bad or indifferent, I got to see them on their feet Picture Quote #1

Filmmaking is not a balancing act, although some directors think it is. I don’t believe in it. I like ups and downs. They’re the best way to translate my feelings to the screen Picture Quote #1

It’s not in my nature to chop people’s heads off, per se, or rob a bank or any crazy thing I’ve done on screen. I’m just comfortable reading a book or spending time with my wife and my daughter or watching the fight on TV with the fellas Picture Quote #1

I’m the star of stage, screen, and television now, but I’m also available for children’s parties and bar mitzvahs Picture Quote #1

You don’t cut anywhere, don’t pick down anywhere, don’t double screen, no weak side picking. All these things that should happen in a game of basketball don’t happen anymore Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t mind doing my own film on the big screen. That’d be cool Picture Quote #1

I’m leaving the screen because I don’t think I am very good in the pictures and I have this beautiful dream that I’m elegant on the stage Picture Quote #1

I have a beautiful platter of various fruits as my computer screen saver. It’s a constant reminder to eat healthy! It helps me to make healthier food choices throughout my day Picture Quote #1

For me the future of the image is going to be in electronic form ... You will see perfectly beautiful images on an electronic screen. And Id say that would be very handsome. They would be almost as close as the best reproductions Picture Quote #1

A first kiss is hard to fake on screen. It’s tempting to practice before you shoot, but why blow that natural awkwardness on a rehearsal? There’s something so beautiful about it that can’t be faked Picture Quote #1

If you really love films, and you really want to get the full impact, there’s a huge difference between watching something on a small screen with a mediocre sound system and watching it on a giant screen in a giant theater with a huge beautiful sound system. I mean, the difference is electric Picture Quote #1

I’m encouraging these women, like Cheryl Strayed, to take the jump to writing for the screen. She is adapting her book Tiny Beautiful Things for us. They’re infinitely capable of tackling the format Picture Quote #1

Elijah looks angelic but his beauty of spirit is what makes his Frodo leap out of the screen. Unalloyed goodness is one of the most difficult attributes to act Picture Quote #1

I don’t look in the mirror; don’t like what I see; never have. I am not my idea of a beauty. Never was. This is not false modesty. I’ve just never been enamoured of my face, which of course is magnified umpteen times on screen Picture Quote #1

It’s better to think of life as a proper journey with a beginning and an end. Maybe, I can settle for being immortalised on screen Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I love: I love sitting at my desk, staring at the blank screen, and beginning that conversation with my imaginary friends Picture Quote #1
