Todd Phillips Quotes

I just love the look of film. But I have nothing against HD Picture Quote #1
I really got into filmmaking through photography Picture Quote #1
My dog’s a gentleman Picture Quote #1
I feel like movies when they work they’ll find an audience Picture Quote #1
There are movie sites that love movies and there are movie sites that are just bitter people that just hate movies. I find Movieline to be in the latter. The tone is bizarrely hateful Picture Quote #1
I remember that when I got to NYU, everyone was writing scripts. But I was 18 at the time, and when you write a script, so much of it is about what you pull from life, and this sounds sort of cheesy, but I felt like I didn’t have enough life experience at that point to write a movie Picture Quote #1

You know, if I started worrying about what the critics think, I’d never make another comedy. You couldn’t pick a less funny group than critics - you couldn’t find a more bitter group of people! Picture Quote #1
You’re only as good as your body of work, and everybody has issues, whether it’s Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese. I’m not comparing myself to those guys, but you learn more from the misses than the hits 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
I think comedy directors tend to feel a need to justify the bad behavior, and I just never think that. I like bad behavior, I’ve always liked bad behavior, I’m a fan of bad behavior, and I don’t think you have to justify bad behavior Picture Quote #1
I think reviewers have become particularly venomous because, in a way, the power has been sucked from them. A 15-year-old can write a review on the Internet and it means as much as Roger Ebert’s review, and that just makes Roger Ebert mad, so he comes out harder and stronger Picture Quote #1
I tend to make movies about my peer group. I couldn’t see myself now going back and making a movie about a bunch of college kids, necessarily. I kind of always operate in the things I’m observing around me, whether it’s friends having babies now in my life or what have you Picture Quote #1

When I was in NYU Film School I drove a taxi in New York for two years, I felt like I owned my own business with that little taxi Picture Quote #1
I find I like to work with a lot of the same actors, because I find that there’s sort of shorthand there, and there is this unspoken trust, both ways. They trust me and I trust them. And I know what I’m going to get from them, to an extent. It’s just fun, kind of creating this little family Picture Quote #1
I don’t have a horror film in me just because I don’t like to be scared. But I definitely have a documentary in me, and I certainly have dramas Picture Quote #1
Well, it’s so cheesy to say but you can’t find a comedy director who makes movies for critics. When a movie does $580 million worldwide, I’m not saying that proves anything except people were enjoying the experience Picture Quote #1
It’s heartbreaking when you hear a kid buying a ticket for... I don’t know, whatever movie you’re up against. And you see them sneaking into your film. It’s just heartbreaking. But in the spirit of full disclosure, that is what I did as an 11-year-old sneaking into ‘Stripes.’ Picture Quote #1
Reality television hasn’t killed documentaries, because there are so many great documentaries still being made, but it certainly has changed the landscape Picture Quote #1

Comedies are just never that expensive quite frankly. They really aren’t. We aren’t doing green screen shooting, so even Hangover II in Bangkok might seem like it’s expensive, you’re flying over and back, but they’re just not that expensive to make when you do it the way we do it which is very focused and I’ve done it before Picture Quote #1
Comedy is so subjective. You could be in a room with 400 people laughing at a joke and you could just not think it’s funny. You’re just sitting there like, ‘Am I in the twilight zone? Why is everyone laughing?’ It’s such a personal thing. People have such a personal visceral response to comedy Picture Quote #1
There’s a darkness under ‘The Hangover’ because ultimately there’s a missing person and it’s not really that funny. There’s a sort of darkness under it that I love, and still people are laughing as hard if not harder than they did in ‘Old School.’ Picture Quote #1
I never had a ton of male friends and it’s always been something that’s really interesting to me, what brings guys together? The bonding. ‘Old School’ is a good example of that. And even ‘Starsky’ and even ‘Road Trip.’ Picture Quote #1
To make a movie about mayhem, sometimes you have to go to mayhem Picture Quote #1
You set the tone on the set that you want to see in the film Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
Not every movie has to serve as every audience member’s need for completion Picture Quote #1
I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it’s a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff Picture Quote #1
Well, it’s so cheesy to say but you can’t find a comedy director who makes movies for critics. When a movie does $580 million worldwide, I’m not saying that proves anything except people were enjoying the experience Picture Quote #1
I think comedy directors tend to feel a need to justify the bad behavior, and I just never think that. I like bad behavior, I’ve always liked bad behavior, I’m a fan of bad behavior, and I don’t think you have to justify bad behavior Picture Quote #1
Music is just one of the tools a director has with which to paint and I think it’s one of the most effective Picture Quote #1
I take it very seriously, music. I think it’s one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue Picture Quote #1
