Watching Quotes

I was flipping channels, watching this cheerleading program on MTV. They took a field hockey girl and transformed her into a cheerleader by the end of the show. I was just wondering: what if she liked field hockey better~? Picture Quote #1

That to me is what my idea of film acting should be. There shouldn’t be any acting. You should just be watching a real person Picture Quote #1

I would love to be able to do a film. I would love to be able to focus on what excites me in watching actors Picture Quote #1

I have been portrayed by actors in three television documentaries, two plays, one musical and a film. It’s no fun watching yourself being traduced and imitated by an actor Picture Quote #1

Watching young Afghan skaters in the film ‘Skateistan’ made me realize why I’ve spent my entire life as a skateboarder Picture Quote #1

I really started watching films when I was 14. As I became a teenager, there was nothing that really interested me apart from music, books and films Picture Quote #1

In opera, everyone’s watching from a fixed viewpoint, and that really challenges you. Lighting, the sets, stage groupings, the music-but doesn’t relate too much to film Picture Quote #1

With anything, and especially with the pallet of viewers in watching anything on TV and film, you have to entertain them Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to be surprised by a film. It’s hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when you’ve seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that I’m watching someone’s movie, or when I don’t know how someone made a certain turn that I didn’t expect . . . You know, I’m in Picture Quote #1

One of the earliest memories I have of feeling the power of film music was watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That was a really clear epiphany for me, when I realized that each film has its own music, and that there was someone out there who wrote this very specific music for just this one film Picture Quote #1

I do think the challenge, in a way for me, is to write a narrative film and when you finish watching it you feel like it’s a collage. You tell the narrative, you tell the story, but you feel like you’ve created this tapestry. But it also has a shape, a story Picture Quote #1

I don’t particularly enjoy watching films in 3D because I think that a well-shot and well-projected film has a very three-dimensional quality to it, so I’m somewhat sceptical of the technology Picture Quote #1

The fabulous side of Taboo was dressing up and dancing like no one was watching you. There were no rules. You had Jeffrey Hinton playing every kind of music. It was like going back to when I used to deejay at Planet in 79, where you’d mix in nutty things like hip-hop or reggae or The Sound of Music [1965] or other film soundtracks - whatever Picture Quote #1

I never imagined I would be in a film with Steve Martin. I was a little star struck, because I grew up watching his movies Picture Quote #1

I’ve written films that are violent. I’m not big on sitting and watching violence Picture Quote #1

Yes, sir, I was in the processing room watching them actually process the film Picture Quote #1

The collective experience of watching a great film together in a room is a transcendent moment that will never die Picture Quote #1

In a film, if you can capture what’s going on underneath, you can begin to make a connection between the character and the people watching it Picture Quote #1

I’m always watching films. The Academy pretty much sends me every film that’s ever been done. I enjoy watching them, especially with the people I know Picture Quote #1

Watching my own past heartache and experience day after day - it was gut-wrenching, cathartic, beautiful, and painful. That and shooting the film in less than a month Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a pretty clichÃƒÂ© actor in that I hate watching myself on film. I don’t know why it should be humbling to see yourself on film Picture Quote #1

Films don’t hold the answers I’m looking for... Would you not be so much more interested in finding out that Bigfoot existed than in watching a really good movie? Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do well on a big weekend with people watching and cheering, of course. But it’s not fair to create an expectation level before I know what is realistic. I want to finish as well as possible. Is that top 20? Top 15? Top 25? You just have to play it by ear Picture Quote #1

I liked watching myself on TV. My first job was hosting the ‘Roommate Game’ Picture Quote #1

I want to plug back into the hip-hop audience. Whether it be fans who grew up watching ‘Yo!’, or people who have become familiar with the culture via the Internet Picture Quote #1

I remember as a kid having a balloon and accidentally letting the string go and watching it just float off and into the sky until it disappeared. And there’s something about that, even, that feels very much like what life is, you know, that it’s fleeting, and it’s temporal Picture Quote #1

Yeah, right. Instead of watching TV, we’ll practice our weird magical powers. Great. What’s next? Zooming around on flying carpets? Picture Quote #1
