I don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.
~By Kristen Stewart ~
Movies are immortal art - the first new art since Greek drama.
~By Eric Johnston ~
I haven't seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it - see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes.
~By Lawrence Kasdan ~
The movies I made when I was 14 or 15, I have a hard time looking at those. Those were the awkward years. I don't know if anybody can look at something they did when they were 14 and not wince.
~By Jodie Foster ~
I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.
~By Jodie Foster ~
Frankly, I got into the movies because I like the movies a lot.
~By Jack Nicholson ~
There are many kinds of movies in Hong Kong. Some are commercial and others are more artistic.
~By Andy Lau ~
A lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in good movies.
~By Michael Douglas ~
I act probably a lot more than you see. I happen to choose movies that don't have much of a life, or I choose movies that are shown on cable instead of as features.
~By Holly Hunter ~
Well, I think one of the main things that you have to think about when acting in the movies is to try not to make the acting show.
~By James Stewart ~
It's really hard to find good movies, and that's pretty much what I try to find, good movies.
~By Edward Furlong ~
As you grow up and get educated in the business, you go from, 'I want to do movies' to 'I want to work. In whatever.'
~By Felicity Huffman ~
I get a lot from all young people. I make movies for young people. If I made pictures for people my age, no one would see them. I hang with young people all the time.
~By Robert Evans ~
The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?
~By Orlando Bloom ~
Where I live, nobody who's fourteen is having sex and doing major drugs. And I think if you see it in the movies, you may be influenced by it. I think it's so important to preserve your innocence.
~By Natalie Portman ~
I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.
~By Sting ~
I'm basically a movie actor now, and my big roles are mostly horror movies - unless I'm doing a guest star or something - and occasionally I try to get back into television.
~By Robert Englund ~
The great thing about movies is that they're collaborative. And the worst thing is that they're collaborative.
~By Jeffrey Wright ~
Well, I'm a consumer as well. I go to the movies with my popcorn and believe everything I see.
~By Kelly Lynch ~
I enjoy about 1 out of 100 movies, it's about the same proportion to books published that I care to read.
~By Jim Harrison ~
I aspire to eventually be making my living by making movies.
~By Richard King ~
It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.
~By John Cusack ~
I want to be like Tom Cruise from The Outsiders and go on and do amazing movies for a long time.
~By Ashton Kutcher ~
You know how many movies it took Tom Cruise before he was making 5, 6 million dollars? It probably took a billion dollars in box office.
~By Jason Patric ~
I met the Colonel when Elvis was recording some song I'd written for one of his movies. Elvis was just having fun with the gang and all the Memphis boys and Colonel Parker was sitting over here in like a theater seat.
~By Mac Davis ~
And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late '60s and '70s, which is my favorite time, and we studied their camera movements, their stocks, the way they lit stuff, the colors they used.
~By Ted Demme ~
When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet. When the French make movies, they aim at Paris.
~By Jean-Jacques Annaud ~
I love huge movies. Not sure I am the guy to make them, but you can rely on me being there watching them.
~By Danny Boyle ~
The way I create music is maybe like a painting, to compose in a more visual way. Basically it's the music that I want to hear- that's my inspiration and bottom line. I just try to get ideas from books, movies, paintings.
~By Ikue Mori ~
I stopped making movies because I don't like taking my clothes off. Maybe it's realism, but in my opinion, it's utter filth.
~By Debbie Reynolds ~
I mean, the whole idea of movies was it was special to go to see - you went to a movie theater to see something that was magical and amazing, in a very special location.
~By Bob Balaban ~
I recently found out about this other super movie star. He only works from about 11:00 to 4:00, so all his movies take like 120 days. But this was a lot of stuff to do in 35 days.
~By Dana Carvey ~
I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that.
~By Brion James ~
Toward the end of school I started watching movies. Got a job in a movie theater in Brookline, Massachusetts.
~By Jim McKay ~
I've made 122 movies, and I daresay there's a picture of mine showing somewhere in the world every day.
~By Tony Curtis ~
I had an obsession that I was male characters from movies.
~By Illeana Douglas ~
There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies.
~By Sean Penn ~
For the past few years, I was the more visible Asian performer, and I think it gave young girls a kind of role model showing it's possible to actually reach success doing movies.
~By Joan Chen ~
We are the movies and the movies are us.
~By David Ansen ~
I'm hard-pressed to think of a lot of great rock movies.
~By Paul Westerberg ~
My partner, Beth Alexander, and I want to produce smaller films, but commercially viable films that will enable me to make the kinds of movies I want to make.
~By Stanley Tucci ~
I love animals and I love to see movies with animals that are done respectfully, you know?
~By Kristin Davis ~
Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.
~By Nicolas Roeg ~
I'm not looking to get away from anything. I like what I've done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible.
~By Adam Sandler ~
It's something that was very interesting to me to be a part of and all of them again because of the relationship. Some of the superhero movies are better than others.
~By Blair Underwood ~
I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It's wonderful, isn't it?
~By Christian Bale ~
The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.
~By Jason Statham ~
And in movies you must be a gambler. To produce films is to gamble.
~By Douglas Sirk ~
I miss my Dad. My Dad loved cheesy monster movies, so we'd have Godzilla movie marathons. Those are some of my favorite memories, laughing at how the monster outfits were so bad, like black garbage bags for heads.
~By Ahmet Zappa ~
Well, look at all of these summer blockbusters. You can't help but laugh a little, because you've already seen a lot of these movies 482 times.
~By Sean Penn ~
Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.
~By Ivan Reitman ~
I guess The Grudge made over $100 million, but none of them had long legs after they came out but they all opened up and found an audience. If you could make those movies for a price, which is what I want to do with Spawn, then you could have some success.
~By Todd McFarlane ~
We knew all along we were making a good show, so its success was not a surprise to me. What has surprised me is the magnitude of this show's success. More people see me now in one episode than saw me in 20 years of movies and theater!
~By William Petersen ~
One of the reasons to do documentaries is that. There's more sense of creating something, more sense of my own soul in the documentaries than in movies, because I don't write the movies I do.
~By Michael Apted ~
I don't know if she should worry too much, I mean some of our greatest writers have had movies made of their books, lots of Hemingway novels were turned into movies, it doesn't hurt the book.
~By Paul Auster ~
I'm not really into movies on dates because you can't chat it up.
~By Taryn Manning ~
They allow us to disrespect our Black woman. A lot of these things would be considered criminal if it were to be carried out in the streets. That's like when they tell you after you buy your VHS and you rent movies they tell you not to copy the movies.
~By Afrika Bambaataa ~
Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.
~By Uwe Boll ~
Two days ago, I was killed in LA. CNN reported that. What if my grandmother had seen that and had a heart attack? People talk about lyrical content. There is no media responsibility. Movies, the porn industry, it has to be across the board or it's ineffective.
~By Curtis Jackson ~
I like movies that make you think.
~By Robin Wright Penn ~
There are a lot of movies made for nobody.
~By Stan Brakhage ~
You know, I find it very strange when movies that I made that were just excoriated - I mean that I was just vilified for - are now looked at as classics.
~By John Milius ~
I'm not saying it isn't frustrating that my films haven't gotten a bigger release, but I'm really happy with them and if you just keep cranking and eventually, if you have a certain sensibility, some of your movies will hit and some just won't.
~By Alex Winter ~
For 15 years I did two to three movies a year, sometimes four. I didn't get to spend time building my personal life.
~By Steve Guttenberg ~
Why movies are so powerful is because you are right in there and you stay in there until they want you to come out, and then you've really gone somewhere.
~By Rachel Griffiths ~
Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?
~By Kate Hudson ~
You know, I think when people fly the nest a little too soon, as far as getting involved in movies, anything beyond the music can make it suffer, I just want to make sure that I'm not that guy.
~By Bubba Sparxxx ~
Since Star Wars, that film's success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles.
~By Faye Dunaway ~
With movies, you are always in search is a good story, one that everyone will relate to and love. I love finding those stories and creating a visual world to tell the story.
~By Don Bluth ~
I like movies that challenge people to recognize different things.
~By Casper Van Dien ~
Yes, I'm going to be the President of the United States. You know why? You think you can get chicks by being in the movies? You can really get chicks by being the President.
~By Ben Affleck ~
Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I'm not always happy with that.
~By Aaron Eckhart ~
It's true, I did a lot of great movies, and I'm happy. It was what it was, and now I think all of that has fed into where I am now, and I think it has taught me a lot.
~By Faye Dunaway ~
When I was a boy, I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream.
~By Elvis Presley ~
I loved "Clueless." That was one of my favorite movies of all time.
~By Amanda Bynes ~
My kids are old enough now that they can watch that, but I like to do the family movies.
~By Elizabeth Perkins ~
When we did the pilot, I sort of pictured this guy pirating a signal and then this story unfolding of him building this satellite and these robots and watching these bad movies.
~By Joel Hodgson ~
Movie SF is, by definition, dumbed down - there have only been three or four SF movies in the history of film that aspire to the complexity of literary SF.
~By Dan Simmons ~
Just in the past few years - since I've been making movies, which isn't a very long time - you now have a culture that is fascinated and informed about the box office in a way that sometimes filmmakers weren't even.
~By Neil LaBute ~
On planes I always cry. Something about altitude, the lack of oxygen and the bad movies. I cried over a St. Bernard movie once on a plane. That was really embarrassing.
~By Michael Stipe ~
I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.
~By Rachel Griffiths ~
And then after a while he got me a job at the video store next door. I used to lock up the store and go next door and hang out all the time and watch movies and stuff.
~By Jason Mewes ~
Of course, the whole Andy Kaufman angle was classic. I'm real proud of that. I mean that is something people are still talking about 20 years later, making movies about and that sort of thing. I mean not a day goes by that someone doesn't mention Andy Kaufman to me.
~By Jerry Lawler ~
And the VCR did the same thing: the movie industry thought nobody would ever watch movies any more.
~By Niklas Zennstrom ~
Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.
~By Elvis Presley ~
That's the other thing about working on movies, the commitment is years. That's one thing that's so frustrating about the process is that it goes on and on and on for years.
~By Thomas Lennon ~
I praise CBS for taking a risk, which is always the price you pay for opportunity. This is not standard movie of the week storytelling. I think movies of the week have fallen into a niche and that isn't my niche.
~By Tom Selleck ~
I'm also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I'm doing it.
~By Lynn Redgrave ~
Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.
~By Juliette Binoche ~
I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.
~By Christopher Walken ~
I'd love to do a Western. A real Western like John Ford used to do. There's not too many of them made, so I don't know if I'll ever get to do that. They're awfully hard movies to make.
~By Dennis Farina ~
The first time Adrian saw me was on tape. But you should know that this never works - never in the history of movies has someone been cast from a video.
~By Olivier Martinez ~
Of course for many years directors have had to go on the road with their movies and promote them and I've done that since the beginning. So that's not new but the forms of it are different such as with the internet.
~By David Cronenberg ~
So I got caught up in the same wave as everybody else and went right out to Hollywood, to make movies.
~By Kitty Carlisle ~
If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
~By Halle Berry ~
We've always loved going to the movies. Our mom and dad are big movie fans. They'd take us on these movie orgys where we'd see sometimes three movies in a day.
~By Andy Wachowski ~
People just want to watch movies that are entertaining, it doesn't matter what genre it is.
~By Matthew Vaughn ~
Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.
~By Robin Tunney ~
I feel I want to grow as an actress and be better. I want to progress as a singer and songwriter, and produce movies and everything. So there'll be no time when I feel I've done it all.
~By Jennifer Lopez ~
I think we grew up thinking that the funniest things on TV were the old, serious movies. I always liked the Marx Brothers, but the thing that always made us laugh were movies like Zero Hour. That's what inspired us.
~By David Zucker ~
