I can't just sit around and do nothing. Although, I can sit on the couch sometimes and just watch movies.
~By Brian Austin Green ~
Some of the best roles are for women in these independent, smaller movies.
~By Kyra Sedgwick ~
For the most part, studio movies have huge budgets. They don't do anything under 30 to 40 million. When you have that much money at stake, you have so many people breathing down your neck.
~By Penelope Spheeris ~
I made a decision back in 1978 that, in a trade off for money when I directed Halloween, I would have my name above the title in order to basically brand these movies my own.
~By John Carpenter ~
That's a little homage in a way to that and also to create that sort of creepy atmosphere that Hitchcock did. Vertigo was one of his great movies that was shot right here in The City and it's about a woman and the psychological twists and so forth.
~By Philip Kaufman ~
Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.
~By Roland Emmerich ~
The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don't even mention the product until the very end. You don't really know what the commercial is all about. They're kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that's why I think they're so entertaining.
~By Kevin Nealon ~
I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants.
~By Catherine Deneuve ~

~By Cameron Crowe ~
The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
~By Fisher Stevens ~

~By Quentin Tarantino ~
There's no way I'm going to put this kid in the movies, because of the rejection. It's so hard as an adult, so why set her up to feel that bad as a child?
~By Rosanna Arquette ~
One of the problems I have with a lot of movies these days is that everything is too well lit. In the world of digital creations there is a tendency to show too much.
~By Bill Sienkiewicz ~
In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys, games, and a radio show - that was before TV - and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it's all come true.
~By Joe Shuster ~

The movies I'm in not a lot of people see, but it's alright.

~By Richard Attenborough ~
The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art, and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business.
~By Charlton Heston ~
I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.
~By Angela Lansbury ~

~By Renny Harlin ~

~By Stephen Dorff ~

~By Faye Dunaway ~
I got to do a whole slew of TV movies playing the bad guy, including an episode of Smallville. That would never have happened if I hadn't done the Stand.
~By Corin Nemec ~
But then I go through long periods where I don't listen to things, usually when I'm working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find.
~By Bruce Springsteen ~
I hate horror movies.
~By Melissa Auf der Maur ~
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 ~
It's funny, like 15 years ago when I was a kid doing all the John Hughes movies, I remember Bruce Willis was the only guy who was transitioning from television into film.
~By Anthony Michael Hall ~
When I think of the definition of cool and when I look at people, John Travolta is really the definition of cool because, not only is he great in all his movies, but, as a person, he's just really cool.

Most people would rather stay home and watch Casablanca for the fourth time or the 10th time on Turner Classic Movies than go see Matrix 12 or whatever the hell the flavor of the month is.
~By Joseph Bologna ~
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 ~
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.

I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.
~By Ryan Phillippe ~
Oh absolutely. I had the pleasure to get to know a lot of really talented young actors before they even really hit it big. And yet what we all had and shared in common was a love for movies.
~By Chad Lowe ~
I know that in order to be considered successful, you're supposed to do two or three movies a year. I only work once every year-and-a-half, sometimes two years. I have children to raise.
~By Meg Tilly ~
I'm now beginning to feel that the pessimistic vision is not for the movies.

~By Eddie Murphy ~
I make movies I want to see.
~By Neil LaBute ~
American movies and music deliver themes of freedom, innocence, and power that appeal to others - partly because America itself was put together out of a multiplicity of national traditions.

~By Alexander Payne ~
I've always loved movies, art and clothes.
~By Colleen Atwood ~
Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
~By Charlie Chaplin ~

~By Margot Kidder ~
If I did any movies I'd have to take a break from singing, because I'd want it to be really good.
~By Justin Timberlake ~
One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.
~By Oliver Stone ~
I always wanted to get into the horror genre. I like scary movies. I want to go to the fan shows and sign posters with my head hanging by a thread like a B-movie actress.
~By Illeana Douglas ~
There are movies where we are interested in seeing people's lives without agreeing with what they're doing.
~By Natalie Portman ~
And I discovered after a couple years that I really didn't miss making movies.
~By Rick Moranis ~
I don't think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself.
~By Omar Sharif ~
I grew up with the classics. My mom and I would sit and watch "Singin' in the Rain" and "White Christmas" - those kind of movies.
~By Lucas Grabeel ~
I don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.
~By Robert De Niro ~

~By Paul Mazursky ~
I think what Hollywood has done for so long, is make movies for themselves.
~By David Hunt ~
I'm quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I've been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.
~By Winona Ryder ~
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 ~
But I like to go to movies with my son because it's still fun; it reminds me of why I make movies.
~By Antoine Fuqua ~
We all do that thing which is the best in movies - we relate.
~By Kurt Russell ~
Basically, there's not enough sex in movies, that's it. I'm trying to say it, people. I miss sex in movies because sex is natural, guns are not.
~By Zoe Saldana ~
When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go; they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV.
~By Christopher Walken ~
I'm also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I'm doing it.
~By Lynn Redgrave ~

~By Catherine Keener ~
I worked very hard on those movies but there was some creative connection that wasn't being made.
~By Michael J. Fox ~
But I don't think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeare's Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame.
~By Julie Taymor ~
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 ~
But he did say that the character would be on the sidelines in movies One and Two, and move into the middle with number Three, but I didn't realize he would move in with quite such a bang.
~By Ian McDiarmid ~
My passion is doing movies, so as long as I keep doing that I will be happy.
~By Vanessa Hudgens ~
I'm less comfortable making American movies because I don't know them so well.
~By Neil Jordan ~
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 ~
I knew I was a good stage actor but I had no idea about movies. And I wasn't a Paul Newman type of guy. That's why I thought the stage is just right for me.
~By Ed O'Neill ~
The movies I've made at a certain time of my life were exactly right for the stage of my life, the frame of mind I was in at the time. Each character I've had to play has been me in that time in my life.
~By Christian Slater ~
I would love to do a big studio movie, just because they're going to put the money into distributing it. A lot of times you do these little movies, you love them and they never get seen by anyone.
~By Gina Gershon ~
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
~By Laura Dern ~
It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.
~By Jason Statham ~
Well, I'm a consumer as well. I go to the movies with my popcorn and believe everything I see.
~By Kelly Lynch ~
I love doing big movies. It's awesome! You have all these toys. The thing I like about this movie is, like they always say, directors have the biggest train sets! Don't tell anyone, but I'd do this for free.
~By Michael Bay ~
I know people watch our movies and they'll see a lot of images - they call it gross-out - that they don't like, and I understand that. It's an important movie and one that's extremely well done, but the amount of violent imagery was not for me.
~By Bobby Farrelly ~
