No, I like today's cinema a lot. But I've spent so many decades only making movies. There's so much that I still want to do. Like, live. It's only up to me.
~By Jean-Louis Trintignant ~
My father in the film - which we probably haven't seen in previous movies, and in British Asian movies you could probably count on one hand - he says exactly why, actually why he's frightened for his daughter. He came to this country, England, and had a bit of a crappy time.
~By Parminder Nagra ~
There's too many people in seats of power who just haven't got a clue what they're doing. They're bean counters, and it just pisses me off because consequently our kids go to see crap movies.
~By Pierce Brosnan ~
You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.
~By John Malkovich ~
I think grown-ups don't go to movies because they're much more discerning.
~By Joseph Bologna ~

Billions of people have seen and been influenced by movies in the short history of this industry.
~By Conrad Hall ~
I rarely see one of the 'summer blockbuster' movies. I'd like to see a stronger focus on smaller, smarter movies.
~By Christopher Meloni ~
I wanted to make a movie, because the whole life of the movies appealed to me. You work hard for three or four months, then you don't work at all for a couple of months.
~By Gregory Hines ~
The guy that made me wanna make movies... and this is off the wall-is a guy named Michael Pal, the British director.
~By George A. Romero ~

~By Jean-Jacques Annaud ~
I think it would be fun to write about movies again.
~By Bill Condon ~
And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.
~By Thomas Haden Church ~
I thought I understood the story very well, because I've lived with it for so long. But movies change and take on a life of their own once they start to be made, and you have to keep your eye on the real ball, not the ball that's in your head.
~By Andrew McCarthy ~
I think as long as there are folks on the fringe who want to make movies, the indie scene will still be around. I do think it's getting harder to get them seen though.
~By Joshua Leonard ~
Television studios bet the farm on reality shows, where they didn't need any actors and movie studios had no plans for any quality movies that required the presence of me.
~By Alfre Woodard ~
Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.
~By Uwe Boll ~
I want to do movies but not talk about them.
~By Nastassja Kinski ~

~By Robert Rodriguez ~
Obviously, CGI in the last ten years has gone through such leaps and bounds that today, people are looking for these kinds of movies to wow audiences with technology.
~By Avi Arad ~
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 ~
It's my motor, it's the thing that keeps me going and so when I have these auditions for these big movies, I can depend on myself because I've been working consistently.
~By Nia Long ~
In the 1950s we use to feel that television was taking away our comic readership; with today's exciting, powerfully visual movies I have to wonder about their effect on the kids' loyalty to the comic book medium all over again.
~By Joe Simon ~
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 don't really care where movies come from as long as they're worth making.
~By Javier Bardem ~
So I got caught up in the same wave as everybody else and went right out to Hollywood, to make movies.
~By Kitty Carlisle ~
My passion is doing movies, so as long as I keep doing that I will be happy.
~By Vanessa Hudgens ~
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.

I've signed on for four movies, and I'll do four. That's easy. No complications there.
~By Robbie Coltrane ~
So Liam and movies are obviously big passions, and I read and write.
~By Faye Dunaway ~
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 ~
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 ~
Being a kid growing up with Kurosawa films and watching Sergio Leone movies just made me love what it could do to you, and how it could influence you - make you dream.
~By Antoine Fuqua ~
The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.
~By Bette Davis ~
In the movies, Bette Davis lights two cigarettes and hands the second one to James Cagney. It was just so glamorous and romantic.
~By Loni Anderson ~
Well, it was actually - I brought the idea of doing a documentary to HBO back in 2000, when there were some press reports sort of were bandied about that there were going to TV movies based on some of the books that were out.
~By Monica Lewinsky ~
I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.
~By Shirley MacLaine ~
We didn't have movies in this little mining town. When I was 12 my mom took me to New York and I saw Bye Bye Birdie, with people singing and dancing, and that was it.
~By Margot Kidder ~
There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.
~By Kevin Costner ~
I don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.

~By Pauline Kael ~
I don't take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache.
~By Bette Davis ~
I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He's a very talented director.
~By Famke Janssen ~
When we shoot 24, there are so many things I have to worry about, from the script to technical things to my performance, that I don't have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season, which is like making 12 movies.
~By Kiefer Sutherland ~
I think that my vampires in general were influenced by my being allowed to watch the Hammer vampire films. Vampire Circus, also shown as Circus of Fear, was one of those movies.
~By Laurell K. Hamilton ~
And if real life was like the movies, I should have lived happily ever after.
~By Piper Laurie ~

~By Gary Oldman ~
Child actors come off as work being their life and doing it 24/7, but I still have those days where it's totally, like, whatever: shopping, movies, adventures.
~By Hailee Steinfeld ~
I like to look at the songs like they're little movies.
~By Brad Paisley ~

~By Patti Page ~
And I believe that you never be limited in what you do, so I like to do movies, I like to do television.
~By Harvey Fierstein ~
It's only in relatively recent years that Hollywood became the playground of multinational corporations which regard movies and TV shows as a minor irritant to their overall activity.
~By Peter Bart ~
I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.
~By Leonardo DiCaprio ~
I've been watching so many movies and they all have to do with the DVDs. It's just so much more convenient.
~By Shiri Appleby ~
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 ~
One of my favorite things about doing movies is that you get to do different things you'd never do in real life.
~By Dakota Fanning ~
What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.
~By Jill Clayburgh ~
I like to play guitar, jam out, play the blues, go watch movies. I love movies.
~By Dane Cook ~
They are always very lax about putting restrictions on violence for children's movies, which I think is much more harrowing than sexuality for children.
~By Philip Kaufman ~
Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?
~By Kate Hudson ~
Actually, I look the same in real life as I do in the movies.
~By Andy Lau ~
My sense is, I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.
~By Ivan Reitman ~
The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.
~By Elvis Presley ~
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
~By Brad Bird ~
Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.
~By Nicolas Roeg ~
I wanted to write something from a child's viewpoint... Five of the characters I have played in movies have either been abused or became abusers, themselves, and I just kind of felt like there was a need.
~By Meg Tilly ~
We felt like we had done as much as you can do with the slasher genre. We were trying to find the next group of scary movies that were ripe for parody.
~By Keenen Ivory Wayans ~
If you lived in a provincial town like Torre Annunziata, where there was nothing to do in the evening but go to the movies with your friends, the cinema was a world of fantasy. I had always been in love with it.
~By Dino De Laurentiis ~
Most movies are made today for teenage boys. Once in a while a good one comes along.
~By Richard Widmark ~
I think I've done pretty well. I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards, so I don't have any complaints.
~By Norman Jewison ~
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 ~
I don't control the movies that are offered to me, but I make choices based on certain parameters.
~By Andy Garcia ~
If military movies were automatically successful we'd make nothing but military movies. But seriously, patriotism is one thing that all Americans have in common.

It goes back to a style of moviemaking I remember seeing as a child, in movies like The Man With The Golden Arm, which I think was shot all on a sound stage.
~By Debbie Allen ~
One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake.
~By Takeshi Kitano ~
My agent said, 'You aren't good enough for movies.' I said, 'You're fired.'
~By Sally Field ~
For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.
~By Casey Kasum ~
I was born in New Orleans, and I wasn't allowed to go to the movies.
~By Kitty Carlisle ~
I don't want to imitate life in movies; I want to represent it. And in that representation, you use the colors you feel, and sometimes they are fake colors. But always it's to show one emotion.
~By Pedro Almodovar ~
There are a lot of movies that inspire me to do what I do.
~By Jerry Bruckheimer ~
But then, even with sex, I'm more in the school of less is more in movies.
~By Aaron Eckhart ~
My dream remains to inform and entertain through fiction in the form of novels and movies that compete in the marketplace of ideas.
~By Jerry B. Jenkins ~
It wasn't until I saw James Dean that I began to think that maybe I could actually do this. Movies didn't have to be just this fantasy with this impossibly handsome guy.
~By Terence Stamp ~
From now on, I approach the cinema as a business woman. I intend to be in more action movies because, apart from Angelina Jolie, no other actress stands out in this genre.
~By Milla Jovovich ~
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 ~

~By Alexander Payne ~

~By Meryl Streep ~
My kids are old enough now that they can watch that, but I like to do the family movies.
~By Elizabeth Perkins ~
George Raft may or may not have gone both ways, but he was very sensitive to what they said about him, and it was one factor why he decided to play all those gangsters in the movies.
~By Cesar Romero ~
You start making movies and people start seeing when you go to places, and all of a sudden you are getting clothes for free and all of a sudden you are getting food for free.
~By Morris Chestnut ~
The immense popularity of American movies abroad demonstrates that Europe is the unfinished negative of which America is the proof.
~By Mary McCarthy ~
It seems that the small movies are a little more risky and cutting-edge. You've got your big commerce and you've got your small films that you're more passionate about.
~By Robert Patrick ~
I discovered the 7th art at home when I was kid, through Charlie Chaplin's movies and those of my father who shot documentaries. He was my biggest influence. So I took his camera and started shooting.
~By Lasse Hallstrom ~
I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.
~By Laura Dern ~
There's not a lot of good movies being made.
~By Sean Penn ~
