We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society, too.
~By Roger Ebert ~
What's really frustrating with movies is the lack of improvement.

~By Jennifer Lopez ~
Movies have influenced all writers, not just thriller writers.
~By Ken Follett ~
Too much TV hurts movies.

I read and watch movies. I can't go to the movie theater much anymore, though, because I get recognized. It's worse sometimes if I wear a costume and try not to get recognized. I watch most of my films on airplanes.

~By Jason Dohring ~
We need to see men and women as equal partners, but it's hard to think of movies that do that. When I talk to people, they think of movies of forty-five years ago! Hepburn and Tracy!
~By Betty Friedan ~
When my friends and I would act out movies as kids, we'd play the guys' roles, since they had the most interesting things to do. Decades later, I can hardly believe my sons and daughter are seeing many of the same limited choices in current films.

I loved being behind the scenes and finding out how they make movies.

~By Ben Stiller ~
I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.
~By Kristen Stewart ~
I didn't see Dr. No for a year, but I liked it when I saw it. It was a fun movie. I don't like the Bond movies now. I hate special effects.
~By Ursula Andress ~
Summer movies are spectacles; that's what you pay 10 dollars to see. You want to get teased by effects sometimes. I think that will never stop.

~By Trevor Rabin ~
My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.
~By Will Smith ~
But I've found that to talk too much about movies is the kiss of death. If it happens then it happens, is all.
~By Brian Lumley ~

~By Mary McCarthy ~
No sooner than I did take it seriously, I had million-selling hits and movies with John Wayne.
~By Frankie Avalon ~

One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake.

~By Gabrielle Reece ~
Many other movies, but for me The Professionals is the best I did in Hollywood.
~By Claudia Cardinale ~
I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I've taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money.
~By Michael Gambon ~
In live action movies, you just hope that everything works. Because the actor may had a bad morning and doesn't play good, or accidents happen continuously. Many things contradict what you are trying to say. But in cartoons, nothing contradict what you want to say.

~By Robert De Niro ~
I see the tool set being the same and maybe doing virtual movies and that's fine for some stories but not for others. And maybe make all CG movies but they are already doing it.
~By Dennis Muren ~
I understand it all. I can write my own ticket for one or two movies. But if they're not the right ones, my ticket gets yanked. I understand that's how it works, and I'm okay with it.
