Film Quotes
-
I did not go into the film business to be symbolized as someone else's vision of me.
Sidney Poitier
-
I just filmed a movie with my boyfriend, an indie film called 'Conception.' And it's kind of like an R-rated version of 'Valentine's Day.' So it's like all about eight couples, and me and my boyfriend play one of them together. And that was a lot of fun.
Sarah Hyland
-
I'm ready for all forms of dialogue about the film The Conquest. There will be a lot of political talk, but I don't think the film itself will be scandalous. For the French, there are so many emotions relating to Sarkozy and politicians in general that I think the film will generate a lot of passion, whether it be negative or positive. Above all, it's a fictional film. It was important not to make a documentary and to really pay attention to the images. From the choice of the actors to the mise en scene, the film is completely cinematographic. It's not just a boring political movie.
Xavier Durringer
-
I prefer film and that's what I think I'm gonna put my focus on.
Sasha Alexander

Sometimes the best set experiences make for the worst films. So, you don't want it to be too good an experience! But the bulk of your life is working with people and collaborating so you don't want anyone to be miserable on your film either. You want it to be something that people walk away from saying that it was a good experience for them and hopefully a good film. As a director, you are sort of leader of that troupe for that period of time, so you're aware of morale and your effect - how you are as a person and how that sort of trickles down to everyone else.
Cary Fukunaga
-
Film writing and concert writing are two very different things. In film writing I am serving the film and it tells you what to write. I have to stay within the parameters of the film. In writing concert music for the stage I can write anything I want and in this day and modern age rules can be broken.
Aaron Zigman
-
I used to follow celebrities, and I remember I watched Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt shooting for 'Sadak'. I was standing on the road at three in the night, but little did I know that I would be making a film with Sanjay at some point in my career.
Boman Irani
-
New York is a character, all on its own, and whenever you film there, it becomes part of the show. That's just the nature of being there.
Hunter Parrish
-
I make a film like I cook for friends. I hope they like it, but if they don't, I'm prepared to enjoy it all by myself.
Melvin Van Peebles
-
When I was younger and in primary school, I'd do maybe a film a year, and I had to adapt to being away from everyone for a couple of months.
Saoirse Ronan
-
I've done a lot of Samurai film in Japan, and sometimes done the choreography by myself.
Hiroyuki Sanada

I'll do at least one action film every year because of my fans. This is my promise to them.
Akshay Kumar
-
I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.
Sean Lennon
-
It's only happened to me once crying in the end of the film - the end of Forrest Gump. I think it's sad because the moral of the film is that you can have no brain whatsoever and still make it in this world. That made me terribly depressed.
Aron Flam
-
It Hancock happens to be a big budget film and big star like Will Smith, but it actually has a lot of weight to it. But it was very smart and very intelligent and had this kind of historical element to it that I was fascinated by. It's not silly. It's not stupid. It's fun, but I think it's smart. I think Akiva Goldsman writes really interesting material and there you have it.
Charlize Theron
-
I do find violence entertaining, but that doesn't make me a bad person. I grew up watching all these action films when I was a kid. My dad would bring back 'Rambo' and whatever, and we'd watch it together. It's not affected me in any way other than I just appreciate the entertainment value of violence on film.
Scott Adkins
-
"I got used to it quickly, because it's an easier job than what I was doing. I was making four or five films a year, mostly independent films, around the world. Out of the 41 films I've done, maybe seven of them have been studio films, I had an easy gig. So I would go from film to film. And there would be a new crew, new actors, new directors, new producers, new locations, some much worse than others. I'm not complaining about the work; I'm just saying that having a nice trailer on the set, a nice hotel, and a studio and a network behind your show is a lot easier than wondering why your tent is leaking.
Jeff Fahey

There are films that I've made that I like a little bit more than the others. But the films that I mostly watch, and see over and over again, are not my own.
William Friedkin
