Film Quotes
-
I basically just make films that interest me. And I don't want to make the same film twice, you know? But I've never found a franchise, so... I guess I'm lot poorer because of that, but... what astonishes me is that, at my age, I can still find things that interest me. And that's tremendous.
Stephen Frears
-
The difference between film and TV, for me, is just that huge thing of knowing that there's a script that is not going to change and you can go really deep into that. With TV, you're just constantly on a high-wire, making sure you don't fall.
Seth Gabel
-
Because of the incredible reputation I have, people find me exciting to watch on film.
Sean Young

Whether it's making a film or raising my children, personally I'm striving to do the right things and to learn.
Tom Cruise

The main problem is that the Hollywood system has already made the film before the director shoots a single frame.
Mike Leigh

Film is new for me so I'm so fascinated by it and love it, but I would pass out if I could never do theater again. I'd be physically ill!
Nina Arianda
-
I got into film in an odd way - when I was 17 years old I participated in a Swedish film as an actor. I think every person at that age should get a role in a film, because during that time you want acceptance, and when you have a role in a film you become an important person. I think about that now, and that was my fantastic starting point.
Hannes Holm
-
To do it on film, where it'll be seen by more people than have seen the play since it was written, it humbles you.
Stephen Henderson
-
You can ask yourself, if a film makes a claim, is the claim true or false? Having said that, a style of presenting material doesn't guarantee truth. There's this crazy idea that somehow you pick a style, and by virtue of picking the style, you've provided something that is more truthful. It's as if you imagine that changing the font on a sentence you write makes it more truthful.
Errol Morris
-
If I wasn't an actor and I watched my films, I could easily be like 'This guy's a clown,' you know?
Sean William Scott
-
I wanted to be a film student again, as a man in my 60s. To go someplace alone and see what you can cook up, with non-existent budgets. I didn’t want to be surrounded by comforts and colleagues, which you have when you’re a big time director. I wanted to write personal works.
Francis Ford Coppola
-
You should love literature. You should live in the library. Forget about films.
Ray Bradbury
-
In film, it's up to the director to tell the story in whatever way he sees fit, and however you fit into that ultimate vision is where you fit in. So what you did on that stage, on that set, may not be what you ultimately see when you see the final product. And TV works so fast, it works so fast, it's just about product. The average TV show, one episode shoots eight, 10 days. That's it. You get three or four takes for a scene, and then it's over. But people do it for the money.
Viola Davis
-
Altman was told they wouldn't do the film with me. He could easily have abandoned me, but he stood by me and really bailed me out.
Tim Robbins
