Film Quotes
-
A film can be big or small - I have to just fall in love with it. To connect with the character, the script, and the director. Sometimes they say to you, 'You should do that for your career; it's a big thing, people will go and see it,' but I wouldn't be able to, because my heart wouldn't be in it. I would drive people quite mad.
Eva Green
-
I wasn't terribly familiar. I had read some of the headlines but didn't quite understand difference between WikiLeaks...Edward Snowden. And then watching the documentary, working on the film, you got to see his personal journey through this and sort of understand more about what he went through.
Scott Eastwood
-
Probably though, by the time I was 17, I already knew that I was probably going to go into film...
Brian Henson
-
I find it rare to see truly complex portraits of women on film.

There's something that happens where you go, if you're lucky, goodness me, from film to another film to another film. And you can sort of feel that if you step off that treadmill, it might all go horribly wrong and you might never be employed again, you know. And I suddenly thought that that's not necessarily the case. And I also thought we make drama as actors about people in the world and that if you are on that treadmill, you start making films about other films.
Ewan McGregor
-
When I was a young actor I was in a lot of film doing one day work and two days' work, and they've included all those titles, which I don't even remember. I think I've played the lead in about 75 movies.
Michael Caine
-
My favourite films are in languages I don't understand.
Chika Anadu
-
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
-
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
-
I definitely want to do films. To see a character out from beginning to end in a matter of a hundred somewhat pages and then move on to the next role, is fascinating.
Michael B. Jordan
-
Oh, it takes a lot for me to walk out of a film.
Stephen Fry
-
To make a film is very difficult - it doesn't make a difference whether you are a man or a woman.
Deepa Mehta
-
You always have to appeal to your audience. You always have to consider how well your project will do in terms of admissions. I abandoned many stories because of that. But I don't get too down about it. It's something I accepted from the time I decided to work in films. I could always do something else if I got sick of it, like draw manga, or make my own films. I found it pointless sitting in my house not working, though I'd like to go on extended vacations from time to time.
Hayao Miyazaki
-
It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than (one) film.
Ryan Gosling
-
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
-
Basically, independent film doesn't exist anymore. It does if you have two or three stars in your film, but it's just very difficult.
Steven Shainberg
-
I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.
Cate Blanchett
