Movies Quotes
-
I was a teenager in the '80s - and maybe I'm wrong about this - but it seemed like a bad era for movies that were scary. It was really the height of movies that were disgusting.
Chuck Klosterman
-
I think about the period of, like, the '70s and early '80s where nobody had money to make big movies and there was no CGI or anything like that and people had to get super creative. And then, you know, when you've got somebody who can paint you any picture on a computer and you get hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie, its almost like the creativity diminishes somewhat.
Ethan Suplee
-
It is true he still has a lot of money; he's built up a net worth and still has back-ends from movies, but you can't compare that to what he could be still making. Sometimes it just amazes me how uninterested he is about it.
Paul Wachter
-
It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.
Heather Matarazzo
-
A movie is better than real life because in the movies only the bad guys die. Or you can pick the good movies where the bad guys die and only those. If you get tricked and a good person dies in the movie then you can rewrite it in your head so the good person lives and the part about death is superfluous.
Kathryn Erskine

I've been thinking lately about immortality. What it means to be remembered, what I want to be remembered for, certain questions concerning memory and fame. I love watching old movies. I watch the faces of long-dead actors on the screen, and I think about how they'll never truly die. I know that's a cliché but it happens to be true. Not just the famous ones who everyone knows, the Clark Gables, the Ava Gardners, but the bit players, the maid carrying the tray, the butler, the cowboys in the bar, the third girl from the left in the nightclub. They're all immortal to me. First we only want to be seen, but once we're seen, that's not enough anymore. After that, we want to be remembered.
Emily St. John Mandel
-
I cry in movies a lot, and over books.
Hayley Mills
-
My movies are unadorned, they're not particularly fancy, I think they're kind of workmanlike in some ways, focusing on the writing and the acting.
Ben Affleck
-
I guess I'm not always looking for the same things in movies that most people are, which I wouldn't have necessarily even really known if not for spending too much time reading about myself on the Internet.
Andrew Bujalski
-
In TV and movies, you kill yourself spending all this time to think up the symbolism or what if that deer that runs across your hero's path somehow conveys what's going on inside your hero's head? When a lot of times, you just want to hear what he's thinking.
Eric Kripke
-
It's been an obsession of various genres, disciplines, and aspects and elements of movie-making. It's always been something that I've really aspired to, so doing something new and different, reinventing myself and working with new people is just the passport to the amazing world that is the movies.
David Gordon Green
-
I like too many different kinds of movies to only want to do one kind.
David Robert Mitchell
-
Horror movies, man, the blood entails so much time. And horror movies are not fun; definitely not starting there as a director. Definitely not horror.
Corey Haim
-
My place of refuge is definitely watching movies and playing video games.
Cam Newton
-
You don't want your kids to hear songs of this nature...
But you take em to the movies to watch Schwarzenegger!
Bushwick Bill
-
I watch a lot of Turner Classic movies. But I don't do private screenings. I don't have the old school, reel to reel projectors. I do have a big screen TV, though.
Leonardo DiCaprio
-
My movies are always being played on television, I'm very well known and all that stuff - I go all over the world, I have access to many things, many people, many places and it's wonderful. But now I'm at a point where...I thought it was time to show some of it, to show some of my feelings about things and what I preferred at the time. I prefer them still but not to the extent I did at the time.
Al Pacino
-
I hate the movies. For the past eight years, I have been making pictures – almost all of them terrible. When I first went into the movies, I felt that I had found a medium which would develop my acting ability. I wanted the experience, I have always loved to work. I made several pictures that were good. If you remember, in my first stories, I had considerable success. After that, I came to realize that it wasn’t my acting ability they wanted; it was just my name.
Pauline Frederick
-
I did two movies with Elvis, and both times not only was he was an absolute joy, but the experience itself was wonderful. He was extremely professional-always on time, knew his lines, and was very much a part of the cast, never pulling rank as the star.
Yvonne Craig
-
There's been more written about Lincoln than movies made about him or television portraying him. He's kind of a stranger to our industry, to this medium. You have to go back to the 1930s to find a movie that's just about Abraham Lincoln. I just found that my fascination with Lincoln, which started as a child, got to the point where after reading so much about him I thought there was a chance to tell a segment of his life to to moviegoers.
Steven Spielberg
-
I've tried to get better about weighing what I think the accessibility of an idea is against the cost of executing it. I've tried to be smarter about that, because if you're not smart about that, you're going to be unemployed. But I'm still mystified about what works for people. And I'm not talking about my movies, I'm talking in general. I'm mystified by the stuff that doesn't work. I'm mystified by what's going on in the critical side, too.
Steven Soderbergh
-
I feel like movie stars don't have many friends at all. They have acquaintances.
Milla Jovovich
