Films Quotes
-
Western civilization shapes the content of my films, provides me with subjects that haven't been used before.
Eric Rohmer
-
I admit that I've been beaten up so many times in films, but we do not fake it - we actually have to fight when we shoot to make it real and to save film and time. Even the props that are not real, like the bats are plastic, but they're still very hard, so it still hurts.
Min-sik Choi
-
The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We're not running the same race. It's like we're all doing different sports in fact.
Heath Ledger
-
Well, there's a great Marlon Brando quote that to do something well you have to spiritually marry your director. You have to be making the same movie they are in that you have to try to help their imagination be better, and more full, and more fully realized, but you can't have a different imagination because then you end up - and you see this a lot in movies - where it feels like they were making five different films.
Ethan Hawke
-
I've done films where you have to get in shape for purely vanity reasons, when you read a script, turn to page 87 and it says: "Rips his shirt off and casually throws it onto chair" - and you're going to go to the gym the next day because nobody wants to see your big fat arse out there taking your shirt off!
Bruce Willis
-
Not all films are going to go down in history.
Steven Ford
-
You have independent films and independent music, but you don't have independent theme parks - I think, in a way, Burning Man is as close, probably, as you get.
Peter Gabriel
Genesis
-
I loved films of the '70s with those antihero protagonists who you don't know if you can get behind because their behavior is really questionable.
Nicholas Jarecki
-
For me, my films have already aged. When they're finished, I don't want to watch them. Of course, I feel protective, but I try not to attach myself to these stories.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul
-
TV has made us get down to the nub and new films will begin to live up to what the medium can be.
Elia Kazan
-
To answer the question, though: I didn't always want to direct. I just liked the idea of it. If a friend was making a short and needed someone who knew screen direction, I would jump in. It would be horrible, but it led to a short, then another, and another. It was like student films.
Ben Affleck
-
My choices in films are spontaneous.
Nicole Kidman
-
The constant in my films is love stories. I consider love the chief business of humanity.
Claude Lelouch
-
I think it's so hypocritical to be so anti-nudity in films, and be so pro-violence. I'd rather see two people making love, than somebody being done in. Or being shot and getting their head blown off.
Eva Mendes
-
The nature of motion capture is only going to work for certain films. It's not going to put any other type of movies out of business.
Tom Hanks
-
It's always a struggle with small films to get people in the theater. I think I have a perverse contrarian streak that's always kind of aspired to make movies that are impossible to market.
Andrew Bujalski
-
In a way, I feel that we're always connected, maybe you and me, we've been connected - not only now, but before. That's why we've crossed paths. And this manifests beautifully for me in fables, old television, novels in Thailand, but now we try to ignore these themes and stories. That's why now when we make "ghost" films, they have a certain stock quality to their effects, a certain formula, and I miss how it used to be.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul
-
I've made films that I've given all I had to, that no one has seen. The bottom line is I want to work and I want someone to enjoy it.
Kiefer Sutherland
