Any movie I’ve ever made, the minute you walk on the set they tell you who’s the person to buy it from.

Indian cinema seems to be growing very well at its own pace.

I love to watch videos, and I’ve always liked to film and take pictures. I have an eye for really weird things that nobody thinks about. I used to make little movies about myself and then edit them on iMovie.

I’d never do a film that would hurt anyone’s sentiments, be it Indian or not.

I feel like I’m in the middle of an 80’s movie.

I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.

My favorite anime movie is ‘Fist of the North Star’.

I always had all of these childhood fantasies about wanting to invent things, like a spaceship or a time machine. And everyone’s imagined what it would be like to go back in time and change things, to see what would happen if you had a different life. ‘Back to the Future’ fulfills all of those daydreams. It’s the perfect movie.

I think the big evolutionary step for me is directing my own movies.

I enjoy doing press for something that I like, and I think the movie is very fun and charming and clever

No one will understand a Japanese garden until you’ve walked through one, and you hear the crunch underfoot, and you smell it, and you experience it over time. Now there’s no photograph or any movie that can give you that experience.

I kind of have a rededication in my life now to acting because I’m very fond of being in this movie

And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen

When I’m writing a movie, it’s usually pretty close to what the movie is going to be, which is just a luxury of being a writer-director.

I wrote ‘All is Lost’ while editing ‘Margin Call’. I did that long before I knew if I was ever going to get to make another movie.

The original Spencer Tracy version of ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ was always terribly flawed because of the over-reliance on voice over, but it’s still a beautiful movie.

It’s great when a director like Cameron Crowe can take what you do and fit it into what he’s doing. If someone’s a fan of you already, they can take what you do and make it work for what they’re doing. You don’t know their vision, and you’re thinking, ‘How is this guy going to take what I do and make it work in this movie?’

It’s an ongoing joke that a black man is always the first one to get killed in movies.

If a director brings a guy to their movie who does improv, they’ve got to let him do what he does – otherwise it’s like bringing Michael Jordan to your basketball team and telling him to just pass the ball and don’t shoot.

As a boy, my favorite show was ‘Superman’ and my favorite movie was ‘Star Wars’ – along with other science fiction shows and movies. And I always wanted to fly.

The desire of posthumous fame and the dread of posthumous reproach and execration are feelings from the influence of which scarcely any man is perfectly free, and which in many men are powerful and constant motives of action

I really like ‘The Three Kings’ DVD. I love that movie and all the extra footage and documentaries.

The Three Kings DVD is my favorite. I love this movie and all the foot rages.

I like suspenseful movies instead of really gory, scary movies because I’m a coward. The suspense genre makes you think.

To be famous, you’ve to do big movies but to improve yourself as an actor and for your well-being, you need to do smaller films so that you will learn through them

To be fair, I don’t think it’s a plague to say I have the misfortune of making movies for a living.

As an actor, the ambition is to play interesting characters. And in the indie genre world, the budgets are low. That allows me, as an actor, not to have a financial value behind my name, to justify me being in these bigger parts for these types of movies.

I did four movies where I gained, like, fifty pounds. I had curly hair, and I had all of this facial hair. I had put on all this weight for these movies, and I did four or five of them back-to-back. Then I cut the weight and I got fit again. I cut my beard and I took away the mustache, and people were like, ‘What are you doing?’

When you see a movie, they always put the Latino on the bad side or in a tacky way. It’s not like that. Latinos are shining like a diamond.

Right now, more people enjoy movies, music, television and movies than they do video games.

I have no martial arts background… I only know movie Kung Fu.

I’ve spent so much time with iambic pentameter that I can now recognize it when I hear it in conversation or a movie – it’s like a weird, useless superpower.

I picked up my college copy of ‘The Great Gatsby’ in an attempt to recover from the movie and was interested to find out what I’d underlined. The answer was basically: everything.

If you’re making a movie about the effects of time, you kind of have to engage time as the main character.

A lot of people when they make movies, the actors act like it’s their journey and that everyone is on the set to facilitate their journey and the whole thing is set up that way – they ask if you want anything.

Far up above, aliens hover Making home movies for the folks back home Of all these weird creatures that lock up their spirits Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets.

Space Jam is my favorite movie. Don’t ask me why, it just is

Fashion is a movie. Every morning when you get dressed, you direct yourself.

When you have movies who help, who give belief and show strength, it’s good.

In general, I hate films that are overtly either very masculine or very feminine, you know? The same way that I don’t like a war movie about soldiers smashing people’s heads. But a chick flick I like would be Cassavetes’ movies. ‘A Woman Under the Influence,’ ‘Husbands.’

It’s very difficult to raise money, especially in the United States, for independent movies.

I think in a sense seeing how films have changed me and seeing how fiction moves me more than facts in many ways, and I think that I can talk for many people that fiction moves us more than real life, it certainly helps us to set forth on this a journey of a utopia, which can never be achieved.

I think we’re very complicated and we’re capable of all kinds of things, and movies don’t reflect that.

I think we just knew that we had a movie when Rachel walked in the room.

You can’t make a movie for everybody. You can’t go into it trying to alienate people, but you have to assume that you’re going to.

I think it’s more interesting to see people who don’t feel appropriately. I relate to that, because sometimes I don’t feel anything at all for things I’m supposed to, and other times I feel too much. It’s not always like it is in the movies.

If the character is true, the movie will fall into place. Or at least that’s what you hope.

I like all kinds of movies, I love movies; and I always wanted to try and make one.

I was watching ‘Pulp Fiction’ when we were making ‘Now and Then’. I didn’t care about ‘Now and Then,’ you know?

I’m not making movies for kids or family audiences.

We make movies to be watched in theatres. Online streaming is more of a bonus, to revisit the film.

The truth is that everyone pays attention to who’s number one at the box office. And none of it matters, because the only thing that really exists is the connection the audience has with a movie.

I’ve never defined myself by the box office. I’ve always said I just want to be able to make movies, and if I can make a living at it, I’ll do that.

Not so long ago, my feminist education taught me to ask the question, ‘Is the gaze male?’ The answer, apparently, is yes, which is why so many movies and television shows are about men and not women.

I am going to produce a movie of my own. I am not going to stick to the time-tested formulae of Hindi cinema. I want to make a film for the present generation. So there will be a lot of new faces in the film.

Thirty-five percent of all my dates were at the movies from 2013 to 2014

I love to see the rarest movies, the most talked-about movies and documentaries. I read all the reviews and compare them to see if its worth going! I have a secret movie critic blog I have shown no one or promoted, and I intend to keep it that way

I find it soothing, the thought of a movie theater

I find it soothing, the thought of a movie theater

Usually, When I’m Rapping, I’m Creating A Big Story Or A Concept Song That Sounds Like A Movie To Me

I Want The Cheesy Dates At The Movies, The Stupid Walks At The Beach, And Sharing Straws In A Cup

Even if you’re doing something that the studio sends you, or something that’s based on a book or story, at the end of it all, you try to make whatever it is your own. This is based on my love of horror movies. Everything is based on something, in some way.

Movies you try to work out your issues, then you realize those kinds of traumatic issues just stay with you forever and they just keep reoccurring, and no matter how hard I try to get them out of my head, they just sort of stay there.

Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.

First of all, you make a movie that you want to see and then you just hope for the best.

First of all, you make a movie that you want to see and then you just hope for the best.

I don’t know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighborhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.

There’s something about taking a classic movie that people love and doing another version of that, you’re setting yourself up for a mistake.

When we were growing up and saw a Ray Harryhausen movie, we were interested in how it was done. But thank God we got to go through the magic of seeing it before we knew how it was done. You were able to get this beautiful, pure, visceral response to something without knowing too much about it.

And that’s why we’re all interested in movies- those ones that make you feel, you still think about. Because it gave you such an emotional response, it’s actually part of your emotional make-up, in a way

I grew up watching monster movies and horror movies, which I felt were like fairy tales and I think this always spoke to me. Something about that is symbolism – the beauty and the magic which helps me work with film and start making modern fairy tales

Warner Studios official in the era of silent movies: Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?

Thomas Edison was a graduate of Cooper Union. Like Otis, he is principally famous for things he didn’t do. He didn’t invent electricity, or the lightbulb, the phonograph or the movies. These misappropriations didn’t bother him much: he didn’t correct folk. What he was good at, what he really knew, was patents

So much of the Western tradition deals with the most despairing and angst-ridden emotions, but they’re movies made for kids. It’s as if America was trying to pass on an unpleasant but necessary lesson of life: that you were alone, and you needed to toughen up and shut up

What’s interesting is that producers, directors and writers tend to typecast me in terms of whatever movie they’ve seen me in most recently.

The black community in Hollywood is very small and close-knit. Everyone has a common goal: to make a two-hour movie in 30 days.

For me as an actor because I’ve been at it so long, it becomes much harder to watch movies because you really see the seams of everything.

I just like The Little Mermaid cartoon. Say what you want. I have a fish tank, it’s a long story. I have a fascination with the ocean, and you put a hot chick in there, it just adds more to it! I liked The Little Mermaid. It’s a cool movie. It’s one of those I watch over and over again.

TV show’s really quick. You’re in, you’re out. A film usually takes a lot longer. However, a voiceover is very much like TV in the sense that it’s really quick. For example, I did the movie Planes in one day.

omedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That’s the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.

I don’t think we’re living in great times for movies, to tell you the truth.

My goal was just to live a good life that I was happy with. And I wasn’t exactly sure that that meant being the star of a movie.

Like I’m going to go from shooting a movie back to pretending to slap myself in the face while some guy pretends he’s ejaculating on double D tits. I’m officially too fancy for that.

George Lucas should have distributed the “source code” to Star Wars. Millions of fans would create their own movies and stories. Most of them would be terrible, but a few would be genius.

Unless you’re a big movie star, regular television work is going to bring you more exposure than anything. Everybody has a television; not everybody goes to the movies.

Right before Pamela Anderson met Tommy Lee I got this crazy script to do this incredible movie with her where I play this cop with a young partner like Brad Pitt who is in love with Pamela Anderson and he gets killed in the line of duty and she falls in love with me and it gets really crazy. I turned that down.

To be honest I’m quite boring I love to go bowling and to the movies. When it comes to my wardrobe I think I dress like a 30 year old woman.

I love that experience of seeing a bad movie or a movie that you don’t even know, and then experiencing it with your friend.

I liked Vittorio De Sica a lot, and I got to work with him once in a segment movie. He was a great director. He was a very charismatic character and a guy I watched a lot when he was directing.

You are always hoping that movie audiences are interested in characters and interested in story values rather than just mindless special effects. But you never know.

When I did ‘Bird,’ it was a surprise to some people, first because I wasn’t in it and second because most of the films I’d been doing were cop movies or westerns or adventure films, so to be doing one about Charlie Parker, who was a great influence on American music, was a great thrill for me.

Movies were invented for Jimmy Cagney, and he was invented for the movies. A perfect match.

There’s a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven’t. You just do the best you can.

It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it’s all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening.

I love making movies, but there’s nothing like performing live.

If you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you’ve got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that.

One of the skills I had to learn and become proficient in is kissing a man. I had never kissed a man. Will Smith did it in his movies, so did Jake Gyllenhaal, and I figured it was my time. So it was me and Steve Carell – fantastic.

When I was 8 years old, I saw ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ in Charlotte, North Carolina. I walked out of there and was so inspired. I loved the movie, and I knew I wanted to be that guy.

What I’ve found recently is the heart, the soul, whatever you want to call it, it doesn’t differentiate: If you really live the experience making a movie, it’s the same as living it in real life, as crazy as it sounds.

We’re only on the earth for a short period of time. Movies aren’t enough. I want to take my success and parlay it into something bigger and better.

I thought I’d just do a wave of movies, and then I’d burn out. They just kept coming together.

There’s more to life than movies.

I definitely love horror movies and all that for sure.

People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and and say ‘I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.

If my life was a movie, no one would believe it.

Whenever I finished filming a movie, I felt my job was only half done. Every film had to be nurtured in the marketplace. You can have the greatest movie in the world, but if you don’t get it out there, if people don’t know about it, you have nothing.

I have a love interest in every one of my films – a gun.

I keep the head of the anaconda from my 1997 movie Anaconda on a shelf.

I’m not trying to turn into Eddie Murphy, and just do kids movies the rest of my career. I’m going to still do a wide variety of movies, as well as do hardcore rap.

While I had done the movies through Revolution Studios, we own the sitcom. It was a situation where, once the team was assembled, I knew we could create something really, really good.

You can measure films on box office success, or people lovin’ the movie whenever they see it. That’s what I measure my movies on. How much people love these movies after they get a chance to see them, no matter how they get a chance to see them.

Don’t get a movie confused with real life. I’m a well-rounded human being like everyone else.

I always say the movie came out good if they want another one. That always tells me that people really liked the movie.

I’ve done movies for certain reasons.

The moving hand once having writ moves on. Nor all thy piety nor wit can lure it back to cancel half a line.

All movies on some level can aspire to be more than just whatever the label is of the movie.

I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.

Movies work, in my opinion, on the best level when they’re more enigmatic, when we don’t say it’s this or that and where it raises more questions than answers.

I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you’re really going about it the wrong way.

I do like to move and get physical in my movies.

I actually enjoy working with green screen, because I can imagine all that stuff happening, and I really cut my teeth on a movie I made called “Adaptation” where I had to imagine four-page dialogue scenes with my twin brother, who was nothing more than a tennis ball and a gas stand.

I just want to keep making movies that hopefully makes some kids smile.

Generally my instinct is to not do biographical movies. I want to build characters and not be locked into playing a part in history.

I think on some level, all of us have a little bit of belief in the possibility of different energies and forces and things like that. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be afraid of them. Or there wouldn’t be so many movies about them.

I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people’s minds.

I want people to discover my movies, and however they choose to receive it is their business.

When you have 400 people watching you making a movie, it doesn’t go where you want it to go. It’s a lot of pressure.

I like movies where you feel like you’re going into another world, and no matter how many times you watch it, you’re gonna see something new in that world. That level of detail really inspires me.

People are losing jobs, people need to be entertained, and I want to make movies that parents and children can look forward to seeing, that can become a kind of family ritual.

I really think it’s important that my beliefs don’t impinge upon what you get from the movie. It’s your opinion that matters and it’s far more interesting than mine.

Nobody can make a movie as exciting as Jerry Bruckheimer. When it’s a Jerry Bruckheimer movie that it’s going to have lots of chrome and gloss, it’s going to be sexy, and it’s going to be big and fun.

God bless the popcorn film. Especially movies where you can take the kids, because I remember looking forward to seeing these movies with my parents, and if I can give that back, I’m gonna do it.

I try to make two movies a year. To me, that’s not too much. On top of that, I like to work.

I will promise you that if I can give you two good scenes – which is what I always try to do in every movie – then I feel like I’m doing my job.

I do enjoy animated movies.

The most meaningful movies I can make are the ones where parents can share them with their children and children can look forward to sharing them with their parents, a ritual if you will, where they get to spend time together and the kids are smiling.

I just try to keep it fresh. I try to keep it interesting. The truth is my roots are independently spirited dramas that are small, and I will always go back to that well, because that’s where I broke out of. But I’m going to keep doing as many different movies as I possibly can.

I may be alone in this, but I do sense the power of film, in that movies have the ability to literally change people’s minds. That’s pretty powerful stuff when you consider that.

I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was very young. I guess I was about 6 years old at the time, and I was fascinated by television. I started having waking fantasies where I was in a movie and there were crane shots of me during a scene.

Life is a movie, but there will never be a sequel.

Real life, my movie don’t come with actors.

I am what a romantic movie is to a profound thinker—a mere diversion, a comic interlude, something that is soon forgotten.

I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve been able to have that balance as an actress to be able to do the wild, fun action movies and also be allowed to do the dramas. Hopefully, if I’m able to keep that balance, I’d love to always try to do both.

I think if you make a good movie, people walk away arguing.

God didn’t make me to make movies, flex muscles, buy gold. What you love the most becomes your God. If I never make another dollar, my life is complete.

I didn’t watch  The A Team movie. I’m an artist. You can’t re paint a Rembrandt. You can’t duplicate that; I don’t care who you get.

If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved… or star in a movie.

I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half, and since then I’ve asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That’s really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.

All my life, all my life that I can, as far back as I can remember, I saw my first movie when I was six years old. And since then I wanted to do that. I wanted to be a part of that.

I just want to keep doing what I’m doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.

People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

I haven’t died in a movie in a while,’The Departed,’ ‘Body of Lies,’ ‘Revolutionary Road,’ ‘Shutter Island’ and ‘Inception.’ I guess I did die in ‘The Departed.

I just want to keep doing what I’m doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.

My life is a movie and everyone’s watching.

Kids end up seeing my movies anyway but some of the mothers get mad at me so I figured I’d make one that I can’t get yelled at for.

I wanted to make sure that I did one movie in my career that mothers hug me for.

Oh, really? Well, my movie’s gonna make more money than your movie.
