Film Quotes

I was offered some film roles, and I did not do them. It would have been interesting, but I have no regrets. I am where I am; I accept and embrace the mistakes because they’re character-building and they build perspective and talent Picture Quote #1

I’m a film buff and I was keen to find out about the response to Daniel Craig’s 007. ‘Empire’ and ‘Hot Dog’ had great reviews, and finally he’s been accepted as the new Bond. So many millions go into that franchise that if you make a mistake, it’s awful Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying anything that’s unknown, but movies are always cut down and there’s a lot of complexity within the film that is not always widely accepted by the general audience, which is just a reality; a movie of a certain size, they don’t want people to be too - it’s a balance of how deep to keep going with these ideas Picture Quote #1

I had been accepted to film school, but my parents couldn’t afford it, and yet they made too much money for me to get a scholarship Picture Quote #1

In a film muddied by fictional detail, the new Spielberg production ‘Fifth Estate’’s portrayal of the ‘Guardian’’s work with Wikileaks is accurate in describing the running dispute between journalists who wanted to redact documents to make them safe and Julian Assange, who wanted no such restraint Picture Quote #1

Nothing really attracts me to the film industry, to be perfectly honest. I look at acting as an art, and that’s all it is for me. It’s just fun Picture Quote #1
