I still remember 1997 when I made the movie ‘Storm Riders;’ that moment, a lot of American producers want to hire me to make movies in the States Picture Quote #1

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it’s also got the horror element Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a very American director, but I probably should have been making movies somewhere around 1976. I never left the mainstream of American movies; the American mainstream left me Picture Quote #1

American movies and music deliver themes of freedom, innocence, and power that appeal to others - partly because America itself was put together out of a multiplicity of national traditions Picture Quote #1

I think it’s that thing of growing up all the time watching American movies and listening to American music. It hits you in a way that’s a lot purer because you are not in that culture that you’re watching Picture Quote #1

I learned English at school, or at least that’s how it started. Also, in Holland - as opposed to some other European countries - we don’t dub anything, so as a kid growing up, always watching English and American movies in their original language really helped Picture Quote #1

Foreigners have a complex set of associations in their minds when they think of America - from Iraq to 9/11, certainly, but also from Coke to jeans. It is entirely possible for people around the world to love American products, American books, American movies, American music, and dislike the policies of the government of America Picture Quote #1

It was always a dream as I was growing up. I would watch movies, mostly American movies, and be so engrossed in those stories, all I wanted to do was be there. I wanted to be part of that romance or that fantasy or be that warrior or that struggling soul who finally makes it good Picture Quote #1

My love for American music and American movies is from an early age. I was 10 or 11 when I heard Fats Domino and Little Richard and Buddy Holly. And the movies, my dad used to take my brother and I to the movies every Friday. It was incredible: we got to see just about every movie that came out for a period of years Picture Quote #1

Ou know, if you want to see jackbooting Nazis in movies, you’ve got to watch American movies made at that time Picture Quote #1

We want to be seen as more than just martial artists, or bad stereotype token roles in American TV and movies Picture Quote #1

America does four things better than any other country in the world: rock music, movies, software and high-speed pizza delivery. All of these are sacred American art forms Picture Quote #1

Romanian movies are not made the same as American movies are, only because it’s newer there. For instance, cigarettes, over there, are much more prominent, and Americans aren’t used to that Picture Quote #1

Before I moved into the mainstream of American movies, I wrote a script as an experiment. I wanted to get very far away from the clichÃƒÂ©s about the three-act play - structure, development Picture Quote #1

I get a lot of dark scripts now. I don’t wanna be stuck doing movies like American Pie. For someone my age, once you get started doing them, it’s hard to get out Picture Quote #1

I didn’t watch a lot of American television growing up. I just liked to read a lot and watch movies - movies, movies, and more movies. My family used to make fun of me because I’d like every movie I saw Picture Quote #1

My movies are, more or less, very short. I’m terrified of boring an audience Picture Quote #1

When I’m feeling a little empty in the head, I like to go see movies or read to loosen things up there Picture Quote #1

Secrets make for good drama, and revealing the hidden truths and contradictions of life is, for me, one of the most exciting aspects of making movies Picture Quote #1

It seems that we’re heading toward the day that films will be released in all platforms simultaneously, albeit with a cost premium to see it at home. But I hope that theater-going doesn’t end - I think that watching movies on the big screen with an audience is still the best format and also an important one for society Picture Quote #1

Making movies has become such a golden ring, and it’s all such a big business, that the rewards system has gotten totally out of whack. Suddenly, you’re treated in a manner befitting someone who is actually an important person Picture Quote #1

A lot of filmmakers hate testing movies. I love it because it’s an audience medium. The biggest problem has been the prevalence of all these Internet sites. It’s almost impossible to have a test screening without it leaking out on the Internet Picture Quote #1

I think real life reflects your movies. In your life, you pick stuff that influences what movie roles you wanna pick. I think if you’ve got an interesting life, you wanna do interesting movies about interesting things Picture Quote #1

Movies have an enormous power to open the mind and the heart and everything Picture Quote #1

I approach all of my movies with an open mind and a willingness to dive in and do what’s asked of me Picture Quote #1

It’s the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.Andy Warhol Picture Quote #1

A lot of the people that stop you - well, they’re not nuts, exactly. They’re more like super-fans. They think that I’m some sort of rich guy, that everyone in the movies is making the kind of money Angelina Jolie is making. They don’t realize that most of my life has been a struggle Picture Quote #1

I don’t want people leaving the theater depressed after my movies. I want them angry Picture Quote #1
