Movies Quotes

The only thing I’m nervous about is talking to guests like human beings, because all of my interviews so far have been attacking people. I have a genuine concern about sitting across from an actor whose movies I obviously haven’t seen Picture Quote #1

Horror movies are all about getting your attention; you always have to be on guard. People love to be on the edge - there’s nothing like a surprise Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty upfront about my love and admiration for the military. One of the perks of making movies is that you get to sort of follow your own passions, and I believe quite passionately that we don’t pay enough attention and respect to our veterans. Not just our wounded veterans, but all veterans Picture Quote #1

In films, I didn’t crave the type of attention I had sort of stumbled into in my music career. And I do not audition well. I’m really not good at it. Early on, I did movies like ‘Alpha Dog’ and ‘Black Snake Moan’ because the directors didn’t ask me to audition Picture Quote #1

People’s attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies Picture Quote #1

There are many movies which come with an attitude of black and white. I am good and you are bad. And there are many movies that are also trying to see the reality as it is or to discover what really is behind the character or events Picture Quote #1

People are patronizing the theatres with renewed enthusiasm - there is an entire picnic-like attitude when families go out to see movies, which is a very good sign. They want to see larger-than-life characters on the big screen and not just watch movies on television or on DVDs Picture Quote #1

I’ve done a lot of movies that don’t have any music in them, and I’ve always sort of had a kind of wary attitude about music because it can be so manipulative, and also because with pop music, I feel like everybody kind of has their own relationship to songs Picture Quote #1

I think that my Let’s get it done! Let’s have fun! Let’s make a great movie! attitude helped. I rarely have problems on my movies with egos and attitudes Picture Quote #1

The way Hollywood portrays mothers - you’re either all good and saint-like, or you’re all bad. And I think the real honesty of motherhood is not given a voice in movies. I miss that as an audience member Picture Quote #1

Capturing intimacy is pretty much the only thing I’m interested in. That’s what excites me and what I find beautiful in movies personally - that almost obscene sense that we shouldn’t be this close to these people. I find that very inviting and meaningful as an audience member Picture Quote #1

Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie. If you happen to like my films, it’s because my films provide a bed for you on which you can find your creativity. The Hollywood movies do not provide that for you Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

People test movies within an inch of their life so that the entire audience experience is a uniform one Picture Quote #1

Movies alone have the hideous capacity to do everything for you. So in directing movies, you have to figure how to leave things out - because when you leave things out, you evoke the imaginative participation of the audience Picture Quote #1

I believe we have two ideas about how movies are made in our heads. Idealizations. Platonic ideals. One of them is of a movie that is completely uncontrolled, and another is a movie that is completely controlled. The auteur theory vs. cinÃƒÂ©ma vÃƒÂ©ritÃƒÂ© Picture Quote #1

I like to take risks and do weird things and stuff that’s not normal compared to other Hollywood movies. Not stuff that’s totally avant garde and daring, but doing stuff that’s in other languages and not using stars and using real people - things that they generally don’t do in mainstream films Picture Quote #1

I’m an outdoorsy guy, but I also enjoy the average teenager stuff - video games, movies, hanging with friends. I’m just a normal guy! Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a reputation for doing a certain type of film: lads’ movies that glamorise violence. The more my reputation as a bad boy grows, the more my life moves away from that Picture Quote #1

I love all the Pixar movies, and I like ‘Happy Feet Two.’ ‘Cause it has a lot of babies Picture Quote #1

Look, at the same time that I don’t want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. I’d be a baby and a fool to be like, ‘Why are there cameras taking pictures of me?’ when I’m on a billboard for a movie. I think that’s a very absurd concept Picture Quote #1

I grew up with the ‘Star Wars’ movies since before I have many memories. We had them on VHS back in the day, so they were part of the fabric of growing up in my family Picture Quote #1

When I was in Boy Scouts, back in the day, we’d tell stories around the campfire. That’s why I love movies. It’s literally you and your friends, telling stories around a campfire, whatever they may be Picture Quote #1

There are two ‘Snow White’ movies coming out for the same reason that you remember back in the day there was ‘Armageddon’ and then ‘Deep Impact.’ You know, ‘Andromeda Strain’ and then ‘Outbreak.’ Like, all of those things. It’s common because basically studios have no imagination in making the decisions Picture Quote #1

I’ve been watching Michael J. Fox since I was a toddler, basically. I watched all the ‘Back to the Future’ movies! I’ve been a fan my whole life Picture Quote #1

Very good in the Back to the Future movies, but was born to play Caroline in the City Picture Quote #1

I started out coming from more of a concert music background. It just turns out that 20th-century music techniques lend themselves to scary movies and horror movies Picture Quote #1

Movies, I don’t really get the bad guys. In theater, I get more bad guys. Both audiences and directors are more willing... to allow people to stretch. In movies, you do one thing, and then that’s their reference Picture Quote #1

My label is to play bad guys of Latin origin in American movies. I’m happy with that label. I prefer to play that than to play a city boy. The bad guy is always something very tempting for the audience Picture Quote #1

In this day and age, where you have a lot of comic book movies made every day, and most of them are really good boys, it’s important to have a couple bad boys out there, too Picture Quote #1
