Screen Quotes

Although a lot of pain for a little screen time; Shaving legs, waxing eyebrows, high heels, trying to put on a bra, losing weight because women’s clothes are SO revealing - Ladies you have my respect Picture Quote #1

The magic of film isn’t just because of the big screen, or the acoustics, but the ineffable shared experience of going to the movies Picture Quote #1

Part of being famous is offering up this blank screen upon which people can project everything, and it’s a sacred act, putting yourself out there, in a way that lots of celebrities aren’t steeled for; they’re not prepared for the degree to which people define them Picture Quote #1

The trick is falling in love with something enough, and being excited enough by something, to want to make that year and a half or two year commitment and wake up every morning at 5 to go deal with a whole day full of problems to get it up on the screen. You really need passion Picture Quote #1

I remember being infuriated from the top of my head to the tip of my toes the first time a screen was put around Bob Carter and me on a train leaving Washington in the 1940s Picture Quote #1

Television is all about sound. You’ll never get a moment of silence unless there’s something really extraordinary going on, on screen, visually. They never let a moment of silence pass without being filled in television because it’s a very sound-driven medium Picture Quote #1

I don’t really diet or anything. I’m miserable when I’m dieting and I like the way I look. I’m really sick of all these actresses looking like birds I’d rather look a little chubby on camera and look like a person in real life, than look great on screen and look like a scarecrow in real life Picture Quote #1

When people talk to me about the digital divide, I think of it not so much about who has access to what technology as about who knows how to create and express themselves in the new language of the screen. If students aren’t taught the language of sound and images, shouldn’t they be considered as illiterate as if they left college without being able to read and write? Picture Quote #1

I’m still traumatized that I’m going to be on a big screen in a white bikini and naked so who knows! Picture Quote #1

Looking back across the years, so many pictures flash on the screen of my memory that just as I begin to see one clearly, another slides in, blotting out the first, itself to be pushed aside by the next and the next and the next Picture Quote #1

I hate it when people pray on the screen. It's not because I hate praying, but whenever I see an actor fold his hands and look up in the spotlight, I'm lost. There's only one other thing in the movies I hate as much, and that's sex. You just can't get in bed or pray to God and convince me on the screen Picture Quote #1

When you want to do your homework, fill out your tax return, or see all the choices for a trip you want to take, you need a full-size screen Picture Quote #1

What's happened with computer technology is perfectly timed for someone with my set of skills. I tell stories with pictures. What I love about CGI is that if I can think it, it can be put on the screen Picture Quote #1

The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers. He cannot, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his sort-comings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget. The engineer simply cannot deny he did it. If his works do not work, he is damned Picture Quote #1

I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen Picture Quote #1

In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don't know what we're seeing, we overreact Picture Quote #1

If you can figure out my success on the screen, you're a better man than I Picture Quote #1

The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle Picture Quote #1

Most of the sex I’ve seen on the screen looks like an expression of hostility towards sex Picture Quote #1

You gotta understand, when moving images first started, people wanted sound, color, big screen and depth Picture Quote #1

The speech we hear is an indication of that which we don’t hear. It is a necessary avoidance, a violent, sly, and anguished or mocking smoke screen which keeps the other in its true place. When true silence falls we are left with echo but are nearer nakedness. One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness Picture Quote #1

I wished there was some kind of switch on my brain. That I could turn it off in the same way that I could turn off the television. Just click it off and immediately empty my mind of all these images and worrying thoughts. And simply leave a blank screen. Or if I could just remove my head and put it on the bedside table and forget about it until morning. And then attach it again when I needed it Picture Quote #1

Nobody has a perfect life. What you see on the screen is the best of the artist Picture Quote #1

People often criticize my films for being pessimistic; there are certainly many reasons for being pessimistic but I don’t see my films that way. They’re founded in the belief that revolution doesn’t belong on the cinema screen but outside in the world. Never mind if a film ends pessimistically but exposes certain mechanisms clearly enough to show people how they work and the ultimate effect is not pessimistic. My goal is to reveal such mechanisms in a way that makes people realize the necessity of changing their own reality Picture Quote #1

If two actors have an equal creative give and take between them, it translates beautifully on the screen Picture Quote #1

In my opinion, there are two things that can absolutely not be carried to the screen: the realistic presentation of the sexual act and praying to God Picture Quote #1

Yeah, I tell them to change the channel if they see some guy in a brown suit with a telephone number at the bottom of the screen asking for money Picture Quote #1

I hate myself on the screen. I want to die... my voice is either too high or too gravelly. I want to dive under the carpet... I’d love to be tall and willowy... I’m short Picture Quote #1
