At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!
~ John Hughes
I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.
~ Jason Bateman
People love teen movies because everyone can relate.
~ Zoe Kravitz
I think I am too old to be doing teen movies. I am just kind of annoyed, because you have all these teen movies coming out with usually either Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff doing four of the exact teen movies over and over again.
~ Alexa Vega
When I started writing, there was nothing about zombies. It was all teen movies, which to me are scarier than zombies, but that's another story.
~ Max Brooks
I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didn't like me. I guess I wasn't a certain type.
~ Leelee Sobieski
To be honest, I haven't seen a lot of the current crop of teen movies because there's only so much time and there's nothing that really drives me to do it.
~ Curtis Armstrong
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
~ Stanley Kubrick
To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
~ Quentin Tarantino
I was influenced when I was younger by the cartoon movies that Disney put out, like Cinderella and what not. I watched those movies over and over when I was younger and the music is ingrained into my head. Nowadays, I'm still humming the tunes. It taught me the fundamentals.
~ Zac Efron
I just want to sing, I want to work on my music, I want to make my movies, that's all I want to do.
~ Marc Anthony
When the music and the characters are flawlessly synchronized, the opera develops an emotional force that movies and plays cannot match.
~ Bruce Beresford
I really took filmmaking very seriously... It was an honor and then a crutch also, because at a young age, I was like, I guess I'm a serious filmmaker. I never set out to be a serious filmmaker. I just set out to make movies.
~ John Singleton
Morning is the best time to see movies.
~ Christopher Walken
A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AI's will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous.
~ Ray Kurzweil
Right now I just want to chill for a while. Take a hiatus from all the craziness. To clean my house, see my family. Just see some movies and pick some strawberries.
~ Lauren Ambrose
When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family's car at the drive-in.
~ Forest Whitaker
Architecture has a strong link with the movies in terms of time progression, sequencing, framing, all of that.
~ Christian De Portzamparc
Egyptian comedy has a very, very old tradition. Our theater and our movies are just, like, amazing. And Egypt is kind of like the Hollywood of the Middle East. I mean, we had cinema maybe decades before the other Arab countries ever got independence.
~ Bassem Youssef
Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard.
~ George Lucas
Learning how to edit movies was a real breakthrough.
~ Peter Jackson
The best part of making the movies... learning from the pros themselves.
~ Michelle Rodriguez
Watching movies was like going to school for me. It still is. You're always learning. Even if it's bad, you're learning what not to do.
~ Loretta Swit
'The Princess Bride' is one of my favorite movies of all time.
~ Ivana Milicevic
If there's specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.
~ Kathryn Bigelow
In life, single women are the most vulnerable adults. In movies, they are given imaginary power.
~ Elizabeth Wurtzel
What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.
~ Jill Clayburgh
Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering, 'When do I put my arm around her?'
~ Eli Roth
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
~ Orson Welles
Signing up for 'It Follows,' I didn't have any idea it was going to turn out the way it did, but seeing it, the music and the feel of it definitely was pretty amazing, getting that kind of throwback feel to classic horror movies.
~ Maika Monroe
When you really study espionage movies, or spy movies, the beginnings are really set up to have, like, an amazing bit of action, but at the moment you're watching it, you have no idea why or what it's about.
~ John Lasseter
Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.
~ Robert Altman
Unless you burst into movies as a sex goddess, you're likely to play wives and mothers. I came into movies as a teenager in 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They' (1969) playing a pregnant waif from the Ozarks. I didn't get a chance to burst into movies in 'Body Heat.' My career isn't based on having a 23-inch waist and a big bust, though I do.
~ Bonnie Bedelia
Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.
~ Steven Spielberg
How do people relate to movies now, when they're on portable devices or streaming them? It's not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.
~ Keanu Reeves
Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways. It's difficult when you're used to owning the copyright and having a landlord's possessory rights - I rent my plays to the companies that do them and, if I'm upset, I can pull the play. But the only two directors I've worked with are pretty great.
~ Tony Kushner
I only make movies to finance my fishing.
~ Lee Marvin
If you see voters as rational, you'll be a terrible politician. People are not wired to be rational. Our brains simply evolved to keep us alive. Brains did not evolve to give us truth. Brains merely give us movies in our minds that keeps us sane and motivated. But none of it is rational or true, except maybe sometimes by coincidence.
~ Scott Adams
If you're sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that's entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it's the storytelling. That's why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story.
Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
~ Roger Ebert
