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.
~ Ben Affleck
Photoshop makes things look beautiful just as you have special effects in movies. It's just a part of life.
~ Erin Heatherton
A lot of times you get credit for stuff in your movies you didn't intend to be there.
~ Spike Lee
Go see it and see for yourself why you shouldn't go see it.
~ Samuel Goldwyn
I've never made any horrible, horrible movies. If you don't ruin your reputation, you can always get work.
~ Bill Murray
The same sensations that you get in heavy metal are in horror movies. Heavy metal sounds evil and horror movies are evil, ha ha!
~ Kirk Hammett
If you don't like my movies, don't watch them.
~ Dario Argento
My agent said, 'You aren't good enough for movies.' I said, 'You're fired.'
~ Sally Field
If you can market smut and toilet paper, you can market movies.
~ Dawn Steel
I guess you just feel like there's a whole story that's not being told in movies. You're only seeing the macho guy version of a story that from the woman's side, may be completely different.
~ Heather Graham
All the movies that I have done I have not been in control of. Sometimes there is a contractual situation where you go to the studio, and they kind of tell you which ones they want you to do.
~ Steven Seagal
I never cared about making one coherent masterpiece with a conventional narrative. I always wanted my movies to have images falling from all directions in a vaudevillian way. If you didn't like what was happening in one scene, you could just snooze through it until the next scene.
~ Harmony Korine
You can make a thousand different movies about the same subject.
~ Pedro Almodóvar
Ultimately, if you look at all my films from 'Bloody Sunday' on, they're steeped in a post-9/11 atmosphere. 'United 93' is directly about 9/11, of course, but every one of the movies deals with paranoia, mistrust, and fear.
~ Paul Greengrass
They allow us to disrespect our Black woman. A lot of these things would be considered criminal if it were to be carried out in the streets. That's like when they tell you after you buy your VHS and you rent movies they tell you not to copy the movies.
~ Afrika Bambaataa
A producer is always behind the scenes, even more in the movies - nobody sees you. I didn't even meet most of the actors. When I worked on 'Top Gun,' I never met Tom Cruise. You were always in the background.
~ Giorgio Moroder
I love making movies, and being in any that I can be in. I'd like to be in those giant movies, as the fifth or sixth lead, and have three or four killer scenes. You don't have the responsibility of the entire movie being on you. I like those roles. I'm shooting for the middle.
~ Bill Burr
When you make the kind of movies I make, you get weird letters from people.
~ David Fincher
I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format - how it works, the device of the silent movie. It's not the same form of expression as a talkie. The lack of sounds makes you participate in the storytelling.
~ Michel Hazanavicius
You know, usually with movies there are periods, dark areas, where I might not be getting what I wanted out of a theme. I'll have to go over and over it again.
~ Trevor Rabin
Everybody knows when you've got a role in a Spike Lee movie, you're gonna blow up. But I happen to be the only person who's had the lead in the two Spike Lee movies nobody saw.
~ Anthony Mackie
I like movies. Movies have afforded me a modicum of luxuries. The thing about the movies is, if you're bad in a movie, you're bad forever.
I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.
~ Alex Winter
You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction', and it goes right in the bin.
~ Tim Roth
When I was a little kid, I wanted to be, like, you know, a movie star, you know? Or, I always have interest in movie, you know? Because I like the visual aspect of the movies, et cetera.
~ Tommy Wiseau
I'm proudest of the fact that I've been able to make a few movies in the studio system that are slightly unorthodox and personal. But it's never quite as easy as you dream that it could be.
~ Cameron Crowe
You can map your life through your favorite movies, and no two people's maps will be the same.
~ Mary Schmich
You know how many movies it took Tom Cruise before he was making 5, 6 million dollars? It probably took a billion dollars in box office.
~ Jason Patric
Making movies is a dangerous job. Because you are always the one who stands at the center of the universe when making movies.
~ Emir Kusturica
I think you get less takes on TV than in movies.
~ Evan Peters
I just like that dynamic in relationships in movies where they're kind of lovers as rivals, you know?
~ Marc Webb
This is how I feel about horror films: there's enough scary things that happen in day-to-day life. Sometimes just going and getting the mail is scary, when you open your bills. And so, sometimes I feel like scary movies are just tapping into those anxieties and magnifying them.
~ Josh Hamilton
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
~ Malcolm X
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
~ George Bernard Shaw
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
~ Jesse Ventura
I want America to be more like America, if you will. I want the songs, that patriotism we have.
~ Mitt Romney
Most Italians who came to this country are very patriotic. There was this exciting possibility that if you worked real hard, and you loved something, you could become successful.
~ Francis Ford Coppola
If you are tired of partisanship over patriotism, you need to vote for a change in direction.
~ Jennifer Granholm
During President George W. Bush's two terms, you couldn't drive far without seeing a particular bumper sticker: 'Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.'
~ Monica Crowley
Well, the post office is probably not the place you want to go if you want to be infused with patriotism and a renewed sense of vigor.
~ Adam Carolla
