- I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.
- Charlize Theron on Movies
- I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights.
- Frank Miller on Movies
- I grew up watching all these crazy movies, European movies and stuff, and I guess that I always laughed at things that were a little more offbeat.
- Louis C. K. on Movies
- I grew up watching Steven Spielberg and scary movies.
- M. Night Shyamalan on Movies
- I grew up watching those blaxploitation movies. Ron O'Neal, Richard Roundtree, Jim Brown, Pam Grier. For the first time, I saw 'The Negro' get one over on 'The Man.'
- Samuel L. Jackson on Movies
- I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half, and since then I've asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That's really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.
- Leonardo DiCaprio on Movies
- I guess I watch movies to make myself happier a lot.
- Mike Mills on Movies
- I guess maybe I try to make movies that are closer to real life than are many Hollywood movies. But I still try to stay within a commercial narrative, a contemporary American vernacular.
- Alexander Payne on Movies
- I guess you could say I've been in my share of violent movies.
- Daniel Craig on Movies
- I had a couple of movies that I was passionately involved with that I could never get made. 'Richard Pryor,' I wrote for - gosh - over a year. That was close to getting made for two-and-a-half years after that. We're still pushing it, you know. It is weird. Suddenly you wake up and it's like, 'God, five years have gone by.'
- Bill Condon on Movies
- I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.
- Jane Campion on Movies
- I had done some flimflam movies, but I didn't understand what being an actor meant anymore.
- Liam Neeson on Movies
- I had seen movies before that that had made me laugh, but I had never seen anything even remotely close to as funny as Richard Pryor was, just standing there talking.
- I had the standard movie geek childhood, because for as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was make movies.
- Paul Thomas Anderson on Movies
- I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.
- Kristen Stewart on Movies
- I hadn't made a big-budget film, and in Hollywood there's a sort of man and boys situation. You're a man, you make $80 million movies! As if it's harder to make an $80 million movie. Well, I guess businesswise it is because you have more executives to argue with.
- Gus Van Sant on Movies
- I happen to be interested in watching a face age. I like faces of women aging so it makes me personally quite sad. That's a beautiful gift from God. If people don't want to see that anymore then I won't be in anymore movies.
- Debra Winger on Movies
- I hate movies that tell people what to think. I'm proud that Democrats thought 'Thank You For Smoking' was their film and Republicans thought it was theirs. I'm proud that pro-choice people thought 'Juno' was their film and pro-life people thought it was theirs.
- Jason Reitman on Movies
- I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.
- Paul Thomas Anderson on Movies
- I have a great job writing for 'The Office,' but, really, all television writers do is dream of one day writing movies. I'll put it this way: At the Oscars the most famous person in the room is, like, Angelina Jolie. At the Emmys the huge exciting celebrity is Bethenny Frankel. You get what I mean.
- Mindy Kaling on Movies
- I have a lot of repression. So repression is what I make movies about.
- I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies, like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity'.
- Nathan Fillion on Movies
- I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.
- Meryl Streep on Movies
- I have been in movies that I thought I wasn't very good in.
- Christopher Walken on Movies
- I have been pregnant in so many movies it's ridiculous.
- Jennifer Aniston on Movies
- I have done many movies that people hadn't seen. 'The Fountain,' I spent a year on that. 'The Prestige' with Chris Nolan, and 'Australia.' From my perspective it's very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don't. 'Wolverine,' 'X Men,' I know that in some level people know me just for that and it's fine for me.
- Hugh Jackman on Movies
- I have eclectic tastes in the movies I want to do.
- Nicolas Cage on Movies
- I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.
- Quentin Tarantino on Movies
- I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.
- J. J. Abrams on Movies
- I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.
- Tim Robbins on Movies
- I have realized that I hate going to the premieres of the movies that I'm in. Because I feel this tension after the movie is over that everyone feels obligated to say something nice to you. It's so unnatural and uncomfortable.
- Amanda Seyfried on Movies
- I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can't really move from it: it's on buses, in stores, it's everywhere. One of my kids has read the books the other two are too small but they like the movies.
- Gary Oldman on Movies
- I have to say I regretted giving up animated movies.
- Stanislav Grof on Movies
- I have worked on very good movies that have been buried, and I've worked on some resounding mediocrities that have been paraded through the marketplace like they were masterpieces.
- Tommy Lee Jones on Movies
- I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact, it's probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask, I wasn't offered all that many blonde bombshell parts, to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.
- Cameron Diaz on Movies
- I haven't seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it - see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes.
- Lawrence Kasdan on Movies
- I hear the way people talk about the children of famous people. They're not treated very well. The presumptions are usually quite awful. So I tried to establish myself with a couple of movies. After 'Juno' I thought: 'I think I've defined myself enough as my own director that I'd love to work with my father.'
- Jason Reitman on Movies
- I honestly don't love the Cheech and Chong movies, I've got to say.
- Seth Rogen on Movies
- I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.
- Taylor Lautner on Movies
- I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.
- J. J. Abrams on Movies
- I just feel like with independent movies... they're really free to do whatever they want. They're not afraid to make a statement about anything, and there's not a huge studio behind them making sure that everything is wholesome and politically correct and all that.
- Emma Roberts on Movies
- I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I'm attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before.
- Quentin Tarantino on Movies
- I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That's what my life was.
- Jennifer Lopez on Movies
- I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.
- Alex Winter on Movies
- I just like to act and write and produce. To me, making movies is the ultimate goal.
- Jonah Hill on Movies
- I just love movies, so suddenly, you're political about movies, and that's dark. It's just not fun when something you love becomes calculated.
- Kevin Smith on Movies
- I just love movies.
- Edward Norton on Movies
- I just think old old movies, they make you concentrate and pay attention so much more. They feel so warm. A lot of modern digital videotape, it's just too bright. Don't know why, it's not warm.
- Jack White on Movies
- I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.
- Leonardo DiCaprio on Movies
- I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them.
- Samuel L. Jackson on Movies
