- 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 on Movies
- Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
- Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.
- Antonio Banderas on Movies
- Making movies is just like betting on horses at the racetrack.
- Maureen O'Hara on Movies
- Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works, it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work, it's almost just as fascinating.
- Julia Roberts on Movies
- Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.
- J. J. Abrams on Movies
- Man, I love the 'Lord of the Rings' movies. Some people would say I'm weird for liking those types of movies, but they are so cool.
- Robert Griffin III on Movies
- Maybe when I stop making movies, I'll understand my work better.
- Dario Argento on Movies
- Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
- Chuck Palahniuk on Movies
- More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services - from movies to agriculture to national defense.
- Marc Andreessen on Movies
- Most movies suck, even the independent ones. Hollywood is like baseball: Hit three good ones out of 10 and you're a Hall of Famer.
- Denis Leary on Movies
- Most movies, once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end.
- John Cusack on Movies
- Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.
- Manuel Puig on Movies
- Most of the time it's the role. Sometimes it's the story and sometimes it just the paycheck. It's the little movies that come out as stories or the fact that I have work to go out, you know what I'm saying, you can only be out so long without work, you start getting antsy.
- Morgan Freeman on Movies
- Most of us do not consciously look at movies.
- Roger Ebert on Movies
- Movies about space raise those questions of what we're doing here, and that inevitably introduces a spiritual dimension.
- Danny Boyle on Movies
- Movies absorb our attention more completely, I think.
- Roger Ebert on Movies
- Movies always are open to being remade because times change so much, and the tempo of movies changes. I think of it like a James Bond. They can have different actors play the same role... I've had people come up to me and say, 'We want to remake 'The Jerk' with so and so.' And I say, 'Fine.' It just doesn't bother me. It's an honor actually.
- Steve Martin on Movies
- Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.
- Yahoo Serious on Movies
- Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
- Charlie Chaplin on Movies
- Movies are about escape.

- Albert Brooks on Movies

- Robert De Niro on Movies
- Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.
- Tim Burton on Movies
- Movies are like magic tricks.
- Jeff Bridges on Movies
- Movies are movies, and I don't think any of them are going to hurt the moral fiber of America and all that nonsense.
- Richard Pryor on Movies
- Movies are movies, television is television.
- Dirk Benedict on Movies
- Movies are movies: they take you back in time, and how it still is for some.
- Tina Turner on Movies
- Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me like I would die for it.
- Quentin Tarantino on Movies
- Movies are not about the weekend that they're released, and in the grand scheme of things, that's probably the most unimportant time of a film's life.
- Quentin Tarantino on Movies
- Movies are not scripts - movies are films they're not books, they're not the theatre.
- Nicolas Roeg on Movies
- Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.
- Juliette Binoche on Movies
- Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
- Wim Wenders on Movies
- Movies are very subjective.
- Jeff Bridges on Movies
- Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
- Walt Disney on Movies
- Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.
- Ivan Reitman on Movies
- Movies for adults sucked in the 1980s, and music for adults sucked even worse whether we're talking about Kathleen Turner flicks or Sting albums, the decade's non-teen culture has no staying power at all.
- Rob Sheffield on Movies
- Movies have takes. But plays are like life - you don't really get takes.
- Chris Rock on Movies
- Movies have to handle time very efficiently. They're about stringing scenes together in the present. Novels aren't necessarily about that.
- Richard Russo on Movies
- Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.
- Orlando Bloom on Movies
- Movies make you immortal and ageless.
- Kristin Scott Thomas on Movies
- Movies such as 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' in 1939 to 'Dave' in 1993 portray Washington leaders as the ultimate Everymen - decent people just like you and me, only thrust onto greatness.
- Ron Fournier on Movies
- Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends, and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny, and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.
- Billy Bob Thornton on Movies
- Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.
- Mandy Patinkin on Movies
- Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.
- David Mamet on Movies
