- Television is where the best work for women is right now. I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
- Julie Bowen on Movies
- That's the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office, you will be offered more movies. It doesn't matter if you're a nice guy or you're a prick. If your movies do well, there's a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It's not any more complicated than that.
- Matt Damon on Movies
- The best movies are simple.
- Shia LaBeouf on Movies
- The best movies have one sentence that they're exploring, a thesis, something that people can argue about over dinner afterward.
- Helen Hunt on Movies
- The cardinal sin in sports, what could really wreck it, is not cheating to win, which has gone on forever, but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports' appeal, which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed, they're no different from movies they're scripted.
- Michael Mandelbaum on Movies
- The core of the movie business remains intact and it's not descending in scope. Studios want movies that are bigger than ever.
- Joel Silver on Movies
- The dubbing of the music and effects is really incredible today. You're feeling gun shots. I mean, it's not the way people say it is, but the gunshot sounds real. And cars sound real. Among the many things in the evolution (of movies) is to make the sound in the movie incredible. That's what you feel.
- Joel Silver on Movies
- The financial implode is bound to be reflected in the movies that are being made, there's no question.
- Clive Owen on Movies
- The first two movies I directed failed, when I was 21 and 23, and that was the greatest thing that could have happened.
- M. Night Shyamalan on Movies
- The guy that made me wanna make movies... and this is off the wall-is a guy named Michael Pal, the British director.
- George A. Romero on Movies
- The guys in my band are great-we watch movies, we eat pizza, take walks, read books. Everybody has a really great sense of humor. And my boyfriend comes and visits me on the road.
- The irony is that you can't use real rain to make movies.
- Greg Kinnear on Movies
- The kind of pace that you want to use in a Western - just to acknowledge the land in the distance that everyone has to travel, and the way things develop sort of slowly - it's almost the antithetical of what's currently going on in the movies, you know.
- Lawrence Kasdan on Movies
- The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.
- Alfred Hitchcock on Movies
- The long and short of it is that I am now in a position in England to green light movies, and that's really excellent - not high-budget movies, but movies none the less.
- Idris Elba on Movies
- The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is, the harder it is to get it financed. That's why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies.
- David Cronenberg on Movies
- The movies and the parts I'm being offered are becoming better and better.
- Vanessa Paradis on Movies
- The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.
- Will Rogers on Movies
- The movies have got more corporate, they're making fewer movies in general, and those they are making are all $200-$300m tent-pole releases that eat up all the oxygen.
- John Cusack on Movies
- The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.
- Christina Ricci on Movies
- The movies I made when I was 14 or 15, I have a hard time looking at those. Those were the awkward years. I don't know if anybody can look at something they did when they were 14 and not wince.
- Jodie Foster on Movies
- The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read - those are important to me. It's very important to me, and I don't know what I would do without those things.
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt on Movies
- The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.
- The movies that are made more thoughtfully or made or with more ambition often get just get drowned out by the noise.
- Roger Ebert on Movies
- The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words.
- Sam Mendes on Movies
- The movies that made me want to make movies were action movies, and thrillers, and Kurosawa films, you know, where you have an opportunity every day to shoot it in an unusual way. I was looking for something like that.
- Lawrence Kasdan on Movies
- The movies we love and admire are to some extent a function of who we are when we see them.
- Mary Schmich on Movies
- The movies were custard compared to politics.
- Nancy Reagan on Movies
- The music led to the acting. But movies aren't something you can just will yourself into. Someone has to choose you, and you have to be quite fortunate to be chosen.
- The nature of motion capture is only going to work for certain films. It's not going to put any other type of movies out of business.
- The nature of the movies is different than it was five years ago, and they're all driven by the possibilities of CGI, which means you can make anything happen on screen that you can possibly desire.
- The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.
- Elvis Presley on Movies
- The novel succeeds on terms exclusive to literature. A good film succeeds on terms exclusive to the cinema. That's why so many bad novels can become good movies, like 'Jaws' or 'The Godfather.'
- Alexander Payne on Movies
- The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is, you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money.
- Ben Affleck on Movies
- The one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable, like taking the kids to movies and theme parks.
- Barbara Ehrenreich on Movies
- The only problem is I can't get into PG-13 Land. I just get stuck in R rated movies, which they would love us to make PG-13 movies but I never get there. But I think that you've got to make them different. You've got to switch them up.
- Joel Silver on Movies
- The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.
- Bette Davis on Movies
- The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well, after a while you don't get to make any more movies.
- Joaquin Phoenix on Movies
- The only thing I can't do is hear. I can drive, I have a life with four kids, I work on TV, I do movies, so the deafness question, is it that they want to know because, what? Not sure.
- Marlee Matlin on Movies
- The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.
- Ewan McGregor on Movies
- The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day.
- Sam Mendes on Movies
- The person that made me want to make movies, and the reason I do films, is Bruce Lee. He was an incredible actor, and he had a lot of charisma. Handsome, action, you know, everything was there. I loved Bruce Lee.
- The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.
- Rachel McAdams on Movies
- The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour.
- Laura Dern on Movies
- The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.
- Meryl Streep on Movies
- The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.
- Joaquin Phoenix on Movies
- The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn't have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored.
- Scott Caan on Movies
- The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
- George Lucas on Movies
- The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.
- Alex Winter on Movies
- The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.
- Jason Statham on Movies
