Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I'm not always happy with that.
There are different reasons to make movies.
Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.
But then, even with sex, I'm more in the school of less is more in movies.
I went to the opening of 'Sister Act,' and I had such a great time. I had no idea what it was about, and I had never seen the movies. But I heard the show went through some major last-minute craziness in previews, and man, opening night was really fun and really entertaining.
I used to always sing my way into the movies and the basketball games or whatever. I'd sing for whoever's on the door, and they'd let me in. I used to think I was Nat King Cole back in the day, you know. So I'd sing something like, 'Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you,' and they'd let me in.
I was very driven in high school. I worked a bunch of odd jobs. I never partied. I never drank. I was just a theater geek who was obsessed with movies.
A lot of people get emotional in movies that are cartoons, but not in TV shows.
If you lined up 10 writers and asked them to write a movie about Steve Jobs, you'd get 10 very different movies.
I watched so many movies when I was a kid, and I'd watch them over and over.
My favorite types of movies definitely aren't thrillers, but at the same time you can't deny the genius of Hitchcock's films.
I worked with Ismail Merchant on 'The Mystic Masseur,' I did 'Sakina's Restaurant,' I've done plays, I've been on Broadway, I've done movies, I've done TV... but nothing has had the pop culture penetrative impact as 'The Daily Show' has. It's the nature of the beast.
The average Indian doesn't care about Hollywood movies because they have far too many movies of their own to watch, to miss, and I hope a story like 'Million Dollar Arm,' that is actually about India and deals with these two Indian kids, resonates over there and makes people want to go and see the movie.
Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie. If you happen to like my films, it's because my films provide a bed for you on which you can find your creativity. The Hollywood movies do not provide that for you.
My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.
Movies can provide tear-inducing or comically-entertaining representations of love, but many agree that its deeper conflicting complexities often seem unfathomable.
Movie-making is serious business. The director and the crew are already under a lot of pressure to give their best to the audience. Therefore, the best part for me as an actor is to act well in the movies and make a jolly atmosphere with the co-stars on the sets.
I love animated movies in general. I like making them.
I'm drawn to scenes in movies where you just see characters turning off lights in a room or putting the groceries away; it's like, 'I understand that.' We all have to get ready for bed, and we all do it in a different way, and yet it's all strangely familiar and strangely human.
One of the things I think I can do in my lifetime is stop to remind myself that - and keep affirming that - women can sell movies.
Movies have been my way to get out of my backyard. I'm trying to let people know that movies change people's lives.
What's so cool about movies is once you're done with the movie, you put it away and come up with a whole new different idea with different characters and a different world. But in TV, you build these characters, and you build this world, and then you're there for however long you do the show.
With 'Girls'... I feel like there's an impulse to try to make it look better or neater or more perfect, and when I watch theater, television, movies, it's always the imperfection I'm always more attracted to.
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts.
Some of my movies hold the bottom rankings on Rotten Tomatoes.
I would make hockey movies: I would edit together Flyers games and do highlight reels of goals or fights, which I still have to this day.
If you Google a list and just see all the movies that came out in 1984, they're classics, and they define that decade.
I got really into Martin Scorsese as a teenager, so then it was kind of the whole reason I wanted to be an actor. Just like tons of young actors, I think, get freaked out by the Scorsese/DeNiro movies. I loved all his movies in the '90s, too. Then I got a part in 'The Aviator' and couldn't believe it.
I feel like a lot of my past career was going to film school, making a lot of different kinds of movies. I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.
How many actors have a shot at being a part of something that became a part of pop culture? It's been very rewarding. I'm not getting the 20 million bucks for the new movies, but at least I'm getting warmth and recognition from people wherever I go.
I grew up watching 'Rambo' and 'Rocky' and all of those movies, so you have a surreal moment, even as an actor, when you're in front of these guys, whether it's DeNiro or Stallone. You have a moment like, 'Geez, that's Sylvester Stallone,' and then you have to snap out of it and get back in the pocket of the character.
I think I have done some nice movies. But, I dream of playing the character that Amitabh Bachchan had played in 'Deewaar.'
'Luke Cage' came out in 1972 at the height of the blaxploitation era. It was a literary response to this notion of blaxploitation movies. It was the first time in American culture that Hollywood was embracing black movies.
When I was in a couple of movies in the '80s, I was winging it.
In today's world, America's soft power is commonly thought to reside in the global popularity of Hollywood movies, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Starbucks.
When I was a kid, it wasn't very often that I could go to the movies and see an entire movie carried on the shoulders of someone who looked like me.
I don't believe in superheroes but I love Batman movies. There's a part of every person that is entertained by the idealistic, the fantastic.
I was studying to be an architect, I wasn't plotting to join the movies. Films were just another career option. I took acting up with the same schoolgirl enthusiasm I had for examinations. Acting is a job and I take it very seriously.
No matter how many movies I do, 'Kakka Muttai' will be one of my best movies.
In Chennai, we have the beach for entertainment, but in places like Trichy, Salem, and Coimbatore, movies are the only entertainment.
I was a student of law as my grandmother wanted me to be a lawyer. But my passion has always been movies.
I am in movies basically for the money, and frankly, I have a hard time believing those who say they act for the love of acting!
In the second half of primary school, I liked live-action shows and giant-monster movies, and then in junior high, I got into regular movies.
What is important for me is that people are liking my movies, I am liking my work, for which I am very happy.
If I get good stories, then I don't mind working for multi-starrer movies.
I love to just go to the movies, watch movies, listen to the scores and all that 'cause that's, like, the next step for me.
I ultimately wanna do big movies, and I've been so close so many times. They keep giving my roles to girls with just a little more exposure than me.
Luck, I never looked to make difficult movies on purpose. You make the films you can make.
All the violence in videos and movies, you can't tell me that that wouldn't influence a disturbed person.
I've been really enjoying writing articles and writing music and music for movies.
