I've made 122 movies, and I daresay there's a picture of mine showing somewhere in the world every day.
The script is a blueprint for the film - there are very few bad scripts that make good movies. If you really like the character and understand the utility it serves within the movie, that's a part of my process.
When we are part of mainstream cinema, we want our movies to be seen by maximum viewers.
I love movies, but I would love to write as many graphic novels as people would read from me.
I like cable: you only work four months out of the year and have the other eight months to do movies if you want.
We used to go to movies to see stories about ourselves. It would transport us to new worlds and we'd see aspects of ourselves reflected back.
I wanted to escape Small Town U.S.A. To dismiss the boundaries, to explore. My life experience came from watching movies, TV, and reading books and magazines. When your culture comes from watching TV everyday, you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool, places that seem interesting, people who have jobs and careers and opportunities.
Books are better than movies because you design the set the way you want it to look.
I was in 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,' and I like my bad boy movie movies.
Hollywood is finally waking up to the fact that people who go to church also go to the movies. I'm not sure what took them so long to see that or how long they'll keep it up.
I do like going to the movies, but I like eating tons of sweets and ice cream, so I can't go to the movies anymore.
I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.
Make movies that you want to go and watch in a theatre.
It's the story that counts.
Cinema is entertainment, and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything.
What I think I'm perceived as in France is, like, I'm this leading man always doing strange movies because most of the movies I did, like 'Irreversible' or 'Brotherhood of the Wolf' and a bunch of others, and even in France, they always come out as a particular movie, not like the typical French kind of movies that people know most of the time.
You make movies for the people. If critics happen to like them too, well, that's a home run.
I'm not a nerd, obviously. Do I look like one? I'm not someone who sits at home and doesn't like to go out, doesn't like to watch movies. I like to live my life.
I'm not someone who sits at home and doesn't like to go out, doesn't like to watch movies. I like to live my life.
My lifestyle doesn't really account for movies. I can't even remember what I last saw.
I prefer to do movies, just for the simple fact that in TV, there's not much of a guarantee. They can pull the plug on you.
When I was young, I too enjoyed the charm of the glitzy world of movies. Life changed for me after marriage. My priority and focus was my family.
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
Streaming TV shows, movies, and other types of video over the Internet to all manner of devices, once a fringe habit, is now a squarely mainstream practice. Even people still paying for cable or satellite service often also have Netflix or Hulu accounts.
There's nothing better than going to the movies and going into another world, and forgetting about everything that's happening outside.
There are certain sounds that have a loaded past. Like the sound of a harp, if you go back to old movies, represents a dream sequence; it transports you there.
My father didn't do a lot of direct education. My mother was the direct educator. She would put on these movies on American Movie Classics when we got cable, after my parents got divorced, which took like four or five years.
When you keep things responsible and manageable, you can make some interesting movies that you maybe couldn't make otherwise.
When I'm writing fiction, I read nonfiction or biographies. Now I'm watching very old movies or old foreign films. I don't immerse myself in whatever's going on in whatever area I'm working in.
I'm not attracted to naturalism, I'm not attracted to behavior, I'm attracted to dance. I'm attracted to gesture, I'm attracted to singing with your voice, as opposed to having a natural manner. I'm a theater actor first, so that probably influences a lot of my approach. And I think in many ways, naturalism has ruined movies.
Coming from where I came from, the Midwest, in the era I was born, the '30s, movies were glorious fun - Bette Davis dying or whatever. But whatever they were, they were not serious.
There's only three movies I've been involved with in my whole life that I really care about. 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' was one, and 'Princess Bride' was the second, and 'Hearts in Atlantis' is the third.
In my opinion, animation will continue to thrive as long as there are children, parents, television, movies and the need to laugh.
I made over forty Westerns. I used to lie awake nights trying to think up new ways of getting on and off a horse.
'Wayne's World' is one of the best movies of all time.
I'm not a real movie star. I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.
There's only one thing that can kill the movies, and that's education.
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.
I loved movies, but I can't remember ever really wanting to be an actress, and I certainly didn't imagine ever being in a movie. I think I wanted to be a writer.
I was unusual looking - I didn't have the look of that time. If you look at 'Lucas' - and, basically, my first five or six movies - the characters are not described in the scripts as attractive people.
If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.
If my films make one more person miserable, I'll feel I have done my job.
The scene of independent cinema is already a large scene in America, and not in a negative way, but it's cluttered. It's very populated with just American films, so the room left for foreign movies is not extremely vast. The American public also does not really read. They don't read subtitles. But we're like that in Canada, too.
I think that life in Israel is sometimes bigger than the movies.
Dumb & Dumber' is one of my and Glock's favorite movies. We do stuff in real life that's just like they do in that movie.
I love to watch old movies when I get time off.
I think in movies, in television, and in advice columns, often there's this idea that what people are really attracted to is confidence. And I think people, especially young men, sometimes misinterpret that to mean being brash, or trying to be an alpha.
Brad Pitt has something about him to where he's played different characters in all his movies, and every single time after he's done, I want to be him.
