With great power comes great responsibility.

I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you.

Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There’s a movie theater.

I don’t walk around like I’m a movie star because I don’t think of myself as a movie star. People usually don’t even notice me.

Eli: Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my...

I don’t think I really have a talent for movie acting.

I couldn’t say no to jobs and I couldn’t say no to drugs. I’d get high from a movie, I’d be somebody else because I didn’t particularly like me, so long as I had a...

Look at every action movie in Hollywood. Every leading man from Spider-Man to Batman to James Bond, ‘Bourne Identity’, every one of them possesses martial arts skills.

To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don’t think is a good ride.

My inners are not organs. They’re actually mechanics, so I have a hole in my back, wind me up like the movie ‘Hugo,’ and then just say, ‘Act,’ you know?

If I see a movie on TV that I’m in, I usually will watch it for that reason: It’s like I’m watching another person.

I did a movie called ‘Clueless’ when I was first starting out. And with that paycheck, I went and bought a car, which I had no use for, because I lived in New York City,...

I’m a fan of the western genre. When I see a character actor, I see a whole movie behind a scene before and after. There’s a whole other movie behind it.

I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didn’t like me. I guess I wasn’t a certain type.

My favorite TV show ever is ‘Boy Meets World,’ and my favorite movie is ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.’

‘Pied Piper’ came to me all at once; I wanted to do a fairy-tale movie with some edge, but not ‘dark,’ per se.

I recently finished a job, an HBO movie ‘Getting On,’ a very dark comedy. It comes from a British series of the same name. In this role I have no hair, no make up and...

The only sci-fi movie that I’ve ever been offered that, had circumstances been different, I would have definitely done, was ‘Avatar.’ And I literally couldn’t do it because of my schedule. But listening to James...

Movie without romance feels like food without flavor.

When you’re working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you’re doing.

It’s very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back.

We did this two-week boot camp before we filmed the movie. I got to know everybody in the group and we became friends. We got really tight throughout those two weeks.

Usually, you can shoot a movie in 10 or 12 weeks.

I think you could take any Bruckheimer movie and do it with puppets, and it would be screamingly funny.

It wasn’t like the movies, where you wake up from a coma and pick up where you left off. It’s like him growing up all over again.

Just because you have teenagers in a movie doesn’t make it a teen movie.

We want to make as many movies commercially available online as possible,

Sleep” that’s sure to put everybody to the title. The whole movie will look like an extended blink. That way, if anybody asks if you’ve seen it, and you say No, you fell asleep halfway...

Making this movie was a great opportunity for me to explore high-definition. I’m glad I got to see what the challenges are, what makes it better. It works wonderfully.

I think once you’ve finished a movie you really have to detach from it so that you can come back and watch it as an audience member.

You know, OJ was a really nice guy, and he knew his lines. He was nice to everybody on the set. He got to be a better actor, I thought, with every movie.

The movie ‘Black Cat,’ from 1934, is one of my favorite movies.

What’s exciting about watching a movie, when it’s finished, is you sometimes you don’t recognize yourself, and that’s when I’m really proud.

You can’t please everyone… If you make a good movie, that’s all that matters.

If Mozart were alive today, I don’t think there’s any question he’d be writing for the movies. This was a guy who was always looking for ways to make money, and soundtracks can be a...

People tend to compartmentalize themselves into IT people, and movie star people, and scientists, but when we share our perspectives about nature, we find a common denominator.

If you’re in a series, you can’t quit, you can’t work in the theatre and you can’t do a movie when you like.

I’m my own artist, and I see artists as movies. No one should try to change them for anything. If you don’t like it, you just don’t follow it. And if you don’t like a...

On the one hand, the businessman in me understands it. But the lover of movies in me wants desperately to hang on to the movie house as a collective experience with the audience.

I could never be like Hitchcock and do only one kind of movie. Anything that’s good is worthwhile.

As soon as you’re finished shooting, you have to go into the edit room and choose all of the shots that you’re going to commit to because the visual effects vendor has to get it...

What do we do know?(Peeta)I guess we try to forget…(Katniss)I don’t want to forget.(Peeta)

Me, as a moviegoer, before being a filmmaker, I try to think about what movie I would like to see.

Just as sometimes I wondered if Grandpa had ever existed, sometimes I wondered if I truly existed myself. As I was running, I could see myself from outside myself: a skinny girl with the flapping...

The hardest thing for me about making movies, and that included ‘M*A*S*H’ because it was made like a movie, was starting and stopping.

You know, I never expected to enter the movie business.

I haven’t been approached to do a ‘Doctor Who’ movie. I think they would be scraping the bottom of the barrel if they asked me to do it.

I did movie star impressions as a kid in high school. Somehow they just got out of hand.

The American marketplace is one conditioned by commercial movies, and the American moviegoer is in the greatest part a commercial moviegoer. They don’t have much patience for high end.

My folks made me a Jawa costume for the Halloween after ‘Star Wars’ opened in ’77. In ’78, when it was re-released, I was hired by the local cinema to be the Jawa: to dress...
