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.

With great power comes great responsibility.

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

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.

I knew I had to get out of Boston and stop making movies there, at least for one movie, otherwise no one would ever consider me for a movie that took place south of Providence.

If a movie doesn’t even have financing yet, they’ll do a table read for it at a casting director’s office with actors, for the producer and the writer, just to hear if the movie is...

It’s something we have to do, but it has to be done well, … These movies are so expensive we have to be careful … We’re pretty close. Hopefully by the end of this year...

I’d love to do an action movie. Something with lots of stunts. Anything fast and dangerous and involving guns.

If there had been zombies on the iceberg when the Titanic hit it, that would have made a much better movie.

I think Steven Spielberg has first movies! Martin Scorsese has first movies. I don’t just jump into something. I like the whole audition process.

I never want to turn something down because I’m afraid to do it, because of some idea of image or whatever. That was never anything I set out to do. In fact, the opposite, I...

We create our own enemies

What is a movie star? It is an illusion. It was everything I ever wanted to be, but it became a kind of shell, non? It was what made me famous and got me women....

If I do a movie where I have to have a son and it’s a chubby kid, my mother is always like, ‘You were never like that.’ She gets so upset about it.

I didn’t know anything about movies or movie stars or the Academy or anything. I was just a blank sheet of paper. I was totally ignorant of all that stuff. I never went to the...

I think I approach my choices much the way I approach the way I consume movies and TV and stuff. I like everything, and sometimes I’ll feel like a horror movie, and sometimes I’ll just...

I didn’t have money to eat when I was 21. When I was short on cash, I would sometimes scam food from fast food places. I’d go into fast food chains and pretend I was...

We finally settled on Francis Ford Coppola’s version of Dracula, which, unfortunately, Gabriel seemed to think was a comedy. I think it was the combination of Keanu Reeves’s British accent and Gary Oldman’s elderly Count...

One of the pleasures of going to the movies for me is quite simply to see new ways, to think about broader ways or to challenge something as a given. It’s usually people from outside,...

Time spent for temporary happiness like movie or outing or weekend on a beach is all synthetic; with shelf life of a day or two. Work for your bigger dreams that should last for whole...

I’ll be honest – I never saw myself making a ninja movie, never entertained the idea. I think ninja films can be quite cheesy unless you do them in feudal Japan.

I think making a movie is like drawing or creating an art piece. The artwork reflects part of your personality, but not all.

Sometimes when you’re editing a movie, you have the thing that you don’t expect – which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.

Solara: I didn’t think you’d ever give up the book, I thought it was too important to youEli: It was, I was carrying and reading it everyday, got so caught up in protecting it, I...

And now it looks like I’m probably going to shoot a movie that I wrote. I got the money to do it, and I would star and all, because of being on Howard.

I’m a singer and working on my second album. I write and produce. There is so much more that satisfies me. So there’s not just this one ambition to become an American movie star. Because...

You can’t show a four-hour movie in a theater, really.

I always have a moment when I know I’m designing the last costume that gets made for a movie, and it’s always been floating up there, but it’s kind of the last one. That’s always...

We always seem to be a bit surprised that our children are reflecting stuff that we are showing them. I don’t know about you, but every movie that I saw when I was a kid,...

Every time I make a movie, I’m prepared for it to become influential and career-defining – but I have no control over these things.

It’s one of those things where if I do a movie, I don’t even know if I’m any good. So, I may do one and it sucks and I’m a horrible actor, and I’ll never...

If there was another Dr. Quinn movie, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Not even my excellent training at Juilliard prepared me for my first movie role, where I played a transsexual who falls in love with a military guy in ‘Soldier’s Girl.’

I didn’t know Charlie before doing the movie, but I was a huge fan of the British Queer as Folk.

In a year when the average box office of the movies nominated by the Academy was the lowest since 1984, we believe our list of the top movies better reflects the taste and spirit of...

I have kept working, even if I’ve thrown off the big movies I used to do. I still have three or four wonderful little movies coming out.

Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.

It hadn’t been so long ago, yet sometimes she felt that she’d been an altogether different person back then.

I was playing a relatively high level of hockey, and I thought that’s what I wanted to do. But I had my first movie audition, and I was hooked.

As a viewer, the minute I start getting confused, I check out of the movie. Emotionally, I’m severed.

The past is just a story we tell ourselves.

When I was younger I saw a movie called ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Those two actors and that movie was my inspiration to want to be an...

My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don’t know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I...

I guess what’s most surprised me in most of the reviews is that they don’t seem to get the noir story in the dream sequence, so they analyze it like a straight noir movie.

In a movie we try to deceive. In theaters, as they say, the deceived are the wisest.

I always had a weird thing with being the last person somewhere… like a movie theater or a classroom. I get a weird sense of anxiety.

Watch a movie that makes you laugh or listen to a song that makes you cry. Embrace your emotions and be proud of what you feel.

To die would be an awfully big adventure.

[When asked about his thoughts on gods]I think it’s like a movie that was way too popular. It’s a story that’s been told too many times and just doesn’t mean anything. Man lived on the...

It’s like the old rule-if you introduce a gun into the first act of a play, it’s going to be used in the third act. So if you do a movie about criminals, you have...
