I’ll be there someday, I can go the distance.I will find my way, if I can be strong.I know every mile, will be worth my while,When I go the distance, I’ll be right where I...

I like movies a lot, and I feel really excited when I see a movie that moves me the right way.

The worst thing you can do to a filmmaker is to walk out of his film and go, ‘That was a nice movie.’ But if you can cause people to walk out and then argue...

In general, I think you can watch a movie in two different ways. One is the ethical point of view, one is the point of view of the story.

I mean, I don’t mind promoting a movie, or talking to the press if it’s going to be used in some way.

Unless you’re trying to make a movie on the sly, there’s no way to get around this. If you want to use public spaces, film on the streets, have the cooperation of the police, you...

I’ve seen all of the movies. I’m an old-school Bond fan. Sean Connery is our band’s favorite Bond. Shirley feels a kinship with him because they’re both from Scotland.

It may be a mistake to say this, but I know my limitations as an actor and I know what I can and can not do. Robert De Niro can do everything. I can’t. A...

I would really like to do a movie. Schedule-wise I don’t know when exactly, but I think it would be great to do a Portlandia movie. Some of my favorite television shows have done it...

I cried during Old Yeller. Not the part when the dog got shot, but in the beginning, just before the movie actually starts.

First and foremost, you have to make the movie for yourself. And that’s not to say, to hell with everyone else, but what else have you got to go on but your own taste and...

As a storyteller, when you’re writing a movie and when you’re directing, you want to keep people entertained. That’s the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining.

A good horror movie should have peaks and valleys, a good horror movie should move you emotionally; a good horror movie should be exciting to watch and energizing in a weird kind of way.

We were overwhelmed by the response to this. Names came from everywhere. Past presidents, well known movies, names based on the penguins’ black and white coloring and names that translated into different languages.

Life is not a PG feel-good movie. Real life often ends badly. Literature tries to document this reality, while showing us it is still possible for us to endure nobly.

ARE YOU A MOVIE STAR?Prerequisite for Laziness: Creativity, award winning actor/actress, convincing speech

I am an actress. I am not a movie star.

I always had a dream about trying to make a movie that had no dialogue in it, that was just music and pictures. I still haven’t done it yet, but I tried to get close...

People who would go to an arthouse cinema and watch a Swedish movie and read subtitles… it’s a small percentage.

I had a dream about you while having a dream about you. We were watching the movie Inception and drinking déjà vu.

So a failed movie is not going to ruin my career.

I’m inspired by my master’s movie ‘Kerd ma lui,’ Bruce Lee’s ‘Fists of Fury,’ and Jackie Chan’s ‘Police Story.’

On Fantastic Mr. Fox, I got used to working with animated storyboards as a way of planning for the shoot. We did a lot of sequences that way with this movie. Partly as a result...

The first ‘Star Wars’ movie had come out in 1977 and had become this huge phenomenon with all the toys and everything – it just kind of swept America. But internationally, it was also a...

You can be the lead in a movie just for the sake of being a lead in a movie, or you can just be in a good movie.

If my life were still a movie, this is the part that would end up on the cutting room floor. We were all just fill-ins for a long-running soap opera. The actors changed, but the...

I want to entertain people, whether it be with a comedy, a drama or a movie. An idea’s an idea.

I watched ‘Ghostbusters’ from the age of four. It’s my favorite movie, still. Bill Murray’s, like, the weirdest straight man that you’ve ever seen. He’s convinced that he’s the normal one, even though he’s definitely...

If I’m going to write a book every American will want to read, it’s got to have lots of pictures. Those pictures must also move, and all the words in the book must be spoken...

I’ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I’m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don’t want to do that. It just makes me feel...

As far as… what they’ve given me so far, in the last two movies — I feel like I have the most kind of tortured character in the movies and so it’s always great to...

There are some movie stars in Hollywood that are so scared, they also tell the reporter that they are recording them, in case there is something wrong with what they wrote about them in the...

I’m gonna do four or five of these movies, and it’s going to become my career. I’ll have to keep expanding the bat suit, because I get fatter every year. I’ll be bankrupt. I’ll be...

The sky is an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what’s happening up there.

I played a bass player and a singer in a movie once, but I totally lip-synced to everything.

I will never become a director or a movie producer. I was always looking at picture directing because I didn’t know what to do! You can’t be a movie director without real preparation.

I had already made, like, 25 movies, playing a variety of roles, and it was a very frustrating time, … I really couldn’t get a job, and the only jobs I could get were, like,...

I don’t like the term ‘chick flick.’ I think it denigrates a movie. It has overtones of talking down to women, like they are second best.

I wasn’t trying to top Pulp Fiction with Jackie Brown. I wanted to go underneath it and make a more modest character study movie.

And if you’re a golfer and you watch a golf film and Matt Damon swing, and it’s not great, then you’re not going to believe in the golf story, you’re not going to believe in...

I would say the biggest difference is that a movie is a shorter, more encapsulated experience, and a TV job is like having a regular day job where you get to do what you love.

After I made my hit in ‘Salome,’ Universal sent me to New York so I could learn to be a proper movie star.

I don’t champion the idea of being in a Hollywood movie. I never had fun in one of them.

If my ‘mind’ don’t mind, I don’t mind.

I don’t watch trailers, I like to go into every movie fresh.

I learn from every movie I do because on every movie I have a different experience.

Sleepy Hollow had a lot of action in it, even though it was a fairy-tale movie.

There’s a lot going on at the end of the movie,

I would sign on for projects that were meant to shoot in July, and then they would postponed and they would bleed into the following semester, and then I’d take a semester off, and then...

You know, we’ve got to this place, where you go to a movie for one particular surgical fix. So, it’s like, I want the pulse-pounding action, or the insane falling-off-my-seat comedy, or the devastating, heart-breaking...
