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’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.

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...

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