Zitat des Tages von Matthew Vaughn:
What I learned very quickly is that if you get it right in the first two or three takes, it's not going to get that much better.
And writing I think is a gift that you have, the same as acting, in a way.
I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.
I'm a big believer that it doesn't matter what you call your company, nobody ever notices.
I'm a Star Wars fanatic.
Music is half the film.
You need cliches. Cliches are what people respond to.
Cliches are what make you understand something.
I think music is what takes the experience off the screen into your soul, into your head.
You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.
It's a juggernaut, yeah... but I'm not phased by making movies.
I think it's easier to make a film with 200 million dollars than 960 grand.
I think you should make a movie that has an audience.
Crime, money, power, drugs - are all linked.
You can't please everyone... If you make a good movie, that's all that matters.
I like doing as many special effects in camera, as much as possible.
I will never sign anything which makes me have to do more than one film.
I'm not an actor. I'm really bad in front of a camera. It wouldn't work.
I think movies glamorize violence, in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny.
I had a philosophy, which may have been proven right, that directing isn't as hard as everyone says it is.
Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.
My theory is that there's a knee-jerk reaction against technology in movie making.
People just want to watch movies that are entertaining, it doesn't matter what genre it is.
Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.
When I did 'Stardust,' I was fighting the studio for things I believed were right.
I like the X-Men, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.
So I am concerned about the amount of time we have to make it, cause it doesn't matter how much money you have, you can't create more time.
I'm not a member of a minority but I can empathize with what's going on.
Most of the movies nominated for Oscars put me to sleep.
I'll never be a good writer, and no chance of being a good actor.
So I think I sometimes will put a cliche in and then just pad it out so you're not noticing.
For me, I'm not Spielberg. I can't edit while filming another film.
High-concept one-liners were huge when I got my start in the film industry.
I'm a closet geek.
If it's scary, it's supposed to be scary. If it's funny, it's supposed to be funny. That's all I try to do.
I used to be very much Jekyll-and-Hyde, where the Jekyll in me would say, 'Keep to the budget, be responsible,' and Hyde would be like ,'Ah, we can do an extra shot or an extra day.'
