Zitat des Tages über Filme machen / Making Movies:
Some people think of me as an actor and some as a movie star, so I sort of guess that makes me both. I love making movies, and I love playing on the stage.
I love the intimacy of making movies. The focus is deeper and much more intense than musical theatre.
Making movies is great. It was like love at first sight; a whole new, different business. I can see why actors love it so much.
We did Holy Grail, and I got my name up there as one of the directors. After that, I started moving more and more down the line I wanted to, which was making movies.
I'll say, what makes me happy about making movies is, every once in a while through movies we find a kind of honesty. There's an honesty in fiction that's as effective or even more powerful than the honesty of our lives. We can find something that's genuinely true, like a chemistry between people or a statement that speaks to an audience.
I love making movies, but there's nothing like performing live.
Being a big star and being known, making movies and a lot of money - that really doesn't interest me.
I'll always have my skate life, but I absolutely like the fun of making movies.
I think acting is only one part of the piece of the movie. I'ts an important piece, but I'd like to be involved in all the other aspects of making movies.
I prefer movies because the money is better and certainly because you really know where you stand when you are making movies, and I have made a lot of them: 50-something - I don't know.
I believe in making movies very inexpensively; I think that way too much money is spent on making movies. Enough movies are being made, but not enough experimental ones.
Oh, man, you won't hear me talking about the drudgery of making movies. I don't buy any of that. All those guys who made 'The Revenant,' they loved it. They wanted to make a film, and they were the happiest people around to be doing so.
Unless you have a real passion for making movies, then don't bother. I had to carry energy and light into every meeting, only to be told, 'We don't want you.' I couldn't take it personally. You just have to wait, and live for those moments when the casting director likes you.
Making movies is never going to get better than working on a Coen brothers project.
It took me 20 years of making movies to learn how to do it.
Maybe there should be less of a mystique around making movies. I just don't think that there's any real mystery there.
Maybe when I stop making movies, I'll understand my work better.
There's too much down time making movies. That leads to boredom. And that leads to trouble.
I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.
As actors, the thing we have to fight, more than even the business part of making movies, is boredom.
I've had nine of my books adapted to film, and almost all were enjoyable. I've been very lucky with Hollywood, and look forward to more movies being adapted. But I don't get involved in that process. I know nothing about making movies and I stay away from it and hope for the best.
Making movies is really hard. It's a very complex process, with many, many variables.
Hollywood is a boys' club, and that's something I thought was a stereotype - and it's not. That really shocked me. Still shocks me. Everyone's helping their buddies out and pressing their buddies and playing tennis with their buddies and making movies with their buddies, and that grosses me out.
I don't mind being in studios, and I don't mind being out in nature. They're two different ways of making movies.
Somehow, the process of making movies conventionally can dampen creativity because you've got to wait in line to do everything the way it's supposed to be, particularly with actors who are just hanging out waiting for the call.
I'm not sure I like making movies that my kids can't go to, but that's just how it is.
I would go through phases of wanting to be a mermaid or a vet, but because I grew up around people who were always making movies, I guess it sort of just moulded my mind.
Making movies is like herding cats.
Since I began making movies, I've always looked for screenwriters instead of going through the long and painful process of writing.
The problem with making movies is that you have to devote so much of your life to fawning and flattering the men in suits, whereas that doesn't happen in books. You just go and write, and then the book comes out.
I stopped making movies because I don't like taking my clothes off. Maybe it's realism, but in my opinion, it's utter filth.
I always wanted to be a stay-at-home dad making art, making movies.
The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.
I'm not looking to lose anything. I'm looking to continue making movies.
Making movies is eating candy. It's a very expensive candy, so you value when you can do it. So when you can do it twice at once, it's like, you know, a kid in a candy store!
Just in the past few years - since I've been making movies, which isn't a very long time - you now have a culture that is fascinated and informed about the box office in a way that sometimes filmmakers weren't even.
