I had been trying to make movies, but they were really hard to get made. TV wound up, by surprise, a much more fulfilling place to work. That said, I've always been drawn to make movies.
In life, single women are the most vulnerable adults. In movies, they are given imaginary power.
I can't bear to see myself even in movies. The feeling is complex. I can't stand the sight of myself.
I would not mind stepping into movies if it is a good project. If it is changing my career in a good way, then of course I will keep money aside.
I am not a big horror freak. I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat in general. I can't handle scary movies unless I am at home with the lights on and the doors locked or it is in the morning.
I've done a lot of movies that don't have any music in them, and I've always sort of had a kind of wary attitude about music because it can be so manipulative, and also because with pop music, I feel like everybody kind of has their own relationship to songs.
I'm a playwright who gets involved in movies when I'm not writing a play.
I think of myself as making independent films within the studio system. Yes, I've made movies with significantly larger budgets, and I've also made movies with smaller budgets.
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.
I now, more and more, appreciate when I'm in a group of good people and get to work in good movies and projects. I'm wildly grateful and appreciative.
In my teens, I fell in love with the movies.
I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such.
I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway, so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.
You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money.
I'm so picky. People hate going to the movies with me.
I don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.
I just went to see too many movies and I sat in too many dark matinees watching those old serials.
We did six records, then six movies. Now we need to do six of something else, so we get 666 - and then our master Satan can return!
Maybe I will end up in the movies.
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.
My grandmother, when she looked at American movies, she said, 'They're all the same. In the first scene somebody shoots somebody and then everybody makes phone calls.'
I remember working on movies like Gettysburg and feeling that Jeff Daniels was kind of a mentor.
Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.
I'm a big fan of the 'Harry Potter' movies and 'The Lord of the Rings' films.
I never thought I would have any particular career in movies at all.
From now on, I approach the cinema as a business woman. I intend to be in more action movies because, apart from Angelina Jolie, no other actress stands out in this genre.
I'm definitely a romantic comedy dude because I'm a big romantic at heart. I'm a softy, so it's always nice to watch movies that make you think that love at first sight is actually possible.
I'm not going to tell you the movies, but I remember getting halfway through the thing and everything sort of tunnel-visioned on me and I couldn't read the script anymore. I looked at the people and I just turned and ran out in a cold sweat. It took me about a year to study it and feel comfortable going in and reading for people.
I rarely see one of the 'summer blockbuster' movies. I'd like to see a stronger focus on smaller, smarter movies.
Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.
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 have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.
All my movies are difficult to classify because they are very eclectic in mixing genres.
I love making movies, but there's nothing like performing live.
There are a lot of musicians in my life. But movies came first for me. That was my original passion.
I'm not looking to get away from anything. I like what I've done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible.
