Of all the movies I've done in my life, the one where I play a crazy awful psycho woman finds me my husband.
Hollywood used to be run by artists and people who loved artists... people who wanted to make movies for all the right reasons. For the love. The Art. To tell stories. Yes to make money as well, but it was about both. Now I feel, it's mostly about bottom line and making money.
I'm not a video brat. I don't derive all my inspiration through movies. I get it from a lot of other places, too.
I was so flattered to be asked to be in the movies - the idea of being paid to act was heady stuff.
If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies - and I have a nice house, a nice car. I'm fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good.
It's up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You're either courageous or not. You have to find a way.
There are a lot of movies made for nobody.
I really unfortunately don't have tons of hilarious Sundance stories, because really I am not the biggest fan of hanging out, but the reason why is because I never go see other people's movies and I think that's the way to do it.
Sure, 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.
The writer in movies is about as low as you can get and you really are a hired hand. You are paid a lot of money to be treated like dirt.
I'm always working on stuff. But they never materialize. I'm always working on movies and TV shows.
There's not much to do in Atlanta, so the cast went to the gym together, went shopping together, and dinner was always a group thing. It's that whole summer-camp experience that making movies tends to be anyway.
They always find new ways of talking about my movies.
I loved movies and went to see every movie I could in Finland.
I like movies where you can come back and re-watch them and admire the cinematography 25 years later.
For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.
My mother had to send me to the movies with my birth certificate, so that I wouldn't have to pay the extra fifty cents that the adults had to pay.
Some of the scariest movies I've seen are not considered horror movies, like 'Gone Girl.' That movie scared me. I can't watch it again.
I'm now beginning to feel that the pessimistic vision is not for the movies.
I do fat people and these makeups are really hard to do, but I want to make monster movies.
When we talk about how movies used to be made, it was over 100 years of film, literal, physical film, with emulsion, that we would expose to light and we would get pictures.
I don't like to go to the movies to see violence or some kind of spy thing with all kinds of information you have to assimilate to understand the plot.
I can't say that I've made the transition to movies.
The best adaptations are the ones that really excavate the material. The movies that work are the ones in which somebody very smart figured out how to take all the thematic material, all the character material, all the filigree, all the beautiful writing and put it into a story.
Most of us... are simply just trying to get through the day. And wait for those times in their life that are markers, that put things into relief. That's why we like movies and books so much.
We've had so many faith-based movies that I think are sub-par; I almost want a new phrase for them.
I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.
In LA I was watching At the Movies with Ebert and Roper, it was, nice to see them differentiate between the subject matter and the art form of making the film, and they both gave it thumbs up, and I was kind of pleased at their honesty as far as reviewers go.
I know movies are a function of our dream world. And when you project yourself on screen, it's easier to project yourself into what you were, not what you are.
In cartoons, in movies, time passes differently. There are flashbacks and flashfowards.
I watch movies occasionally, and I watch documentaries. Virtually nothing else.
I've been watching so many movies and they all have to do with the DVDs. It's just so much more convenient.
But what I really like are old Hollywood movies. Very often I watch AMC.
I definitely want to do movies and stuff.
We've been shooting the last two weeks with a lot of vampires. I don't want to give away too much, but if you've read the books, it's the standoff with lots of vampires in play. There's like 70 people going through the works at once. It's a little maddening, but fun. We shot pretty much the ending of the two movies the other day.
I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.
