The last real movie stars were probably Redford and Newman. And things were different then. There wasn't this amazing amount of magazines and information about them.
For me, I think the best part of all and the most fun was just being a part of such an amazing movie and such an amazing show because 'Into The Woods' is just so incredible.
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that's art.
Books are my art. The movie is someone else's art. But it's great marketing for books.
Today's cinema is a global art form, it is impossible to make movies for a market the size of France, representing no more than 4% of the world's total.
By the time we got to MGM, and Lions Gate the movie was done there was nothing else to say. It was done. Just as at Universal, it was art by committee.
You know, essentially when you do a play you're reinterpreting a work of art that already exists. That's not what happens with a movie.
Women couldn’t identify with her and didn’t support her.
You’ve seen the movies. Bad guy always comes back.
Haven't you ever noticed that life is like a series of movies?
This was not a fearie tale. This was not the movies. This was life. It hurt more. It was excruciating. It was excruciatingly beautiful.
I've cut myself out... I've cut scenes out that I was in and that's when you realize that you've got to make the best movie you can.
Some of the best movies made about crime are those where the crime solver can get inside the head of the serial killer, and those are the techniques we use in C.S.I.
The best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period. When you work in movies, or on TV shows, there are 50 other people involved.
You finish a movie and you think, there, you've done it, really well, or best you can. But if you watch it, you see it was just bollocks.
Comedy is really best when watched with other people, and I don't really understand people who sit at home watching comedy movies on Netflix.
If I'm a game show host, will someone buy a ticket to see me do standup? To do a dramatic role in a movie?
And so my militant philosophy is this: to make with a brush on canvas is a simple direct delight-to make with the movie is the same.
A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathize with.
You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me.
I remember the 'Scary Movie' series coming out for sure, and I was a big fan of those.
