I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.
There are some films that really break the mold, and some films that don't. I've been looking for films that break the mold a bit.
I'm very happy with the success of short films. In fact, for me, the short films make more money than the features.
I like the Edinburgh Film Festival, and I've liked what I've experienced of Glasgow's Film Festival too.
I like voice-over in films, and most of my films have been voice-over films.
The best discoveries always happened to the people who weren't looking for it. Columbus and America. Pinzon, who stumbled on Brazil while looking for the West Indies. Stanley happening on Victoria Falls. And you. Amy Curry, when I was least expecting...
Is it better to go indie and make bigger profits on each book, or stick with a print publisher's 6%-10% royalties? Since I never could figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up, I'm hedging my bets and working both sides of the street.
I kept thinking, 'How do you make a modern musical?' Then it became clear that I could do it just like a small indie art-house movie, very naturalistically. I could create a world where it's o.k. to break into song, without an orchestra coming up out...
Walter Donovan: [points a gun at Indy] The Grail is mine. And you're going to get it for me. Indiana Jones: Shooting me won't get you anywhere. Walter Donovan: You know something, Dr. Jones? You're absolutely right. [He shoots Henry in the stomach]
Elsa: [to Indy after a kiss] How dare you kiss me! [She kisses him] Indiana Jones: [pulling away] Leave me alone, I don't like fast women. Elsa: [biting his ear] And I hate arrogant men.
Indiana Jones: [Indy bursts through the window into his father's room. He's hit on the head with a vase] Professor Henry Jones: Junior! Indiana Jones: [reflexively] Yes, sir! Professor Henry Jones: It IS you, Junior! Indiana Jones: Don't call me that...
When I started out as a music journalist, at the end of the 1980s, it was generally assumed that we were living through the lamest music era the world would ever see. But those were also the years when hip-hop exploded, beatbox disco soared, indie ro...
For the casual viewer, Kurosawa’s films can be an exercise in endurance.
It's hard to make a film in Britain. It's hard to raise money. The best stuff that is shot on film in Britain is usually shot on film for television.
I mean, I love action films, you know, good action films.
I want to do comedy films, serious films - I admire the actors who fly under the radar but get loads done, pop up in a lot of good films.
Film is so much to do with perfection and how differently you can feel about someone at the beginning of the film and the end of the film.
The difference - the fundamental difference between theater acting and film acting is that film acting is disjunctive.
I love film, and I think it's so important for kids to be educated about films and real life subjects that films cover.
Due to the political nature of film, partisan film making, especially where the subject is close to the film makers hart, tend to be the norm, rather than the exception.
I've always been real close to film world. I love film, and I will do things in film, but music is more satisfying. It feels more like me.
