Directing Film Quotes (page 2)

Personally I am very pessimistic. But when, for instance, one of my staff has a baby you can't help but bless them for a good future. Because I can't tell that child, 'Oh, you shouldn't have come into this life.' And yet I know the world is heading in a bad direction. So with those conflicting thoughts in mind, I think about what kind of films I should be making. Hayao Miyazaki
I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I'll do that before I'm thirty. Eddie Murphy
If you take 2001: A Space Odyssey as an example of somebody who creates a new language in film by what he was able to accomplish with art direction, photography, lighting, etc., it is still a gold standard for science fiction. Matthew Modine
I had never thought of myself as a director and found out that I was not. I am a writer who was able to direct the films that I write. Anthony Minghella
Hollywood usually doesn't have strong woman in films like that, and it's stupid, so for the most part they're usually being directed and written by men. Ryan Gosling
You need philosophy. It sounds a little pompous but I think when you direct a film, the only way to find a response to the questions you keep asking yourself is to have a philosophy. Michel Gondry
Mel Gibson quote: "The Holy Ghost was working through me on this film, and I was..."
The Holy Ghost was working through me on this film, and I was just direction traffic. Mel Gibson

I had starred in more than 30 successful films, six in a row directed by Cecil B. De Mille. Gloria Swanson
I have a film I want to direct. Gena Rowlands was going to do it with me a long time ago. It's about an older woman who's running a ranch in the west the old fashioned way. William Hurt
For the first two weeks of filming, I remember bristling at some of the occurrences on the set, none of which directly involved me. Then I surrendered to the environment, to Michael's method, and became much happier, even though no one knew what to expect. Madeleine Stowe
I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct. Charlie Hunnam
I'm just ah, actually developing a tv show for HBO, and I'm directing a film this summer, and actually I'm doing some live shows out in western Canada. Bruce McCulloch
The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies. Fisher Stevens
Ryan Phillippe quote: "I've written something and I would like to have my first film..."
I've written something and I would like to have my first film directed by the time I'm 30. Ryan Phillippe
Dustin Hoffman quote: "I did some writing and bought a book, and have been working on..."
