Film Quotes (page 37)

As far as acting in films, there is not much out there that is very interesting to do. The ones that are interesting to me are independent films and they have trouble raising money. With people putting their money into blockbusters, there is not much left for the independents. Karen Allen
Robert Aldrich quote: "I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life...."
I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films. Robert Aldrich
The things that I've done that have totally been remembered, they've always started with the same kind of engine, they've always started with someone saying 'I have to make this film - I'm going to make this film whatever the odds'. Jenny Agutter
Clearly any film company that makes a film is always going to talk about sequels particularly if they see something as being successful, which Werewolf was. Jenny Agutter
That is another chamber of my heart that shows no electrical activity - the chamber that used to flicker into life when I saw a film that moved me, or read a book that inspired me, or listened to music that made me want to cry. I closed that chamber myself, for all the usual reasons. And now I seem to have made a pact with some philistine devil: if I don't attempt to re-open it, I will be allowed just enough energy and optimism to get through a working day without wanting to hang myself. Nick Hornby
TV and popular film and most kinds of 'low' art-- which just means art whose primary aim is to make money-- is lucrative precisely because it recognizes that audiences prefer 100 percent pleasure to the reality that tends to be 49 percent pleasure and 51 percent pain. Whereas 'serious' art, which is not primarily about getting money out of you, is more apt to make you uncomfortable, or to force you to work hard to access its pleasures, the same way that in real life true pleasure is usually... David Foster Wallace
One of these days they'll be making a film where the whole human race gets wiped out in a nuclear war, but everything works out in the end. Haruki Murakami
Carol Ann Duffy quote: "The stars are filming us for no one."
The stars are filming us for no one. Carol Ann Duffy
Compared to a novel, a film is like an economy pizza where there are no olives, no ham, no anchovies, no mushrooms, and all you’ve got is the dough. Louis de Bernieres
My reaction to porno films is as follows: After the first ten minutes, I want to go home and screw. After the first twenty minutes, I never want to screw again as long as I live. Erica Jong
I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark. When he made Pearl Harbor. I miss you more than that movie missed the point. And that's an awful lot, girl. And now, now you've gone away. And all I'm trying to say, is: Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you. I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school. He was terrible in that film. I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part. He's way better than Ben Affleck. And now, all I can think about is your smileand that shitty movie, too. Pearl... Trey Parker
Evelyn Waugh quote: "What is it about being on a boat that makes everyone behave..."
What is it about being on a boat that makes everyone behave like a film star? --Julia Flyte Evelyn Waugh
She dealt her pretty words like Blades --How glittering they shone --And every One unbared a Nerve. Or wantoned with a Bone --She never deemed -- she hurt --That -- is not Steel's Affair --A vulgar grimace in the Flesh --How ill the Creatures bear --To Ache is human -- not polite --The Film upon the eye. Mortality's old Custom --Just locking up -- to Die. Emily Dickinson
There are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you. Bjork
The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills. ‘Behold, just now the world became perfect!’—thus thinks every woman when she obeys out of entire love. And women must obey and find a depth for her surface. Surface is the disposition of woman: a mobile, stormy film over shallow water. Man’s disposition, however, is deep; his river roars in subterranean caves: woman feels his strength but does not comprehend it. Friedrich Nietzsche
