(1986 quotes found)
“A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.”
Alfred Hitchcock
“You know what your problem is, it's that you haven't seen enough movies - all of life's riddles are answered in the movies.”
Steve Martin
“Now I'm seen by more people in one episode than I was in 20 years of theatre and movies. It's gratifying to have an impact on 25 million people a night, but I can say goodbye to my lunch-pail life as a working actor. I'm scared I might be a celebrity.”
William Petersen
“As far as me talking about my movies and the work ive done,yeah. I love it . I could talk about it for hours. But when it comes to me talking about me and my life and the stuff in the media, Id very much love to be someone else, like the rain. The rain is the thing nobody likes to touch and hates. They want it as far away from them as possible. Rain is usally the thing thay fucks up people's day, it pisses them off and makes them want nothing to do with it. Why would you want to want to know every aspect of and consantly talk about the thing you hate? Right now i want to be the media's rain. I want to be the thing thay pray never comes around. The thing obviously not the topic of their conversation.”
Johnny Depp
“My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.”
Robert Bresson
“Scriptwriting [for film] is the toughest part of the whole racket . . . the least understood and the least noticed.”
Frank Capra
“I stopped making movies because I don't like taking my clothes off. Maybe it's realism, but in my opinion, it's utter filth.”
Debbie Reynolds
“A Picture of many colors proclaims images of many Thoughts.”
Donna A. Favors
“I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.”
Julia Roberts
“Life is a B Movie: it's stupid and it's strange, it's a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the 'he said she said' sometimes there's some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally.”
