If I do three movies in a year, I dont feel like acting ever again. – Ethan Hawke

Right now, if youre interested in being a dramatic actor, theyre not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on. – Ethan Hawke

I dont know what has happened to movies, but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic – a movie about Gandhi something with very important subject matters. – Ethan Hawke

If youre not a real chameleon of an actor and if youre not one of those guys who can really shape-change themselves all the time, one of the ways to keep pushing yourself and keep changing is to be in different kinds of movies. – Ethan Hawke

I dont want to imitate life in movies I want to represent it. And in that representation, you use the colors you feel, and sometimes they are fake colors. But always its to show one emotion. – Pedro Almodovar

Most movies suck, even the independent ones. Hollywood is like baseball: Hit three good ones out of 10 and youre a Hall of Famer. – Denis Leary

We were raised without movies, theater or music. We had only nature, the hills, the trees. When I got on the set of Manon, I wasnt star-struck because I didnt know what a star was. – Emmanuelle Beart

I dont always see my movies right away. And there are some I havent seen at all. Sometimes that bothers the directors, so Im obliged to see them. – Emmanuelle Beart

Im sure a bunch of 15-year-old kids would way rather I do Superbad 2 than Moneyball. But I would love to do movies like Superbad and movies like Moneyball. – Jonah Hill

Besides the fact that I make movies, theres nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately. – Jonah Hill

Once you make a movie like Superbad, when its popular and youre the lead, you get offered all kinds of things and theres a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture. – Jonah Hill

I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because youre an actor you want to write a book to exploit your celebrity, but my celebrity is only a byproduct of me making movies. I have no intention of being a celebrity. – Jonah Hill

Look, at the same time that I dont want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. Id be a baby and a fool to be like, Why are there cameras taking pictures of me? when Im on a billboard for a movie. I think thats a very absurd concept. – Jonah Hill

Im really proud of Moneyball. To me, its about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when Im an old man Ill be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. Thats all I can really go for: making movies to please me. – Jonah Hill

I love it, man Im 23 years old and Im lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and cant believe its happening. – Jonah Hill

People are always wondering if I am an artist or political activist or politician. Maybe Ill just clearly tell you: Whatever I do is not art. Lets say it is just objects or materials, movies or writing, but not art, OK? – Ai Weiwei

Ive always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible. – Albert Brooks

By the way, movies are like sporting events in that youre as good as the movie youre in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if theyre dreck, its nothing. – Albert Brooks

Listen, there are some movies that are set in stone and the writer or the director does not want to change, but Ive never worked on a movie, including my own, that didnt take advantage of a rehearsal process. – Albert Brooks

Ive done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didnt take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral, it didnt take off. – Albert Brooks
