You just never know when movies are going to take off or not. The lucky thing about this was that it didnt cost a lot of money, and therefore there wasnt loads of pressure on me. – Sam Mendes

Ever since Lassie and Old Yeller, I wont watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die. – George A. Romero

But I dont think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeares Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame. – Julie Taymor

I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didnt like me. I guess I wasnt a certain type. – Leelee Sobieski

Theres always an imbalance with actors and actresses in the industry. And I think because there are just fewer movies overall being made, its that trickle down effect. – Michelle Pfeiffer

The cardinal sin in sports, what could really wreck it, is not cheating to win, which has gone on forever, but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports appeal, which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed, theyre no different from movies theyre scripted. – Michael Mandelbaum

When I finally got up to Industrial Light And Magic to work on the Star Wars movies as a model-maker, it felt like dying and going to heaven. – Adam Savage

Dr. Strangelove was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just cant believe they actually blew up the world after that. – Gary Ross

Obviously I love The Godfather movies. I think theyre phenomenal. – Gary Ross

Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. Its almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies. – Gary Ross

I think movies do play a valuable role in turning people on to the act of reading. I think that phenomenon just creates readers. At first theyre going to love Harry Potter, or they may love The Hunger Games, but after that, theyre going to love the act of reading and wonder, What else can I read? – Gary Ross

Im always happy when I hear about people selling records or selling books or selling movies. It makes me proud of them. – Ian MacKaye

But when youre writing a script – for me anyway – you have to sort of create an enforced innocence. You have to divest yourself of worrying about a lot of stuff like what movies are hot, what movies are not hot, what the budget of this movie might be. – David Cronenberg

Of course for many years directors have had to go on the road with their movies and promote them and Ive done that since the beginning. So thats not new but the forms of it are different such as with the internet. – David Cronenberg

The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is, the harder it is to get it financed. Thats why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies. – David Cronenberg

I like to think of myself as a fairly educated human being, but Im a very uneducated actor when it comes to movies, directors, producers, actors for that matter. – Shailene Woodley

Life is short. Im 47 years old. Ive got 10 years to go where I can be the best I can be. I want those 10 years to be precious, not like before, cranking two or three movies a year. Ive made a ton of movies in my life, but so what? – Jean Claude Van Damme

A lot of movies arent intended for everybody. – Tim Heidecker

Its time for me to do things I like so I will be happy, my wife will be happy, my friends will be happy. I just want to do something Im proud of. Its time for me to change. I could sign with a company for 10 movies and Im the king of video and so what? – Jean Claude Van Damme

Ill go to see movies, but I also love being at home on my couch and pausing every 10 minutes to pee. – Tim Heidecker
