When people ask me what makes movies great, its the material. – Harvey Weinstein
Last year, when Black Swan, True Grit and Kings Speech all grossed over $100 million, it gave studios and independent financiers the confidence to make daring movies and not do the same old you-know-what. – Harvey Weinstein
When we talk about Oscars, its almost as a symbol of excellence, and the American public and the worldwide public accept that symbol. So, a movie like The Artist that costs $14 million, has to go out and compete with movies that cost $140 million. How does David deal with Goliath? – Harvey Weinstein
We didnt care if we were well-liked as long as the movies were good. We served the movie – that was our master at Miramax. In our second incarnation, the movie is still the master but were getting the same results in more subtle ways. – Harvey Weinstein
