I'll never be able to really see a film that I'm in.
Willem Dafoe

Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.
Catherine Deneuve

This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film.
Wentworth Miller

Growing up in the Philippines, I loved all kinds of movies. We had a very healthy film industry there when I was a child. It's now gotten very limited. They only make action movies and hard-core exploitation movies. Women get raped; men get shot.
Jessica Hagedorn

Doing comedy for film is always a challenge because you are in the hands of the editor after the fact. I am hoping I can do some more soon, I enjoy doing comedy.
Tim Roth

Music is very influential to my writing, as are theater and film.
Jessica Hagedorn

I didn't need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don't get the opportunity to experience in your own life, let alone as a character in a film. I didn't feel naked.
Marguerite Moreau

We had two cameras, so they could turn it on and shoot as much as we wanted. You don't have to worry about wasting money on film. A lot more takes are possible.
Marguerite Moreau

I keep every script from every film that I ever made because it's like a workbook of that time in my life.
Marguerite Moreau

I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.
Sean Lennon

I never told my father I loved him before he died, and I have a lot of issues about that. They're all swimming around in my head, in my heart, unresolved, and in a way it felt fitting to dedicate the film to him.
Gary Oldman

Your own barometer is all you have to go by, and often what makes a good director is knowing when not to say something. On occasions you can find yourself on a film set where the person who is wearing the director's hat is only trying to justify his position.
Gary Oldman

On film sets, people get put down in public a lot.
David Warner

It's becoming increasingly harder and harder; there's no such thing as independent film anymore. There aren't any, they don't exist. In the old days you could go and get a certain amount of the budget with foreign sales, now everybody wants a marketable angle.
Gary Oldman

How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.
Gary Oldman

But I won't work with the exact same crew film after film because I feel the work would get a little complacent.
Patrice Leconte

If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.
Patrice Leconte

I can't do a film if I don't start with the writing.
Neil Jordan

A film has its own life and takes its own time.
Aaron Eckhart

Film has to describe and show.
Ralph Bakshi
