Part of the film business is, if you want an apple, you buy an apple.
Jeffrey Jones

Some people make a great film and then they can't follow up.
Woody Harrelson

There's a personal story of my own that I will write at some point, and it's a film that I will happily make. It could very well be the next thing I do, unless someone shows me something great.
Harold Ramis

The director is the only person who knows what the film is about.
Satyajit Ray

When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.
Kathryn Bigelow

You want to keep it in there because you feel like it's yours but to be able to see that sometimes some stuff needs to go and I think it's for the benefit of the film.
Brandon Routh

The difference with doing a play is that you are in control. In film you are in the hands of the director and the editor and the producer.
Kyle MacLachlan

I hate the Communists and have for many years and don't feel right about giving up my career to defend them. I will give up my film career if it is in the interests of defending something I believe in, but not this.
Elia Kazan

People don't know where to place me. Terry Gilliam used me as a quirky cop in 'Twelve Monkeys', and then he hired me again to be an effeminate hotel clerk in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Another time, I was shooting this indie film 'The Souler Opposite' and six days a week, I'm playing this big puppy dog, then I come to the 'NYPD Blue' set and become this scumbag.
Christopher Meloni

Music in this film is a very important part.
Maximilian Schell

I've only used my own voice about four times on film.
Ian Hart

But for me, really, the written word is always stronger than film.
Terri Windling

It's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.
Thomas Jane

When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say, I love his movies, I love his choices-because he loved them.
Kevin Costner

She is also brought to a point of zero in the beginning of the story, and I think you can say that about a lot of my films in that they are often about people who are brought to the point of zero in the beginning of the film.
Bille August

When you make a film like this, you must have the highest expectations of your audience. Having worked in situations where we have the lowest expectations of our audience.
Atom Egoyan

When what's around you - such as scripts, or like me being on the show and playing 18, now me doing this film playing 18 - it's kind of been what's been there for me.
Shane West

Well, I think just the fact that you are making your first film is a huge step.
Adrian Lyne

No two directors make the same film the same way.
Rob Cohen

You might have a favorite book or film, but you can only watch or read it so many times before you have to let it sit and then go back and realize it's your favorite still. At some point everything gets a little stale and you have to step away from it.
Les Claypool
