They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors.

I also have a film coming up called Breaking Up, and my part in that was not written for a Latina, and my character is not particularly pretty or sexy or exotic.
Salma Hayek

There has never been a female director who has won an Oscar. There has only been one woman who won at the Cannes Film Festival.

I suffer much less than many of my colleagues. I am perfectly able to go to Australia and film within three hours of arrival.
David Attenborough

Many people will say, well, clothes should be worn; but I think people can look at them in public, like seeing a film. I think museum exhibitions are very important.

Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing.

You really have to soak up the culture of the people to get it right. If you're making a fiction film, it's entertainment, but you want it to be as real as possible.
Robert Duvall

You make a lot of films, do you? You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk.
George Clooney

I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film.

If you're doing a drama that has some comedic elements you can't forget that it's primarily a very serious film that has some light relief.

When you are a beginning film maker you are desperate to survive. The most important thing in the end is survival and being able to get to your next picture.
George Lucas

We had the guys from X Men 2 do the cameras. They had a 360 camera that would go from one car, up in the air and over to another car in a continuous shot while the film was still rolling, going 90 mph.
Jimmy Fallon

I'm very often still very much alive for that other being and that other world long after the film is finished.
Daniel Day-Lewis

I made the film in spite of Harvey, not because of Harvey.
Daniel Day-Lewis

A good opening and a good ending make for a good film provide they come close together.
Federico Fellini

I never made a film which fully satisfied me.
Roman Polanski

Everything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee.
Cameron Diaz

I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.
