Everything makes me nervous - except making films.
Elizabeth Taylor

I think it is very important that films make people look at what they've forgotten.
Spike Lee

I'm just trying to tell a good story and make thought-provoking, entertaining films. I just try and draw upon the great culture we have as a people, from music, novels, the streets.
Spike Lee

I live in New York City, the stories of my films take place in New York; I'm a New York filmmaker.
Spike Lee

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.
Shia LaBeouf

So it's kind of nervous to be in this situation, but at the same time you look at all those actors and the work that they've done, I've been in bigger films than all of them and still kept my integrity and still kept my respect.
Shia LaBeouf

When you look at golf films before us they're all - garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him.
Shia LaBeouf

The black groups that boycott certain films would do better to get the money together to make the films they want to see, or stay in church and leave us to our work.
Richard Pryor

If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a state has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his house, what books he may read or what films he may watch.
Thurgood Marshall

I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.
Cat Stevens

I want to be an all round entertainer, I want to act, make films, make albums, do whatever I can.
Christina Aguilera

A lot of people want to make films and do photography and things, but I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing.
Syd Barrett

The truth is often terrifying, which I think is one of the motifs of Larry and Andrew's cinema. The cost of knowledge is an important theme. In the second and third films, they explore the consequences of Neo's choice to know the truth. It's a beautiful, beautiful story.
Keanu Reeves

I've been really fortunate to be able to do different kinds of films in different scales, different genres, different kinds of roles, and that is important to me.
Keanu Reeves

I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable.
Sandra Bullock

When it comes to films, people often don't differentiate between the message of a bad central character and the message of the film itself. They are two separate things.
Christian Bale

I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.
John Cusack

Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.
Natalie Wood

I'm confident in my ability to maintain a career. I don't know if it will be doing either independent films or plays in New England.
Randy Harrison

There are very few solid family films. A lot of the writing is awful.
Chevy Chase
