A movie is not a book. If the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. All you owe to the book is the spirit.
Graham Greene

No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.
Roger Ebert

And at the end of the day, if the movie's no good, I'll live to fight another day.
Scott Caan

Good, bad mediocre or whatever it is, if a director wants me in his movie, I take it as a compliment.
Scott Caan

You must understand as a kid of color in those days, the Harlem Globetrotters were like being movie stars.
Wilt Chamberlain

A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.
Tom Stoppard

I don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.
Tim Burton

As for Tenacious D, of course it could work as a full length movie; all it requires is a great writer and great director with an ability to think outside of conventional film comedy.
David Cross

I don't know what your childhood was like, but we didn't have much money. We'd go to a movie on a Saturday night, then on Wednesday night my parents would walk us over to the library. It was such a big deal, to go in and get my own book.
Robert Redford

Now people want what the movie was about, which is violent comedy. And that's really what The Aristocrats is based on - what will a family do out of desperation.
Bob Saget

See, I'm fortunate that I get around a lot because of my movie business.
Chuck Zito

Every now and then you get a nice Jewish kid who likes black people and they would come in, and it would be a stream of them, and have black friends and really feel the black struggle on the acting tip and it's a reason why all of us are not dying in the movie.
Mike Epps

I'd love to play a villain in a movie, the kind of bad guy you would never think of me being able to play. Like most people, I have a darker side I'd like to explore onscreen.
Garth Brooks

I'm a big movie fan. After a show, if I'm on the bus or a plane, it's often hard to get to sleep, so I'll watch a film. An action film can even relax me.
Garth Brooks

I wouldn't mind producing a movie with a music storyline, but acting in one is too close to home.
Garth Brooks

I got the regular call, that they were doing a Broadway musical of Hairspray, and would I come and audition. I was familiar with the movie, because at the time it came out my lover wrote for Premiere magazine, and we had to see everything.
Harvey Fierstein

In Torch Song, I did that character almost non-stop from 1978 until I made the movie in 1987. Then I had some failure, which also colors how you react to doing other things.
Harvey Fierstein

Well, I always looked at Mulan as a movie about a lesbian coming out.
Harvey Fierstein

I don't have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don't know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don't know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don't think you need all that stuff.
Anthony Hopkins

And I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it's not you going through it.
Anthony Hopkins
