Screen Quotes

It's an embarrassment of riches because you have directors who don't better. You end up with so much stuff going on the screen that you don't know where to look, and that's what I consider self-indulgent.
John Dykstra

End, Stuff, Consider

As with sound, images are subjective. You and I may not see the same color red as red, but we will probably agree that the image on the screen is a digital image or film image, based on contrast, bit depth, and refresh rate.
John Dykstra

May, Same, Film

I remember seeing some little wrinkles in my early 30s and thinking they were interesting. But you know the horror of it is that the screen image has to be perfect.
Claire Bloom

Thinking, Remember, Perfect

I think when you're trying to produce a relationship on screen that doesn't actually exist, perhaps sometimes there's a temptation to look at each other more, to touch each other more.

Trying, Sometimes, Touch

People are not used to seeing an older woman on screen, unless she's playing a character role. Why can't they make a movie about a woman who's forty-five who's falling in love or getting divorced? Why does the leading role always have to be a woman who's twenty-three or twenty-eight?
Melanie Griffith

Love, Character, Woman

Andy Lau

Character, True, Show

If people take the film and screen it whenever possible for their social and professional networks, we can continue to make a difference. It is one more element we have to use in the ongoing effort to take back our country.
Robert Greenwald

Country, Effort, Social

Bill Scott

Order, Seems, Wants

Gary Sinise

Game, Both, Fine

Warren Rudman

Attention, Pay, Current

They warned me, 'you're going to be doing the screen test with Daniel Radcliffe a week after the audition.' And then in the hair and make up department, he walked up behind and scared me. But you get used to him quickly because he tries to make you feel very welcome and at home.
Evanna Lynch

Home, Him, After

Things danced on the screen do not look the way they do on the stage. On the stage, dancing is three-dimensional, but a motion picture is two-dimensional.
Gene Kelly

Picture, Stage, Dancing

It's fun to see a lot of the crowd become embarrassed. You're kind of watching them almost wanting to not watch the screen, but they have to because it's so compelling!
Will Friedle

Fun, Become, Almost

We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen.
Jake Gyllenhaal

I wish they taught green screen acting classes.
Hayden Christensen

Wish, Acting, Green

But I would like to think that it's the actor that makes the difference in these cases. Not the director, not the guy that wrote the book, not the guy that adapted it for the screen, but the actor.
Ray Walston

Book, Makes, Actor

Charles S. Dutton

Love, Two, Stuck

I think that I've been pigeon-holed by virtue of the fact that I've spent so much time in front of a green screen.
Jonathan Frakes

Time, Fact, Virtue

I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger.
Rene Russo

Age, Women, Men

You could name the great stars of the silent screen who were finished; the great directors gone; the great title writers who were washed up. But remember this, as long as you live: the producers didn't lose a man. They all made the switch. That's where the great talent is.
Ernst Lubitsch

Great, Live, Long

I put a lot of time and energy and thought behind what I do and the characters that I create, and I don't want to do anything peripheral that is going to make an audience see me up there on the screen rather than who I'm playing.
Billy Crudup

Time, Thought, Put

To me, casting is all about finding a character within the actor off the screen as much as on the screen.
Rupert Sanders

Character, Off, Actor

Brendan Gleeson

Good, Integrity, Writing

Raquel Welch

Society, Career, Wonderful

Lee Grant

Everything, Down, Big
