I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written.
Paulo CoelhoI love the movies, and when I go to see a movie that's been made from one of my books I know that it isn't going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I also know it has an idea that I'll like because that idea occurred to me and I spent a year or a year and a half of my life working on it.
Stephen KingThere's only one thing that can kill the movies, and that's education.
Will Rogers'I'll be back' always sounded a little girly to me.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerWhat is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall short thin or skinny. They can be Democrats... or skinny.
Steve MartinIf a movie is described as a romantic comedy you can usually find me next door playing pinball
George CarlinSex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
Andy WarholI guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.
Clint EastwoodLife is like arriving late for a movie having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends
Joseph CampbellThere's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.
Clint EastwoodIt's something that occurs to me many times in my movies. They can often be treated comically or dramatically and I usually opt to treat them comically. But it occurred to me that you could get a story and you could fool around with it both ways.
Woody AllenI was striving to be the most muscular man and it got me into the movies. It got me everything that I have.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerMovie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson WellesWhen I was a kid if a guy got killed in a western movie I always wondered who got his horse
George CarlinWhen the movie comes out what anybody thinks of it doesn't really matter to me. I don't go to the wrap party. I don't go to the premiere.
Henry RollinsThe hardest that I've laughed at a movie was probably Team America. I laughed 'til I thought I was just gonna throw up. I almost had to turn it off.
Ron WhiteI don't take the movies seriously and anyone who does is in for a headache.
Bette DavisA movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.
Tom StoppardYou are always hoping that movie audiences are interested in characters and interested in story values rather than just mindless special effects. But you never know.
Clint EastwoodIn Paris when the picture came out [Casablanca] they weren't too pleased with it. They didn't like the political point of view. The picture was taken off immediately and was never sold to television. A while ago it was brought in and opened in five theatres in Paris as a new movie. They had a big gala opening where I appeared and people were absolutely crazy about it.
Ingrid BergmanNight was a wonderful time in Brooklyn in the 1930s. Air conditioning was unknown except in movie houses and so was television. There was nothing to keep one in the house. Furthermore few people owned automobiles so there was nothing to carry one away. That left the streets and the stoops. The very fullness served as an inhibition to crime.
Isaac AsimovI'm looking for the perfect paintball movie.
William ShatnerI did a movie in Esperanto.
William ShatnerIt's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do how to do it when to do it how to feel about it and how to look how you feel about it.
Andy WarholMovies always are open to being remade because times change so much and the tempo of movies changes. I think of it like a James Bond. They can have different actors play the same role... I've had people come up to me and say 'We want to remake 'The Jerk' with so and so.' And I say 'Fine.' It just doesn't bother me. It's an honor actually.
Steve MartinMovies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
Charlie ChaplinBecoming emancipated at 14 my life wasn't normal. I didn't have to go to school so I didn't. I was rebellious by nature. I spent my 20s focusing on my company Flower Films and producing movies. Now that I'm almost 30 I would like to try other things in lie. I'm crazy about photography and I want to take an art history class.
Drew BarrymorePeople will say a movie bombed at the box office but I couldn't care less.
Johnny DeppEvery time I've made a movie over the years . . . there was a lot of confusion between who I am and who the character in the movie is. In this picture there was no way anybody could make that association. The lead character (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is this gorgeous troubled highly sensitive character. There was no way anyone could confuse me with anyone in the picture.
Woody AllenI remember being on film sets when I was younger and only men got to do the cool action movies. So I thought 'Maybe I'll get to produce one day and get to do cool stuff too ' which is what happened when we did 'Charlie's Angels.' Starting my production company was a big turning point for me.
Drew BarrymoreMinimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
Chuck PalahniukThere's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say oh God I've got to see my friends 'cause I'm too content being by myself.
