Samuel L. Jackson
“I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill.”
Linda Manz
"I had always admired her. There was this sense about her that I liked — it wasn't even acting. It was like the way I felt about Buster Keaton when I first saw him. There was a kind of poetry about her, a glow." -—Harmony Korine
Emmanuel Lubezki
“Artificial light is simple. It is a specific color temperature and feel. But, natural light is complex and sometimes chaotic. A bounce from the floor or a reflection from the sky can do so much.”
Emile Hirsch
“The willingness to keep learning is, I think, the most important thing about trying to be good at anything. You never want to stop learning.”
Winona Ryder
“I've always felt a need to have a life which is completely separate - at least as far as possible - from the kind of illusory lifestyle that comes with being a celebrity.”
Robby Müller
“I think Wenders and I stay together because I seem to be able to translate a lot of Wim's dreams and the travelling shots are because his stories are a lot about travelling, communication, distances - a lot of his stories play that way, so we end up trying to get something moving.”
Kristen Stewart
“I don’t want to make movies for kids, and I don’t want to make movies for adults either.”
Vittorio Storaro
“It is our obligation to defend the audiences' rights to see the images and to hear the sounds the way we have expressed ourselves as artists.”
Rudolph Valentino
“Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas upon which the women paint their dreams.”
James McAvoy
“I always believed that I never wanted to be an actor. I only did it because I was allowed to do it and I had to do something.”
James Mason
“I'm a character actor: the public never knows what it's getting by way of a Mason performance from one film to the next. I therefore represent a thoroughly insecure investment.”
Sissy Spacek
“When I started out in independent films in the early 70s, we did everything for the love of art. It wasn’t about money and stardom. That was what we were reacting against. You’d die before you’d be bought.”
Henry Fonda
“If there is something in my eyes, a kind of honesty in the face, then I guess you could say that’s the man I’d like to be, the man I want to be.”
Waheeda Rehman
“Once an actress appears as the mother or grandmother, her options reduce. I do not expect experimental roles to come my way at this stage.”
Juliette Binoche
“I try to see my films just once. It's like a dream you've been through when it's been intense, and you just have to go through it once more just to make sure you've had it.”
Laura Dern
“I really don't consider myself to be a conventional Hollywood star. I've never really been marketed by the big studios to do mass market box office films.”
