Brenda Chapman
“I think it’s a really sad state. We’re in the 21st century and there are so few stories geared towards girls, told from a female point of view.”
Tony Bancroft
“Besides deep-fried chocolate covered oreos, there’s nothing more I love than creating character-driven stories.”
King Vidor
“My luck was my father not striking oil... we'd have been rich. I'd never have set out for Hollywood with my camera, and I'd have had a lot less interesting life.”
Hideo Nakata
“[Children] are closer to the Other World than adults are. And they can be possessed by the supernatural specifically because they are close to that world.”
Gurinder Chadha
“Writing film scripts is the hardest thing in the world. A script has to go to five or six drafts and you need the feedback of other people, and to keep coming back with a fresh eye, honing it down.”
Andrew Stanton
“A lot of people think if they make a computer-animated film, it's going to be a hit. I'm afraid we're going to see a glut of really bad films in the next couple of years.”
Pete Docter
“I don't think people in any way, shape, or form like to be lectured to. When people go to a movie, they want to see some sort of experience of themselves on the screen. They don't come to be taught. So in that sense, and in terms of any sort of beliefs, I don't want to feel as though I'm ever lecturing or putting an agenda forth.”
Lee Unkrich
“People here know that this is a special place, ... especially the people who have worked at other studios. There is no other place like this on the planet. There's this tangible energy in the air. They know they're working with people who are at the top of their game and who value creativity and storytelling above all else.”
Claude Lelouch
“I see a film as a puzzle, with a beginning, middle, and end, but I like to start at the end sometimes. I start with sequences that stimulate the viewer’s intelligence and emotions. You have to strike hard from the beginning and create a depressurizing zone between the viewer’s own life and the one onscreen.”
