Dennis Dugan
“Audiences that go to my movies don't want a message. They don't want my soul exposed or my life view. They just want to laugh.”
Nicolas Roeg
“You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me.”
Kim Jee-woon
“I don’t know yet which genre I’m best at so I have to try lots of different ones! I don’t want to repeat a genre that I’ve already done because working with a variety of styles inspires me and gives me more cinematic energy.”
David O. Russell
“I think what makes compelling fiction or cinema is when you're basically taking the most intense moments of experience and you're creating a song or a narrative out of it.”
James Wan
“We think craft is important, and the irony has always been that horror may be disregarded by critics, but often they are the best-made movies you're going to find in terms of craft. You can't scare people if they see the seams.”
Joe Johnston
“I think that when a film is working the audience isn’t conscious of, “gee, it’s been 15 minutes and I haven’t seen an action scene”. If they’re engaged in the characters, and they’re watching what’s on-screen, then that’s not an issue.”
Roger Avary
[on Quentin Tarantino] “I've realized that I can't hang out with him. I talk with him, and he just sucks stuff from me.”
Hal Ashby
“I was a kid looking for something but I didn’t know what. The movie business seemed like a terrific thing to get into, because that’s where the money and the fun was at.”
Terry George
“Film today is more and more concentrated on the amusement park element. If a writer can attach an actor or a producer who has some clout, then you can arm yourself. Otherwise, a script simply becomes a road map to attract money and talent.”
