Rutger Hauer
“Good guy' or 'bad guy', hero or anti hero; doesn't matter to me, what role I play, only the character have something magical.”
Ryûichi Sakamoto
“I often compose music to moving images. I have made several film soundtracks, or, even if the visuals are not that specific, I often have visuals in mind, whether as a landscape I recall, or by looking at pictures, or imagining purely abstract plays of light.”
Leslie Caron
“No matter what you do, your person comes through. You can’t completely change yourself on the screen. I had in mind someone colder and more in control, but I couldn’t do it. This human note just crept in and maybe it’s better.”
Jean-Pierre Léaud
“The strongest moments in my life are when I’m filming. It’s an adventure. As an actor I try to seduce someone, try to share something. The rest of my time is spent exploring experiences with women.”
Walt Disney
“I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with ‘expressing’ myself with obscure creative impressions.”
Pierre Clémenti
“A mainstream career? I could have survived in mainstream films, but that wasn’t my story. I have no regrets. I don’t have the will to be part of films that don’t even deserve to be made… I’ve always worked alone and I ruined nothing but myself.”
Michael Sheen
“It's interesting that in searching for monsters to play you often end up playing leaders.”
David Tennant
“Unlike other enduring characters such as Sherlock Holmes or Tarzan, being the Doctor allows you a certain freedom that is both very demanding and very thrilling. It allows you to make the character using elements of yourself.”
Rupert Everett
“One of the great things about getting older is that unemployment becomes more and more fun.”
Tilda Swinton
“I’m basically interested in identity, and I still find fascinating the question: How do we identify ourselves, and how do we settle into other people`s expectations for our identity?”
Ralph Fiennes
“As an actor, a part of you expects to be looked at. A part of you wants to be looked at. But when I’m playing a part, in my imagined world, I feel I’m not me. I may be using bits of me, but I love the sense that I’m being someone else.”
Gary Oldman
“How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.”
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.”
Tim Roth
“I have a bad time between jobs because I’m always convinced I’ll never work again. I think it may be an English thing, this fear of unemployment.”
Greta Garbo
“Being a movie star, and this applies to all of them, means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace, you're just fair game.”
Brigitte Bardot
“If this fame, which people call my lucky break, were to stop tomorrow, I shouldn't care. ”
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.”
