I think movies are a director's medium in the end. Theater is the actor's medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance. Sam Mendes
The guy that made me wanna make movies... and this is off the wall-is a guy named Michael Pal, the British director. George A. Romero
You just never know when movies are going to take off or not. The lucky thing about this was that it didn't cost a lot of money, and therefore there wasn't loads of pressure on me. Sam Mendes
I've made movies that cost less than one car chase. Sam Mendes
Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die. George A. Romero
But I don't think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeare's Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame. Julie Taymor
When I was old enough to go to movies alone, I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them. George A. Romero
I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didn't like me. I guess I wasn't a certain type. Leelee Sobieski
I worked so hard for so long - I did a lot of movies. I also worked a lot when my kids were smaller, before they were in school. Michelle Pfeiffer

The cardinal sin in sports, what could really wreck it, is not cheating to win, which has gone on forever, but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports' appeal, which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed, they're no different from movies they're scripted. Michael Mandelbaum
When I finally got up to Industrial Light And Magic to work on the 'Star Wars' movies as a model-maker, it felt like dying and going to heaven. Adam Savage
The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better. Ewan McGregor
'Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that. Gary Ross
Obviously I love 'The Godfather' movies. I think they're phenomenal. Gary Ross
Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. It's almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies. Gary Ross
I think movies do play a valuable role in turning people on to the act of reading. I think that phenomenon just creates readers. At first they're going to love 'Harry Potter,' or they may love 'The Hunger Games,' but after that, they're going to love the act of reading and wonder, 'What else can I read?' Gary Ross
I love all the old classic Disney movies. 'Pinocchio.' There are obviously tons of them that anybody growing up on that stuff takes with them their whole lives, and I'm an admirer of a lot of classic animation and fairy tales. I grew up on a book of Grimm's fairy tales that I kind of wore out again and again. That's all stuff that lingers with you. Gary Ross
I'm always happy when I hear about people selling records or selling books or selling movies. It makes me proud of them. Ian MacKaye
