Oh, I adored Mickey Mouse when I was a child. He was the emblem of happiness and funniness. You went to the movies then, you saw two movies and a short. When Mickey Mouse came on the screen and there was his big head, my sister said she had to hold onto me. I went berserk. Maurice Sendak on movies
Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film. Ralph Fiennes on movies
You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting. John Malkovich on movies
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it. John Malkovich on movies
Quite often - a lot of the work I had done had been extensively with women. Most especially in the theater, but also quite often in the movies. That has its own delights, and maybe pitfalls too. John Malkovich on movies
You have to read scripts and audition and develop relationships. It takes a long time to develop a body of work but over the last 25 years I guess I've done that many movies. In hindsight it may seem effortless, but there's a lot of work that goes into it. Harry Connick, Jr. on movies
More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services - from movies to agriculture to national defense. Marc Andreessen on movies
Steven Spielberg is unique. I feel that the kinds of movies he loves are the same kinds of movies that the big mass audience loves. He's very fortunate because he can do the things he naturally likes the best, and he's been very successful. Francis Ford Coppola on movies
When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies, I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget. Francis Ford Coppola on movies
I wanted to write and direct movies and not be forced to adapt them from a bestselling book. Francis Ford Coppola on movies
I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can. Francis Ford Coppola on movies
I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it. But you look at the project and think, 'Gee, there are a lot of good directors who could do that.' I'd like to do something only I can do. Francis Ford Coppola on movies
People feel the worst film I made was 'Jack.' But to this day, when I get checks from old movies I've made, 'Jack' is one of the biggest ones. No one knows that. If people hate the movie, they hate the movie. I just wanted to work with Robin Williams. Francis Ford Coppola on movies
I'm not mad about movies, there are too many people involved in the making of them, and they lack a definitive creative focus. David Bailey on movies
I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies. Kristen Stewart on movies
I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work. Kristen Stewart on movies
I mean, I love L.A. - I love living here. But I wish that we could make things without the need to hit a home run every single time. It's a unique thing to Hollywood that if you don't do that every time, then you're considered a failure. But it's like, 'Well, are you making movies to be successful? Or are you making movies to learn something?' Kristen Stewart on movies
It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves. Kristen Stewart on movies
It's a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do - you're proud of it - and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable. Kristen Stewart on movies
