I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him. Jane Fonda
De Niro was a hero of mine. And Sean Penn. But I've realized I can't operate at that level of intensity. That's okay for movies. On TV, when you live with horror day in and day out, you have to protect yourself. Christopher Meloni
I rarely see one of the 'summer blockbuster' movies. I'd like to see a stronger focus on smaller, smarter movies. Christopher Meloni
I took acting classes in college, and once I graduated, I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent, and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys, which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies. Christopher Meloni

My passion is doing movies, so as long as I keep doing that I will be happy. Vanessa Hudgens

Reality TV looks more like America than movies do. Gabrielle Union
I'm a weird big guy. Doing rapping, doing movies. Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way. Shaquille O'Neal
I've played a lot of mothers in my movies. Vera Farmiga
There really are three types of 'religious' movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted. Vera Farmiga
I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other. Vera Farmiga
I am a filmmaker. That is all I've ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food. Alton Brown
Why be boring? Have some fun. Rock shows should be like movies: I don't go to a movie hoping it'll change my life. Alice Cooper
Even if we die at 100, we're still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There's a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I'm not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years. Alexander Payne
I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters. Michael Sheen
