Cinema is entertainment, and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything. Vincent Cassel
In America, we have so many movies and so much media about the Islamic world, the sub-continental world, but it's not a conversation, it's a monologue. It's always from one point of view. 'If we don't tell our own stories, no one will tell them' is my mantra. Mira Nair
I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. I just really, really amused myself and my friends with memorizing entire George Carlin or Steve Martin albums. Hank Azaria
Cronenberg's a lot of fun, and that a lot of people don't know watching his movies. He doesn't take himself seriously. He's still reinventing himself. Vincent Cassel
You know, I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. Hank Azaria
What I don't like are pompous, pretentious movies. Peter Jackson
I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other. Laura Dern
I usually do get the tomboy parts in the movies, which is kind of like me, but not totally. I like to shop as much as Ashley, but she is a little more of a girlie-girl than me. Mary-Kate Olsen
It is odd there are many movies with many men. But generally movies have one woman, or maybe the older woman and the younger girl. Carla Gugino
I'm not looking to lose anything. I'm looking to continue making movies. Johnny Knoxville
The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour. Laura Dern
I love doing serious movies for adults. Carla Gugino
Dance, vaudeville, drama, movies - as a child I loved everything that went on in a theater. James Broughton
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly. Laura Dern
I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision. Carla Gugino
I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life. Paul Thomas Anderson
I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good. Ivan Reitman
Unfortunately, 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that, yes, have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are, and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them. Carla Gugino
I had the standard movie geek childhood, because for as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was make movies. Paul Thomas Anderson
Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching. Ivan Reitman
