Way back in the '70s, I was approached to talk about the story I'd write for a Spider-Man movie. They also talked to me about Batman. I had to think about it, but that was way, way back when. (John Carpenter)
I've gone through various periods with superheroes. They work in the right hands, but they don't work in other hands. It's tricky. But any movie is tricky. It's impossible to say, 'This is what you do in any situation. View quote
John Carpenter
There's a real cowardice in the movie business. If you don't meet the right crazy people, you can't do it. View quote
Leos Carax
The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I'm interested in and then I decide I'm going to explore it. I don't know where the characters are going to go, I don't know what the movie is going to do or what the screenplay is going to do. For me, that's the way to keep it alive. View quote
Charlie Kaufman
I hate a movie that will end by telling you that the first thing you should do is learn to love yourself. That is so insulting and condescending, and so meaningless. My characters don't learn to love each other or themselves. View quote
Charlie Kaufman
I always enjoyed horror, both as a kid and as a young man. Then when I was doing stunts in horror movies and was lucky enough to get the role as Jason the first time then that's when everything changed. Once you get known in horror then every small horror film wants you to be in their movie because your name is known in the horror genre and that helps sell the movie. Very often, if they're smart, they will offer you different kind of roles which I personally love. When somebody offers me something that I've never done before, that's what I'm looking for.

It's something very few actors really get to experience. When you're a character actor or voiceover guy, it's job to job. You're like a migrant worker, almost. The longevity [of "SpongeBob”] is an unbelievable statistical anomaly. It's like, I didn't buy that many lottery tickets and I won the lottery. It's a totally random, harmonic convergence of people you met and your agent getting you an audition. Actors have so little control over their own lives; it's nice to have something you're not in control of that's actually positive. There was a point when "SpongeBob” was cancelled after the first few seasons and the first movie. We went to a wrap party that I thought was the season wrap party but was the series wrap party. Nobody knew. So I already feel like I dodged a bullet. View quote

A movie is about human beings, about humanity. View quote
Abbas Kiarostami
The fact is, when I wrote 'Juno' - and I think this is part of its charm and appeal - I didn't know how to write a movie. And I also had no idea it was going to get made! View quote
Diablo Cody
Personally, I consider 'Titanic' the most brilliant example of successful counterprogramming; the film actually countered itself by embedding an epic chick flick within a classic disaster movie. View quote
Diablo Cody
I wrote a screenplay for a 'Sweet Valley High' adaptation, and it's really amazing to me how many women who are my age have responded to the idea and are excited about the movie. (Diablo Cody)
There are characters that have made me uncomfortable. I did a film called 'Rob Roy,' and I played Killearn, who was this sort of greasy fallen-angel character who was voyeuristic and sleazy and really unpleasant. It was a great role, but I didn't especially enjoy living with this awful man for the length of time it took to make the movie. View quote
Brian Cox
Now that this mess is almost behind me – I just have one last request: HBO, when you make the movie about this whole NBC late night fiasco, I'd like to be played by Academy-Award winning actress Tilda Swinton. View quote
Conan O'Brien
I wanted to make these people real, not like they were in a painting. Like these are people who don't know they're in a period movie. Those concerns are incredibly immediate. View quote
Neil LaBute
It may be a mistake to say this, but I know my limitations as an actor and I know what I can and can not do. Robert De Niro can do everything. I can't. A 'Highlander' movie is basically my thing. What I'm attempting to do is develop my ability as an actor and try to be the best I can be in the fantasy/action genre. View quote
Christopher Lambert
I can't let go of my own vision of Nightmare on Elm Street, I just don't want to, I don't want to see another person play Freddy Kruger. I don't want to see scenes that we worked really hard on be reimagined. I respect their reason for doing it but I don't want to have it in my imagination or my mind. Those memories are so precious to me. I was a teenager when I made that movie so it's so formative. My friendship with Robert Englund is so important to me that I don't need it. View quote
Heather Langenkamp
The organization that it takes to make a movie like 'Star Trek' is amazing, intimidating and fascinating. View quote
Heather Langenkamp
So don't tell me the story of your life I'd rather watch the movie Your Hollywood smile is not enough You're giving me the blues So when are you going to understand I'm not the woman to make you a man. View quote
Anni-Frid Lyngstad
'Teen Beach Movie' was a lot of fun because we were in Puerto Rico on an island - you can't even call it work! View quote
Ross Lynch
A movie loosely based upon my novel, I Know What You Did Last Summer, opened in theaters around the country. I was ecstatic until I settled into a theater seat with my box of popcorn and discovered that Hollywood had turned my teenage suspense story into a slasher film. The setting had been changed from the mountains of New Mexico to a fishing village on the East Coast, so an insane fisherman, who wasn't in my book, could decapitate my characters with an ice hook. The first thing I did after leaving the theater was phone our daughter Kerry and warn her not to let the grandchildren see it. View quote

I can't pretend to have worked my way up through adversity. I need the money not for food like other people, but to prove that I'm worth something. Jaws freed me to discover that a successful movie didn't make a damn bit of difference to my life. (Lorraine Gary)

Filming 'Eclipse' - Eclipse was my favorite book so I was really excited to start filming the movie. I just love that it's the height of the love triangle. 'Twilight' develops Edward and Bella's relationship, 'New Moon' develops Jacob and Bella's and in 'Eclipse,' the three of them are physically together. View quote
Taylor Lautner
Honestly, I try and stay away from what's been written about me, because if you let that stuff get to you and it's not true it can drive you crazy. One thing that I have heard recently which is not true, I didn't say it, is that I believe I was quote saying 'I will never take my shirt off for a movie again.' I didn't say that. View quote
Taylor Lautner
If I start thinking, 'Is this movie going to open? Is this movie going to do well?' I'm not focusing on the job. The job is to make a good movie. View quote
