Cinema Quotes - page 17

The cinema is there to heighten the imagination; I have always tried to make sure it does so. (Ken Adam)

Growing up in Hollywood, like I did, I have a passion and a love for the movies, so I go to the cinema all the time.

Leonard Slatkin

French cinema has always been very interesting, and it's still very powerful. I think it goes to show that it's great to still have a cinema that doesn't try to emulate, for example, American cinema.

Louis Leterrier

Having a movie that lasts and makes your image imprinted into the history of cinema, it's very positive.

Ludivine Sagnier

I really have problems with horror movies. I don't watch them. It's a feeling I don't want to have in cinema. I'm too reactive. It's too draining to watch that kind of movie.

Ludivine Sagnier

I come from an everyday middle class family in India. The film industry reached us only through our television sets and cinema halls.

Lavrenti Lopes

I was always intrigued with European cinema, and hated most American cinema. I didn't like the one, two, three - boom! style, with a neat and tidy ending. That was never my scene.

Lee Daniels

There were many films made for both cinema and television, and in general I don't connect them very much with our books. I have one favorite: 'The Man on the Roof' by director Bo Widerberg, which was based on 'The Abominable Man.'

Maj Sjowall

I have always been clear that cinema is not my priority and that my family is.

Malaika Arora Khan

I'm of course disillusioned with what has happened to World cinema. Now cinemas in both Eastern and Western Europe are filled with the same blockbusters from Hollywood.

Alexander Walker

I like it when I go into a cinema and I'm not aware that I'm there; I'm totally involved in the film for two hours. (Atticus Ross)

Korean cinema is very improvisational, and there is a unique power that stems from this.

Bae Doona

I need theatre for my equilibrium, because in theatre the actors don't care so much about image, about celebrity - you are more independent. There is not the narcissism, maybe, that you find in cinema.

Clotilde Hesme

I'm not a Little Englander. Historically, British people have always been travellers. I look in the world as one place. You have to think in a global sense. Cinema is a global endeavour. My roots are in England but my endeavours are worldwide.

Jeremy Thomas

Cinema was my rite of passage.

John Singleton

Filmmaking has always involved pairs: a director coupled with a producer, a director alongside an editor... The notion of couples is not foreign to cinema.

Luc Dardenne

I happen to love working in cinema, but the theater is always there... you know, and I would never shut the door on it. Even though it's been quite a bit of time since I've done a play, last one was in New York.

Michael York

I feel very much ideologically, politically if you like, and emotionally part of the European cinema.

Mike Leigh

Writers would hate me saying this, and I love words, but I have to say that cinema exists, on one level, for the power of the big image and what that image does.

Miranda Otto

The theatre fulfills, whereas the cinema is empty.

Marie Trintignant

I think most people, no matter their status now, have big screen TVs, because they're the standard TVs now. And so why would you go to the cinema? (Noel Clarke)

I think that in the realm of commercial, popcorn cinema, the amount of message or smuggling of ideas you can get in there is quite limited. Like, if you think you're going to make a difference or change anything, you're on pretty dangerous thin ice.

Neill Blomkamp

There's a difference between watching a film and watching a bit of cinema and enjoying a film as a piece of cinema.

Nick Frost

You see thousands of films you forget the minute you come out of the cinema, don't you? Because they don't mean anything. It's the tough ones like 'Breaking the Waves' and 'Nil By Mouth' that stay with you, that you never forget. I'd like to leave a few of those behind if possible.

Olivia Colman

I don't think I'm the world's most die-hard sci-fi fan, but I definitely grew up watching 'Star Trek' religiously - all of them: the original, 'Next Generation,' 'Deep Space Nine,' 'Voyager.' I think sci-fi has an important place in the cinema world. Fantasy is a big part of why films actually exist.
