There are a lot of movies made for nobody.
Stan Brakhage
To transport picturegoers to a unique place in the glare of the earth, in the darkness of the heart - this, you realize with a gasp of joy, is what movies can do.
A lot of people die in my movies. So if you're in a few of my movies, you have a good chance of dying!
When I think of the definition of cool and when I look at people, John Travolta is really the definition of cool because, not only is he great in all his movies, but, as a person, he's just really cool.

I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning, in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.
You know what your problem is, it's that you haven't seen enough movies - all of life's riddles are answered in the movies.

I've made 122 movies, and I daresay there's a picture of mine showing somewhere in the world every day.
Tony Curtis
