Lee Tamahori
The more technology we introduce into society, the more people will aggregate, will want to be with other people: movies, rock concerts, shopping.
John Naisbitt
As a card-carrying space nerd and NASA's chief scientist, I love space movies, from 'Star Trek' to 'Star Wars' to my all-time favorite - 'The Dish', an Australian comedy that celebrates that first moment when Neil Armstrong stepped down onto the surface of our moon.
Ellen Stofan
I had a certain career as an actor that I think was quite personal as well, and had a lot of integrity, but I wasn't writing my own things or directing my own movies.
One of my favorite movies is 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.'
Liam Hemsworth
Before 'Schindler's List,' I wouldn't have believed movies had a lot of power for social change.
It is true that I got recognition. But however good the comedies are, nobody will accept a good comedy director as a good director. That is the sad part of it. Nobody knows who directed the 'Laurel and Hardy' movies. They know only Laurel and Hardy. Directors will never get a good name if they direct a comedy film.
Our audience for SCTV was older than today's moviegoers, and with the cost of making movies being what it is today, it's hard for the studios to take the kind of risks we took.
John Candy
The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors, there's a certain cringe factor that's involved with that.
David Lyons
Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.
Uwe Boll
I have an immense amount of respect for acting. I've always loved movies and was always fascinated by movie-making. But to become an actor, I wanted to commit myself.
I've signed on for four movies, and I'll do four. That's easy. No complications there.
Robbie Coltrane
