This collection of quotes captures the essence of the industry, offering unique perspectives on its power, challenges, and influence.
I was living in London and I thought, 'There's nothing here for me anymore.' I don't want to become this actor who's going to be doing this occasional good work in the theater and then ever diminishing bad television. I thought I'd rather do bad movies than bad television because you get more money for it.
Brian Cox
Often we'd secretly like to do the very things we discipline ourselves against. Isn't that true? Well, here in the movies I can be as mean, as wicked as I want to - and all without hurting anybody.
Claude Rains
I'll watch movies I like to see, Steve Jobs interviews, something that's going to make me smart and then go to sleep.
Jaden Smith
Like any long-running series, 'Planet of the Apes' - which spans 10 films and more than 50 years - has its lows. But those are well outnumbered by the films that deliver real thrills, showcase strong (and occasionally exceptional) performances and, rare among Hollywood movies of its type, provoke thoughtful discussion of serious ideas.
Jamelle Bouie
I honestly don't love the Cheech and Chong movies, I've got to say.
Seth Rogen
I had decided after 'Hollow Man' to stay away from science fiction. I felt I had done so much science fiction. Four of the six movies I made in Hollywood are science-fiction oriented, and even 'Basic Instinct' is kind of science fiction.
Paul Verhoeven
I do enjoy animated movies.
Nicolas Cage
I go to the movies at least five times a week, and after a while everything becomes a blur to me.
David Sedaris
So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.
Stanley Tucci
I've wanted recognition; I wanted success; I wanted appreciation; I love the perks of being in the movies. I love the fame that comes with it - but that's why I became an actor.
Vidya Balan
Having watched 'The Lone Ranger,' I asked my dad, 'You think we can be on TV like that guy?' He said, 'Probably not. You have to be 6 feet and blond to work in TV and movies.' I said, 'But what about that guy? Jay Silverheels?'
Wes Studi
Sometimes I find some movies patronizing, which I feel is the ultimate crime.
Dito Montiel
