I want to make movies like 'The Upside of Anger,' 'Maria Full of Grace,' old-school films like 'Some Kind of Wonderful' or 'Vision Quest': movies you remember songs and lines from.
Reggie Miller
You can't be pretentious about what we do, because at the end of the day, movies are about entertainment, and if people get 10 dollars' worth, then that's okay.
Jason Statham
I love David Lynch movies, and I like Haruki Murakami books.
Hiro Murai
Movies, TV, sports, come and go, but what you stand for is what people remember. Mandela, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy are people who really stood for something and were willing to die for it. You don't see a whole lot of that any more.
Christopher Judge
I went to film school at UT Austin. I learned a lot, and that school's good for puking up all your bad movies early and quick. But ultimately, no one can teach you to be an artist.
Jay Duplass
If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.
Griffin Dunne
When we go to see comedians or funny movies, they don't address the wall behind them; they face us. This is why a game's first job is to entertain through gameplay and secondarily through humor, drama, or other traditional entertainment devices. The humor has to be a gentleman. I mean, it needs to be squeezed in around the game.

Despite not looking like a matinee idol, I feel like I have a lot to give. I've never had any trouble with women. People are always surprised with the romantic aspect of my movies.
John C. Reilly
I was part of a group that had a cinema club so every week we would project two or three movies on 16 or 35mm.
Guillermo del Toro
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
Walt Disney
The movies we love and admire are to some extent a function of who we are when we see them.
Mary Schmich
You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction', and it goes right in the bin.
