Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what`s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
Stanley Kubrick
I think every film I make that puts characters in jeopardy is me purging my own fears, sadly only to re-engage with them shortly after the release of the picture. I`ll never make enough films to purge them all.
Steven Spielberg
It can be a bit irritating when someone asks me how the new film`s coming along when I haven`t worked on Harry Potter for two years. Generally speaking, I have no problem with it. Most actors go through their careers without ever being involved in somethi...
Sean Biggerstaff
(on the 1976 remake of King Kong): "I was 15 when that film came out. I took the day off school, went into Wellington and was first in line to see it. It was a disappointment because I wanted it to have stop-motion animation, dinosaurs and the Empire Stat...
Peter Jackson
Actors think the grass is always greener. When you do a play, you wish you could be making easy money doing a film, because you work your butt off on the stage. Then you do your television and say, `God, if I have to do this one more time, I`ll just go cr...
Christopher McDonald
It`s a movie about fighters, not fighting. You know, I got over seeing myself on screen a long time ago, but watching this film really affects me. (Speaking of his role in Strength and Honour)
Michael Madsen
[On why his officially sanctioned DVDs contain no chapter stops]: "It is my opinion that a film is not like a book--it should not be broken up. It is a continuum and should be seen as such."
David Lynch
During an interview with Roger Ebert regarding his film Munich (2005) and the response from Jewish critics that claim it depicts Israeli and Palestinian causes as morally equivalent: Frankly, I think that`s a stupid charge. The people who attack the movie...
Steven Spielberg
Being a leading man on a film set under the direction of somebody like Dickie Attenborough [Richard Attenborough, director of Gandhi (1982)] is very empowering, and you have to be extremely careful how you use that power.
Ben Kingsley
[on directing "Maximum Overdrive"] I didn`t get the job because I went to film school. I got the job because I`m Stephen King. If you become famous enough, they`ll let you hang yourself in Times Square with live TV coverage.
Stephen King
I would say that the audience in India is very important for me. Not for every film, of course, and certainly not for Hysterical Blindness, but for films that have come from my heart, like Salaam Bombay and Monsoon Wedding.
Mira Nair
You can`t copy a film. If I hold a camera, it`s different than if Irving Penn holds it. Even if it`s in the same place, it will magically take on his character. Which was part of the experiment. Our `Psycho` showed that you can`t really appropriate. Or yo...
