Senator John Kerry
I`m not perfect! I`m human. I make mistakes. But I try to be as conscious as I can about things I should be. If I`m going to do something commercial and mainstream and made for the masses, I just believe you can make those kinds of films with quality - an...
Reese Witherspoon
[On his filmmaking style] American critics always complain about the blandness of mainstream movies, but when you do something more ambiguous and ironic, they are pissed off too. I like putting certain aspects of American society under the magnifying glas...
Paul Verhoeven
A lot of it is being done in commercials and music videos. I`ve never done them, but I think that those are forms in which cross-cutting and parallel action are absolutely standard and accepted as a mainstream language. Film-makers like myself enjoy the f...
Christopher Nolan
I don`t mind Hollywood. After all, I don`t make movies that are like avant garde or not understandable. I just like to make a mainstream movie with all the edges that existed in the writing and I don`t like to see it flattened out in order to cater to aud...
Kevin Costner
I don`t intentionally choose movies that aren`t going to be successful commercially. It just happens that the most interesting scripts I read are outside the mainstream. I like characters who have an edge to them, who are going to do something unexpected.
Ed Harris
The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it - I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics is hopeles...
Hayao Miyazaki
I`m not mainstream-looking. I`m not very skinny. I`m not ...like....beautiful. The point of mainstream movies is to cast someone that everyones` going to love. Because of my persona, I`m controversial. I don`t do anything in my real life to deserve that. ...
Christina Ricci

Christina Ricci
I think you have to keep your distance from mainstream Hollywood in order to be a normal human being. I mean, I work there, and I like being there, but I love having an anonymous life. I think there`s definitely such a thing as being too famous.
The re...
Sarah Polley
Mainstream America is depending on you - counting on you - to draw your sword and fight for them. These people have precious little time or resources to battle misguided Cinderella attitudes, the fringe propaganda of the homosexual coalition, the feminist...
Charlton Heston
[1999 Quote]: I`d like to be an action hero, but I don`t think they`d ever make me that type of leading man. I`m too quirky. If they put me in Speed 3, two days later they`d go, "Yep, we`re gonna have to fire him now. Can we get someone more mainstream?" ...
Sam Rockwell
I don`t want to be in the mainstream. I don`t want to be a part of the demographics. I want to be an individual. I wear each of my films as a badge of pride. That`s why I cherish all my bad reviews. If the critics start liking my movies, then I`m in deep ...
John Carpenter
It is not easy to get parts in mainstream films for most people of color. Hollywood and British writers are not writing parts for us, or the directors are not interested in casting us in parts that are color-blind.
Naveen Andrews
But in mainstream movies the woman`s role is mostly just to prove that the leading man is heterosexual. I`m not good at that, and I`m not interested in that.
Jennifer Leigh
There are certainly laws and elements that make a film more accessible to mainstream audiences. If you`ve got Tom Cruise as a strongman, I`m sure it would have larger audiences, but it wouldn`t have the same substance.
Werner Herzog
It doesn`t feel like that. The big producers still want Kate Winslet and Kate Beckinsale, I suppose. - on whether she has made it into mainstream Hollywood
Emily Mortimer
The exploitation films were made in such an artless way with these big wide shots of Sunset Boulevard or of Arcadia or downtown L.A. or wherever. In mainstream films, especially in the 1980s, the Los Angeles you saw wasn`t the real one; it was a character...
Quentin Tarantino
(On Dead Poets Society (1989)) The experience on that movie was, for lack of a better term, life-altering. Peter Weir has a unique talent for making movies that are intelligent but also mainstream. I`ve never been terribly successful at doing that.
Ethan Hawke
When I performed I was thinking, you all look like you should be seeing Phil Collins. Then I thought, hang on, I sound like Phil Collins. So I`ve changed. I`m not comfortable with the mainstream thing. (On his pop sound during the 1980s)
David Bowie
With the exception of the New York Times, Fox news, and Lou Dobbs of CNN, and talk radio, the rest of the mainstream media has basically been silenced like a bunch of dumb monkeys.
Alan Merten
While mainstream media is led by profit, ratings and popularist culture and filtered by the current political climate, Alternative Media is lead solely by the convictions of the campaign and film maker.
Al Mansell
Whether something is old-fashioned or not doesn`t resolve the question of whether it`s true or not. I can see the temptation of simply thinking, `Well, there`s a cultural mainstream which flows neatly in one direction. You just align with it`. And that re...
Andre Nel
When you`ve got a nation fighting a war and ... the one place in the mainstream media that seems to be doing the most about the wounded of that war is a comic strip, I think that speaks volumes.
