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
I love playing women who are not ashamed to be strong. There are many of us out there, you know, and we would love to see more of us on the screen.
Sybil Danning
[On explaining why she never tapped on-screen] I was pulled up as a ballet dancer and I wasn`t used to pounding the floor with bent knees.
Cyd Charisse
To be certain, neither I nor my film is anti-Semitic. The Passion is a movie meant to inspire, not offend. My intention in bringing it to the screen is to create a lasting work of art and engender serious thought among audiences of diverse faith backgroun...
Mel Gibson
You know, when you see yourself on a big screen, I tend to watch from behind my hands. There is absolutely the regret. You always get that at the end of every project. That`s what`s great about theater: at least every night you get the chance to go out an...
Cate Blanchett
[On seeing her Girl, Interrupted (1999) character on screen] "I always envisioned her looking like a spindly blonde, but she looked like me".
Brittany Murphy
(Expressing his displeasure about not getting enough screen time on "Saturday Night Live" (1975)): "All that waiting around for a glimmer of stage time, just getting angry every week...It was just an oppressive, horrible, horrible place to be. I went to w...
Jay Mohr
I did feel that I was in my mother`s shadow and that I was always trying to prove myself. I think the truth is, it`s you on the stage, it`s you on the screen, in the end. There are more children of famous people that you haven`t heard of...or they`re in r...
Blanche Baker
I agree with Walter Murch`s theory that digital will never have the emotional or visual power of regular film, because audiences respond to absences. Regular film has a split second of blank screen between each shot, which the audience`s brain has to auto...
Natalie Portman
[speaking in the late 60s] "I admire some of the people on the screen today, but most of them look like everybody else. In our days we had individuality. Pictures were more sophisticated. All this nudity is too excessive and it is getting very boring. It ...
Myrna Loy
Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas upon which the women paint their dreams.
Rudolph Valentino
[on James Cagney] Jimmy Cagney was the most dynamic man who ever appeared on the screen. He should have won five Oscars, he was so fabulous. He stimulated me to such an extent. I must say that I didn`t have to act very much; I just had to react to him bec...
Virginia Mayo
My career went into the hole after Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). People might have seen what they saw on screen and subconsciously, people in the business might have taken what they saw literally. I think people thought, `He got fat. He got weird...
Benicio Del Toro
[on Rudolf Valentino] That Valentino was certainly a very splendid fellow. And his unique glamor was not entirely due to the fact that he was unhampered by banal dialogue. Modern dialogue is not always banal, and the screen hero who could match Valentino`...
James Mason
[On the shooting for his writing/directing debut Nil by Mouth (1997)]: I set aside three weeks for rehearsals. Those long scenes are like a play. But I wanted things loosely structured, more like jazz. Though there was very little improv on screen, someti...
Gary Oldman
Wong Kar Wai is a very intense character, very personable, and I believe in general he does not like and he would not want his actors to show their true looks and their true personality on screen. (on working with Kar Wai Wong).
Andy Lau
[speaking in 2004] There certainly is such a thing as screen chemistry, although I don`t believe you find it frequently. There was a definite on-screen chemistry between Errol [Errol Flynn] and me. Before us, the most potent example was Janet Gaynor and C...
Olivia De Havilland

Olivia De Havilland
Some producer suddenly grabbed my doughnut out of my hand. Then he said, `Anna, you really shouldn`t be doing that`. He said, `your tummy`s not looking right on screen`. If it`s just about that they should have hired a model. I mean, we`re not talking abo...
Anna Friel
[on Robert De Niro] And even now I still know of nobody who can surprise me on the screen the way he does -- and did then. No actor comes to mind who can provide such power and excitement.
Martin Scorsese
That was first thing I ever did that I could actually stand to watch on screen - the first time I wasn`t acutely mortified. - On The Long Goodbye (1973)
Sterling Hayden
As an actor, you have to admit you are a show-off. But with so many magazines like Heat, it`s diminishing the mystery of going to see somebody on the big screen. The less you know about somebody the better.
Ioan Gruffudd
A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.
Samuel Goldwyn
