We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we weren`t going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our own themes into these movies. What we were trying to do was to analyze what was important to Tolkien and to try to...
Peter Jackson
I`ve always loved the idea of fairy tales, but somehow I never managed to completely connect with them. What interests me is taking those classic images and themes and trying to contemporize them a bit. I believe folk tales and fairy tales have some sort ...
Tim Burton
About the The Passion of the Christ (2004): This movie is about faith, hope, love and forgiveness. Themes that are as important now as they were in Jesus` time.
Mel Gibson
First of all, you never make all things for all people and can`t always pander to the broadest denominator. I keep an eye toward doing the themes that interest me. Do they move me? Interest me? Make me think? When I run across something that is provocativ...
Edward Norton
I also believe that you are what you have to defend, and if you`re a black man that`s always going to be the bar against which you are judged, whether you want to align yourself with those themes or not. You can think of yourself as a colourless person, b...
Don Cheadle
You have to be able to deploy the themes that you want to address with a minimum of means, otherwise you aren`t going to be able to get it made.
Atom Egoyan
Working on the themes I was interested in, through the context of a particular family, was a very economical way of dealing with a lot of the issues I was concerned with.
Atom Egoyan
When I look back over my novels what I find is that when I think I`m finished with a theme, I`m generally not. And usually themes will recur from novel to novel in odd, new guises.
Richard Russo
Well the themes for me were and remain sex and love and grief and death - the things that make us and undo us, create and destroy, how we breed and disappear and the emotional context that surrounds these events.
Thomas Lynch
We were delighted to find out that here was someone in the US who was exploring the same themes as us, in terms of diaspora, culture, cultural negotiations and identity.
Gurinder Chadha
We used the Western style to express our own themes and stories. But don`t forget that our heritage includes The Thousand and One Nights.
Naguib Mahfouz
We grew up as kids watching those movies and we were exposed to themes of civil rights, unfairness, bigotry and fathers struggling against the kind of mob of the town, so you remember how you felt as a kid being taken seriously, that you are part of the h...
Rachel Griffiths
The whole thing about making films in an organic film on location is that it`s not all about characters, relationships and themes, it`s also about place and the poetry of place. It`s about the spirit of what you find, the accidents of what you stumble acr...
Mike Leigh
The fact that we are I don`t know how many millions of people, yet communication, complete communication, is completely impossible between two of those people, is to me one of the biggest tragic themes in the world.
Georges Simenon
Straight-away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind`s eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration.
Johannes Brahms
Rather like Batman, I embody the themes of the movie which are the values of family, courage and compassion and a sense of right and wrong, good and bad and justice.
Gary Oldman
People don`t think their dreams amount to much, but when I ask them to examine them for common themes, they surprise themselves at how accurate they are! They see that their dreams have value.
Alexander Wiley
Our life is a book that writes itself and whose principal themes sometimes escape us. We are like characters in a novel who do not always understand what the author wants of them.
Allen Dulles
It`s just hard. I wish the studios felt there was more value in these themes and these pieces of material - that they`re worth protecting more. Because then it just wouldn`t happen. If the studios cared, the stuff would be stopped in a second.
Danny Elfman
It is very much a character piece and very much about relationships. A lot of the themes in the film are about isolation and love, with all the characters isolated in some way.
Andy Serkis
I`ve always written about `My girlfriend did this and here`s how I feel about it,` or `I had a fight with this person. None of these songs are about those things. I pushed a lot of personal limits, and Holly Wood helps navigate through the themes of love ...
Ryan Key
