There are lots of things to do. Lots of movies to catch. Lots of places to visit… I try to bring in every real life experience into my acting.
I’ve always endeavored to make movies with my friends.
My mum and my dad have really good taste in movies. My gran would tape them off the TV and write notes about them, rating them.
I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.
A financial shift happened with ‘Facing the Giants’ and ‘Fireproof,’ where movies that were faith-based films were profitable. And people in Hollywood – like people in downtown U.S.A. – are out to make money.
It’s nice to see a story that centers around other couples, instead of having, you know, the sassy gay friend or the funny best friend or the assistant, which is just like these stereotypical roles that tend to be put in movies.
Growing up, movies were something my family and, later, my friends and I would stay up all night talking about. The movies I remember moved me and forced you to think about things that made you know yourself better.
Commercials led to TV, and TV led to movies here and there.
I thought I’d be a low-key producer or something, politics and film at the same time. But also, I’m not a big movie person – my girlfriend gets mad at me because I go to sleep whenever we go to the movies.
I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.
A lot of people die in my movies. So if you’re in a few of my movies, you have a good chance of dying!
On radio and television, magazines and the movies, you can’t tell what you’re going to get. When you look at the comic page, you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.
I think that all stories – if you make movies about zombies and aliens – it has always to do with your personal story. If not directly, it is about your fears, your obsessions, things like that.
After the release of movies like ‘Chidambarathil Oru Appasamy’ and ‘Amirtham,’ I was branded as an actress who can do only homely roles.
I’m terrified of the supernatural things, which is why I’m very grateful that I don’t see things like that. Because if I did see things of the paranormal persuasion, I don’t think I’d be able to continue making scary movies.
People don’t learn science in movies. You don’t go to the movies thinking, ‘I hope I learn some quantum mechanics this afternoon.’ But on the other hand, movies are instrumental and influential in getting young people interested in science.
I can’t get my head around the fact that the technology of the first two movies, which are forty years prior to Star Wars, is so much better than any technology they had in Star Wars!
My mother had to send me to the movies with my birth certificate, so that I wouldn’t have to pay the extra fifty cents that the adults had to pay.
My son, he has a film group, a bunch of film nerds that sit around and screen movies, and when they had Mary Steenburgen Night, the two movies they screened were ‘Melvin And Howard’ and ‘Clifford.’
I know it is one of the most important instruments and inventions, the electric guitar, to me, since television or movies or anything like that.
I was a national level golf player. I gave up golf after a while when I wanted to model, as I would tan while playing it. I love watching movies and hanging out with my friends in Delhi.
Movies may be as close to a document of our national culture as there is; they’re supposed to represent what we believe ourselves to be. So when you don’t see yourself at all – or see yourself erased – that hurts.
I’ve always felt that really good prequels should be original movies.
I’m interested in existential films: I love movies that console you in the same way that a person consoles a weeping child.
I remember watching Audrey Hepburn dancing in movies, and I was inspired by how graceful she looked, though I understand it was no easy task.
