I like Telugu movies, then comes Bollywood and then English movies. In Tollywood, I like Mahesh Babu and Prabhas. But no, I don’t watch all their movies. I first find out if the movie is nice. If it’s a flop, I don’t watch it.
I’ve tried to reinvent myself from time to time, and I enjoy doing movies.
All my good movies, nobody sees.
The reason I took Early Edition – besides the fact that I liked it – was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It’s a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
It’s like those high-school yearbook photos that everyone would rather not see: Oh my God, look at that mullet hair. I have those photos too, but for me, they’re, like, entire movies. And they show them on cable.
Movies began as a communal experience. Even though we now watch them as DVD’s, sometimes alone on our computers, mostly in the history of cinema it has been a communal experience.
I have been pregnant in so many movies it’s ridiculous.
There’s not much to do in Atlanta, so the cast went to the gym together, went shopping together, and dinner was always a group thing. It’s that whole summer-camp experience that making movies tends to be anyway.
I like cable: you only work four months out of the year and have the other eight months to do movies if you want.
‘Braveheart’ is one of my favorite movies, and to be part of an epic sprawling period film is on my bucket list: something with some grandeur to it, a really awesome score, something that’s just kind of moving, you know.
After I was fired from Disney, I did some of the worst movies ever made and I got professionally involved with a manager who said it didn’t matter what you did as long as you kept working. I wound up completely broke.
I was glad to know that ‘Caravan’ was one of the first movies from Bollywood that was loved by the Chinese audience.
If people are constantly reading about you, and you’re overexposed, they’ve got no reason to go see your movies. Also, it’s not pleasant or nice to have your privacy invaded.
When my mother got home from work, she would take me to the movies. It was her way of getting out, and she would take me with her. I’d go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor.
I grew up watching movies and television, and one day, when I was really young, I told my mom I wanted to become an actor, and she was really supportive and got me involved in local theater and commercials.
A lot of the struggle I had with movies is I really loved moments and tones and feelings in a scene, and I loved creating those, but I never really had great stories to string them together.
We need to see men and women as equal partners, but it’s hard to think of movies that do that. When I talk to people, they think of movies of forty-five years ago! Hepburn and Tracy!
Our wishes are our most reliable mirror, and the black-and-white movies I’m most drawn to are about artists who suffer because art is a noble thing; suffering is such a small price to pay for the imagination.
Movies can’t ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
When I can’t sleep, I’ll start thinking about how many shows I’ve done, count up the number of television shows and movies.
I love my early movies, but naturalism is an artist’s early style. Now I want to deal with feelings, dreams, an acceptance of irrationality.
I really don’t like plays or movies that service propaganda.
Growing up, all of my friends would set their schedules to the showing of kung fu movies on TV.
A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He’d be a good film professor.
Movies take a long time because movies take a long damn time to put work into. Whereas music, you don’t have as much time. I didn’t realize that.
