In Malaysia, where Western culture was extremely influential, I'd grown up listening to Elvis and the Beatles and watching American movies. People wanted to be like Americans.

I didn't watch horror movies when I was a kid. I didn't watch any bad movies. Votes: 4 Colin Trevorrow
All my friends were in college when I was making 'Superbad.' We were drinking beer and watching movies and eating pizza. It wasn't like I was going to nice restaurants or anything like that, and I lived like a frat guy. Eventually it was time to grow up, be healthy and be responsible. You can't live like a kid forever, you know? Votes: 1 Jonah Hill

TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realised I had. I hope to do more. Votes: 3 Sharon Stone
Part of the reason why movie bosses are so obsessed with crime movies is because they know that world and the criminals. And that's what they are - they would not hesitate to act illegally to achieve profit and gain. Votes: 3 Peter Mullan
I don't want to slam the cute and fun movies out there, but it gets old. Votes: 1 John Corbett
The problem with my mind is it sways from side to side. The idea of me fantasizing about becoming an actor quickly led to depression. 'No, it was never going to happen to me.' I was a sixteen-year-old kid on the other side of the world from where they made movies. Scottish actors never really got play. There was Sean Connery, and that was it. Votes: 1 Gerard Butler
Movies alone have the hideous capacity to do everything for you. So in directing movies, you have to figure how to leave things out - because when you leave things out, you evoke the imaginative participation of the audience. Votes: 4 Alison Owen

I don't think you retire from movies; movies retire you. Votes: 4 Michael Caine
In Hollywood, they think drawn animation doesn't work anymore, computers are the way. They forget that the reason computers are the way is that Pixar makes good movies. So everybody tries to copy Pixar. They're relying too much on the technology and not enough on the artists. Votes: 2 Tim Burton
Oh, I adored Mickey Mouse when I was a child. He was the emblem of happiness and funniness. You went to the movies then, you saw two movies and a short. When Mickey Mouse came on the screen and there was his big head, my sister said she had to hold onto me. I went berserk. Votes: 1 Maurice Sendak
I would say the film world has stopped operating as one. We have divided it into Hindi movies, Bengali movies, Tamil movies and so on. Earlier, there was only one channel and we all knew what was going on. Today, it is hard to keep track of programmes due to the advent of regional channels. Votes: 1 Mithun Chakraborty

I have learned the art of filling in your lines with your visuals and your movies and your imagination. Votes: 1 Daphne Zuniga
It'll be the Internet and piracy that will kill film. There's a philosophy that the Internet should be free, but the reality is that piracy will destroy the film industry and film as an art form because it's expensive to make a movie. Maybe you'll have funky little independent movies, and it'll go back and then start up again some other way. Votes: 4 Helen Mirren
I'm not a big fan of western movies and I really don't like cowboy-indian movies. I have never watched them. Votes: 3 Heath Ledger
I get inspiration from movies, from fashion, then completely random things you'd never think of. Votes: 1 Santigold
I have no personal experience in the military. All I know about it is what I've seen in movies and read in books and watched on television.

'A Brief Encounter with the Enemy' was created by taking bits and pieces from here and there, and then putting my own spin on them. Votes: 3 Said Sayrafiezadeh
Oh God, I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but I grew up falling asleep in church because I was tired from watching horror movies late at night. Votes: 3 KaDee Strickland

The first Disney movie I saw I think was 'Snow White.' I loved all the Disney princess movies. Votes: 3 Lily James
Everything we have today that's cool comes from someone wanting more of something they loved in the past. Action figures, videogames, superhero movies, iPods: All are continuations of a love that wanted more. Votes: 1 Patton Oswalt
I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience, but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way. Votes: 1 Zoe Kazan
Cinema Paradiso, because it reminds me of why I make movies, the magic of movies, the romance of movies. Votes: 5 Antoine Fuqua
My characters always start well in movies. Almost every movie I've done starts with a happy marriage, it's all beautiful, wealthy, whatever... and then of course my husband leaves me, and everything falls apart. Votes: 1 Carole Bouquet
Movies are a commercial medium. We don't make movies to impress our friends and critics. It's an expensive medium. We have to gain money from it. Votes: 3 Ranbir Kapoor

Robots have a rich and storied history in movies. Votes: 1 John Podhoretz
The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't. Votes: 2 Joseph L. Mankiewicz
I actually write film music because I'm classically trained on the piano so as well as songwriting I also write actual film music that could be used for movies like war movies and love movies. Votes: 3 Vanessa Brown
In the history of comics and movies and music too, it's always when things are at their bottomed-out, either creatively or financially, there's more chance-taking going on. Votes: 3 Brian Michael Bendis
Well, I was born and raised in the Midwest, in Indiana specifically, and my childhood was full of weekend movies, you know, the Saturday and Sunday popcorn movies. Votes: 1 Sydney Pollack

I love animated movies in general. I like making them. Votes: 3 Abigail Breslin
In my grammar school years back in the 1920s I used my ten-cents-a-week allowance for Saturday matinees of Douglas Fairbanks movies. All that swashbuckling and leaping about in the midst of the sails of ships! Votes: 1 Beverly Cleary
I started out coming from more of a concert music background. It just turns out that 20th-century music techniques lend themselves to scary movies and horror movies. Votes: 1 Marco Beltrami
It's really hard for actors to cross over and get any respect as a singer, and if I could just keep it separate and not use my music in movies, it's cool. Votes: 3 Taryn Manning
I get ideas from everywhere: movies, books, movies, nature - it comes into my brain, it sits there for a while, and it starts coming back out. Votes: 1 Tony DiTerlizzi
How many actors have a shot at being a part of something that became a part of pop culture? It's been very rewarding. I'm not getting the 20 million bucks for the new movies, but at least I'm getting warmth and recognition from people wherever I go. Votes: 3 Adam West
My dream remains to inform and entertain through fiction in the form of novels and movies that compete in the marketplace of ideas. Votes: 4 Jerry B. Jenkins
People are always talking about the old days. They say that the old movies were better, that the old actors were so great. But I don't think so. All I can say about the old days is that they have passed. Votes: 1 Kirk Douglas
Being involved in movies is my passion. What's gotten me off the mat is the sense of the child in all of us. I feel like the same guy as I did back in the mail room, but with more wisdom, from the depths of experience to the heights. Votes: 1 Mark Canton
In Chile, they have no movies. They have awful popular movies. Votes: 6 Alejandro Jodorowsky
The power of movies lies in the fact that it enables the viewer to enter the reality, to some extent, of the characters. Votes: 3 Eckhart Tolle

Cinema Paradiso, because it reminds me of why I make movies, the magic of movies, the romance of movies. Votes: 1 Antoine Fuqua

Coming from theater, and having been to acting school, and done little, small Australian independent movies, a lot of the time, it's always about character. Votes: 1 Jacqueline McKenzie

My true social media passion is making creepy short movies on Instagram. Votes: 3 Jenny Lewis
I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format - how it works, the device of the silent movie. It's not the same form of expression as a talkie. The lack of sounds makes you participate in the storytelling. Votes: 2 Michel Hazanavicius
I've always been a bit of a sound freak in the movies I've done. Votes: 1 Stephen Hopkins
Photoshop makes things look beautiful just as you have special effects in movies. It's just a part of life. Votes: 3 Erin Heatherton
I was a huge horror fan, especially in my teenage years. Back then, there were a lot of Italian horror movies - some zombie, some just really strange movies that made no sense. I was really into shock and gore. Votes: 3 Chuck Hogan
Since Star Wars, that film's success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles. Votes: 2 Faye Dunaway

I like all of the mental, psychological thriller movies too. I enjoy horror movies across the board. Votes: 3 Sophia Bush
I think 'North by Northwest' and 'Rope' and Rear Window' and 'Psycho' are on my list of favorite all time movies. I just think his kind of command as a director was almost unparalleled, and I feel like in certain ways the sort of character-based thriller owes more to Hitchcock than anyone. Votes: 3 Carlton Cuse
Well, I took a sabbatical. I walked away from shooting movies because I couldn't handle the travel. I'm a single parent. I had young kids, and I found that keeping in touch with them from hotel rooms and airports wasn't working for me. So I stopped. Votes: 1 Rick Moranis
I think that weird rumor or idea in Hollywood that people don't want to see female-driven movies couldn't be further from the truth. Women buy tickets to movies. Votes: 1 Michelle Monaghan

The classic war movies of the post-Vietnam era have generally taken on grand, philosophical themes: the meaninglessness of war, the grinding down of man by the machine - the machine being war itself, represented by someone like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in 'Full Metal Jacket,' the sadistic marine who turns his boys into instruments of death. Votes: 2 Hanna Rosin
If I can, I love staying in pajamas all day and watching movies and eating good food. Votes: 4 Becky G
If I can, I love staying in pajamas all day and watching movies and eating good food. Votes: 1 Becky G
You watch an old 'Jeopardy!' and the categories alone are very plain. 'Poetry,' or 'Movies,' or 'Physics.' If you watch it now, though, there'll be a theme board where the categories are all Hitchcock movies. Lots more jokes, lots more high-concept categories and questions. Votes: 1 Ken Jennings
I tend to watch a lot of movies at home. It's nice to be close to the refrigerator with my pyjamas on and just relax. Votes: 2 Kathy Reichs
My friend Jim Parrack is in 'Child of God,' and we grew up together. Back then, we would watch old movies and go reenact them at a Blockbuster or a supermarket. We'd end up getting in trouble because you can't reenact movies. People think you're crazy. Votes: 3 Scott Haze
I'm not a big fan of western movies and I really don't like cowboy-indian movies. I have never watched them. Votes: 3 Heath Ledger
That's how you get surprises, because what movies are all about is surprises. Votes: 4 Peter Bart

I have a great job writing for 'The Office,' but, really, all television writers do is dream of one day writing movies. I'll put it this way: At the Oscars the most famous person in the room is, like, Angelina Jolie. At the Emmys the huge exciting celebrity is Bethenny Frankel. You get what I mean. Votes: 3 Mindy Kaling
