Television is chewing gum for the eyes.
Frank Lloyd Wright
If my films make one more person miserable, I'll feel I have done my job.
Woody Allen
An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.
Marilyn Monroe
If the boy and girl walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand in the last scene, it adds 10 million to the box office.
George Lucas
I am a cynical optimist. Big opening weekends are like cotton candy. The films you will remember over time are the films that stick in the consciousness of the audience in a good way.
Robert Redford
When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.
Tim Burton
If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.
Woody Allen
The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.
Will Rogers
Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard.
George Lucas
I have a love interest in every one of my films: a gun.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Life is more than sunglasses and hit movies. Reality - that's the main event.
Sylvester Stallone
The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.
Bette Davis
Christmas for me is all about spending time with my family. I cherish any chance we have to spend all day together making gingerbread houses, baking cookies, or sitting around and watching movies.
Blake Lively
Sometimes music, movies and books are the only things that let us feel like someone else feels like we do.
Marilyn Manson
There might have been a period around 'Tango & Cash' when I was nearly fashionable. My problem is that my weight's always been changing for the movies I'm in.
Sylvester Stallone
I am a giant proponent of giant screens. But I accept the fact that most of my movies are going to be seen on phones.
George Lucas
On a television show, you basically make a movie a week. Movies take three months - it's crazy. They're so slow, it's like vacation to me.
Eva Longoria
When I was growing up, I was the most pretentious person I have ever met. I only read obscure books and watched obscure movies and only listened to obscure music.
Moby
I loved cowboy movies when I was a kid. When I was five years old, I was already wearing a cowboy hat and suit. When I grew up, I knew John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Kirk Douglas and so on.
Jackie Chan
For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies.
Jackie Chan
Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
Charlie Chaplin
Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.
Steven Spielberg
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
Sylvester Stallone
Some of my favorite movies are action movies. You want something good to say. That comes from good writing. But writing is not a skill I possess, unfortunately.
Jason Statham
I love doing normal things - movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths - that's a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.
Christina Aguilera
My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
Dolly Parton
One of the nice things about licensing music to movies or advertisements is you can reach a lot of people who normally wouldn't hear music.
Moby
