I love the fact that a lot of my audience is people from the inner city. African-Americans love my films. ~ Wes Craven
American Film quotes by Wes Craven
Crash is hyper-articulate and often breathtakingly intelligent and always brazenly alive. I think it's easily the strongest American film since Clint Eastwood's Mystic River, though it is not for the fainthearted. ~ David Denby
American Film quotes by David Denby
The fact is that you could not be, and still cannot be, a 25-year-old homosexual trying to make it in the British film business or the American film business or even the Italian film business. It just doesn't work and you're going to hit a brick wall at some point. ~ Rupert Everett
American Film quotes by Rupert Everett
That comes from most people having an American film model in their heads which is nothing but a total illusionary masturbatory massage. ~ Peter Greenaway
American Film quotes by Peter Greenaway
'Night Watch' itself is a very Russian movie. It's impossible to imagine this kind of movie somewhere else: a movie with a depressing ending, a lot of inexplicable storylines, strange characters. It's a Russian reflection of American film culture. ~ Timur Bekmambetov
American Film quotes by Timur Bekmambetov
European films were what it was about for me - the sensations I needed, the depth, the storytelling, the characters, the directors, and the freedom that you can't really find in American films. ~ Charlotte Rampling
American Film quotes by Charlotte Rampling
Only very rarely are foreigners or first-generation immigrants allowed to be nice people in American films. Those with an accent are bad guys. ~ Max Von Sydow
American Film quotes by Max Von Sydow
Well, if you're talking about the current climate, there's a lack of content in American film because I think people are deeply confused about their emotions, and they don't regret certain aspects of their own foreign policy. ~ Neil Jordan
American Film quotes by Neil Jordan
When I say that I am going to do an American film, I didn't want to suddenly go off into a completely different world that which bears no relation to the style of filmmaking that I'm used to. ~ Park Chan-wook
American Film quotes by Park Chan-wook
'The Road' was my first American film, my first film in the snow. The first of everything. So, I was jumping into it, and that was pretty grueling. ~ Kodi Smit-McPhee
American Film quotes by Kodi Smit-McPhee
Um, 'Soul Food' ... Another wonderful little movie that could. Here's a film that, I think our budget was maybe $6 million. We shot it in Chicago in six weeks. I was so proud of the film, because it showed America that an African-American film about family could sell, could do well, could cross over and have true meaning. ~ Vivica A. Fox
American Film quotes by Vivica A. Fox
For the most part, the American film market has become very corporatised, even independent film to a degree, and because of the corporate management mentality, they want to take the safe way. ~ Anthony LaPaglia
American Film quotes by Anthony LaPaglia
The crime film is the most honest American film. ~ Andrew Dominik
American Film quotes by Andrew Dominik
When I'm making an American film, it's more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, 'What are you doing!? Tell me first!' There are so many restrictions. ~ Jackie Chan
American Film quotes by Jackie Chan
One hundred percent of the top American films of 1954, the year Creature from the Black Lagoon was released, were directed by men. Ninety-six percent of the top American films for 2016, the year I started writing this book, were directed by men. In sixty-two years, we have improved gender equality in American film directing by four percent. At this rate, we'll be colonizing Mars before we see an qual number of female directors. ~ Mallory O'Meara
American Film quotes by Mallory O'Meara
I'm just interested in all of the different ways that a woman can be. We don't have enough, when it comes to American film, that shows all of the different complexities and ways that a woman is interesting and mysterious and dynamic and really complicated. ~ Brie Larson
American Film quotes by Brie Larson
The business is so international now; you'll be working on an American film, and you'll start chatting to someone, and it's like: 'Oh, you're English, too.' ~ Imogen Poots
American Film quotes by Imogen Poots
Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers. ~ Jackie Chan
American Film quotes by Jackie Chan
I wrote and finished the script for 'Man in the Middle' two weeks after the September 11 bombing. It's a very American film about an ex-diplomat based in the Middle East, a leader in the U.S. administration who now sells used cars in the Middle East. ~ Ziad Doueiri
American Film quotes by Ziad Doueiri
I wouldn't mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly don't want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean. ~ Audrey Tautou
American Film quotes by Audrey Tautou
The greatest all-around American film actor is James Stewart. ~ David Denby
American Film quotes by David Denby
The blacks have a song which says, 'I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do.' No American film, relating to blacks, can possibly incorporate this observation. ~ James Baldwin
American Film quotes by James Baldwin
I spent a couple of years doing American films. I did a few. ~ Donnie Yen
American Film quotes by Donnie Yen
The VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman alone. ~ Jack Valenti
American Film quotes by Jack Valenti
Most young people now are very vulnerable as to what the American film aficionados are going to say. They care too much about a system that has no room for them. It's really a serious issue for me, because to me it's, how do I survive beyond a film that was disgraced or praised? ~ Haile Gerima
American Film quotes by Haile Gerima
I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans. ~ Michael Caine
American Film quotes by Michael Caine
I wanted to make Canadian films, and I ended up making American films. ~ Ted Kotcheff
American Film quotes by Ted Kotcheff
I have to write three books a year to make a reasonable living out of writing - unless, of course, she gets a major American film deal. Phryne has been optioned since the very first book, but to make a historical TV movie, it costs $30,000 a day extra for the historical detail to be correct, so most people aren't doing it. ~ Kerry Greenwood
American Film quotes by Kerry Greenwood
I always feel that crime films are about capitalism because it is a genre where it is perfectly acceptable for all the characters to be motivated by the desire for money. In some ways, the crime film is the most honest American film because it portrays Americans as I experience a lot of them, in Hollywood, as being very concerned with money. ~ Andrew Dominik
American Film quotes by Andrew Dominik
Yes, I was hired by Universal because they needed a comedy director. They had seen Scandal and liked it. I saw an opportunity even in those comedies to begin my project of American films. ~ Douglas Sirk
American Film quotes by Douglas Sirk
I still to this day maintain that in that million-and-a-half feet of film [Heaven's Gate] that we shot, we thought we were making a great American film. I honestly believe that Michael [Cimino] was under a tremendous amount of pressure, and Michael's response to pressure from what I saw was to double down and to get more aggressive and to get more kind of arrogant, but I don't think it was real. I think it was the response to pressure. ~ Richard Masur
American Film quotes by Richard Masur
The best thing about series TV is that everyone you work with is hand-picked, as compared to working on a film. ~ Denis Leary
American Film quotes by Denis Leary
We feel an enormous sense of gratitude towards the American people. ~ Jean-Pierre Raffarin
American Film quotes by Jean-Pierre Raffarin
The drys seemingly are afraid of the truth. Why not take inventory and ascertain the true conditions. Let us not leave it to the charge of an antiprohibition organization, or to any other private association, let us have an official survey and let the American people know what is going on. A complete and honest and impartial survey would reveal incredible conditions ... ~ Fiorello H. La Guardia
American Film quotes by Fiorello H. La Guardia
I carry a disposable camera. It takes me back to my childhood, when you had to develop your film and wait to see what pictures you got. ~ Christa B. Allen
American Film quotes by Christa B. Allen
Every film is a puzzle really, from an editorial point of view. ~ Walter Murch
American Film quotes by Walter Murch
Harriet dreamt of someone well dressed and flamboyant, who spoke like the lead in a black and white film, who drank champagne like other people drank Carling and who could talk about history and philosophy and life for hours, without making themselves sound like an idiot. Someone who made romantic gestures, who was generous to everyone and extravagant towards her. Someone, for preference, who rowed and had the muscles to prove it. When she was really having a bad day, someone with a title. Every time a well-meaning access scheme leaflet tried to reassure her and all the other state school applicants that Oxford wasn't wall to wall Old Etonians permanently dressed in tuxedos, she died a little inside. ~ Georgiana Derwent
American Film quotes by Georgiana Derwent
Healing doesn't mean forgetting or making the memories insignificant. Healing means refocusing ~ American Pregnancy Association
American Film quotes by American Pregnancy Association
The film Punch - Drunk Love is how you see the world when you're in love. You don't see somebody's psychological baggage necessarily, you see the person walking out of the light. ~ Emily Watson
American Film quotes by Emily Watson
My co-star would be ... One of my actual best friends. I am blessed to have so many beautiful talented people around me, I would like them all in my film please!!! ~ E.J. Bonilla
American Film quotes by E.J. Bonilla
An American citizen is not going to be extradited to Japan for saving whales. ~ Paul Watson
American Film quotes by Paul Watson
Career is a mindset. The wrong mindset. Career is linear. Especially when you are trapped in the TV or film world. The next thing you do has always got to be bigger, or it is perceived as a failure. ~ Paul Provenza
American Film quotes by Paul Provenza
[Orson Welles] was a man who made the greatest film ever made and was never forgiven for it. ~ Roger Ebert
American Film quotes by Roger Ebert
Baseball, football, basketball - these quintessentially American pastimes are recognizably sports because they involve play: they are games. One plays football, one doesn't play boxing ... The boxing match is the very image, the more terrifying for being so stylized, of mankind's collective aggression; its ongoing historical madness. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
American Film quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
A great director gives life to a work of art- gives it a heartbeat… a pulse… opens its eyes to the world. ~ A.D. Posey
American Film quotes by A.D. Posey
I'll remember this to my grave. We all walked into a room to see the screen tests. The first screen test was Marion Hutton's. Then came Janis Paige [who ended up with a part in the film]. Then on the screen came Doris Day. I can only tell you, the screen just exploded. There was absolutely no question. A great star was born and the rest is history. ~ Sammy Cahn
American Film quotes by Sammy Cahn
I think it's a myth that American public or any other public is so stupid that they need to be constantly pricked. ~ Brian Eno
American Film quotes by Brian Eno
What's that?"
"My friend St. Clair bought it for me. So I wouldn't feel out of place."
She raises her eyebrows as she pulls back onto the road. "Are there a lot of Canadians in Paris?"
My face warms. "I just felt,you know, stupid for a while. Like one of those lame American tourists with the white sneakers and the cameras around their necks? So he bought it for me, so I wouldn't feel....embarrassed. American."
"Being American is nothing to be ashamed of," she snaps.
"God,Mom,I know.I just meant-forget it."
"Is this the English boy with the French father?"
"What does that have anything to do with it?" I'm angry. I don't like what she's implying. "Besides,he's American. He was born here? His mom lives in San Francisco. We sat next to each other on the plane."
We stop at a red light.Mom stares at me. "You like him."
"OH GOD,MOM."
"You do.You like this boy."
"He's just a friend.He has a girlfriend."
"Anna has a boooy-friend," Seany chants.
"I do not!"
"ANNA HAS A BOOOY-FRIEND!"
I take a sip of coffee and choke. It's disgusting. It's sludge. No, it's worse than sludge-at least sludge is organic. Seany is still taunting me. Mom reaches around and grabs his legs,which are kicking her seat again.She sees me making a face at my drink.
"My,my. Once semester in France, and suddenly we're Miss Sophisticated. Your father will be thrilled."
Like it was my choice! Like I asked to go to Paris! And how dare s ~ Stephanie Perkins
American Film quotes by Stephanie Perkins
I made this film 'The Beach,' which didn't take place in a city, and it didn't really suit me. ~ Danny Boyle
American Film quotes by Danny Boyle
I have always done films with friends rather than strangers. ~ Sanjay Dutt
American Film quotes by Sanjay Dutt
American and Vietnamese characters alike leap to life through the voice and eyes of a tenyearold girl-a protagonist so strong, loving, and vivid I longed to hand her a wedge of freshly cut papaya. ~ Mitali Perkins
American Film quotes by Mitali Perkins
There is much that public policy can do to support American entrepreneurs. Health insurance reform will make it easier for entrepreneurs to take a chance on a new business without putting their family's health at risk. Tort reform will make it easier to take prudent risks on new products in a number of sectors. ~ Eric Ries
American Film quotes by Eric Ries
When I went to the University of Iowa in order to be a writer, I thought, This is the worst way to learn how to write. To sit in a room with a bunch of would-be writers, who want to write the Great American Novel, every one of them, and you read their stories and they read yours, and you're not living a life. I don't like that. I like learning on the job. The character of my work has definitely evolved from the character of my life. ~ Joe Frank
American Film quotes by Joe Frank
The American dream was not supposed to look like this, and when men went off the war, too often other men came in the night to the bedroom at the back of the long, narrow trailers. In fact, I had lived there and had gone off to war, and someone took of my place in the bed and took of my young wife. But that was few wars ago, and so much has happened since , that the only lingering bitterness left is that the bastard also took my dog. ~ Nelson DeMille
American Film quotes by Nelson DeMille
Just film what's there, trust what came before, one hour before, and make it easy. ~ Jean-Marc Vallee
American Film quotes by Jean-Marc Vallee
I will always continue to make stupid action films but I think 'V For Vendetta' is a very smart film and I think that people will feel differently about things when they see it. ~ Joel Silver
American Film quotes by Joel Silver
You have something to say to me, Cassidy, say it. Or shut the fuck up."
"All right," Jules said. "I will." He took a deep breath. Exhaled. "Okay, see, I, well, I love you. Very, very much, and . . ." Where to go from here . . .?
Except, his plain-spoken words earned him not just a glance but Max's sudden full and complete attention. Which was a little alarming.
But it was the genuine concern in Max's eyes that truly caught Jules off-guard.
Max actually thought . . . Jules laughed his surprise. "Oh! No, not like that. I meant it, you know, in a totally platonic, non-gay way."
Jules saw comprehension and relief on Max's face. The man was tired if he was letting such basic emotions show.
"Sorry." Max even smiled. "I just . . ." He let out a burst of air. "I mean, talk about making things even more complicated . . ."
It was amazing. Max hadn't recoiled in horror at the idea. His concern had been for Jules, about potentially hurting his tender feelings. And even now, he wasn't trying to turn it all into a bad joke.
And he claimed they weren't friends.
Jules felt his throat tighten. "You can't know," he told his friend quietly, "how much I appreciate your acceptance and respect."
"My father was born in India," Max told him, "in 1930. His mother was white - American. His father was not just Indian, but lower caste. The intolerance he experienced both there and later, even in America, made him a . . . very bitter, very hard, very, ver ~ Suzanne Brockmann
American Film quotes by Suzanne Brockmann
What the Democrats don't seem to understand is that higher taxes mean fewer American jobs and less American production. ~ Lynn Westmoreland
American Film quotes by Lynn Westmoreland
Why, to give another suggestive example, did it take an American journalist sixty-five days to get official permission (including, after a wait of up to five weeks, a Food ~ Niall Ferguson
American Film quotes by Niall Ferguson
...carved marble figures in strata that "suggests the characters were made by intelligent humans from the distant past,"
a section of gold thread found in strata between 320 and 360 million years old,
a report in a nineteenth-century edition of Scientific American recording the discovery of a metallic vase in strata 600 million years old,
a chalk ball in France in strata 45-55 million years old,
a machined coin with undecipherable writing at least 200,000 years old, discovered in Illinois,
a clay figurine discovered in Idaho that is atleast two million years old.
The list of suppressed and conveniently forgotten discoveries goes on and on, ~ Joseph P. Farrell
American Film quotes by Joseph P. Farrell
I love romance. It goes back to the films I watched as a kid. ~ Ewan McGregor
American Film quotes by Ewan McGregor
Reagan's easy slippage between movies and reality is synechdochic for a political culture increasingly impervious to distinctions between fiction and history. ~ Michael Rogin
American Film quotes by Michael Rogin
Looking down, she became aware of the water, which was covered with a film of calcinous hard-water particles of dirt and soap, and of the body that was sitting in it, somehow no longer quite her own. All at once she was afraid that she was dissolving, coming apart layer by layer like a piece of cardboard in a gutter puddle. ~ Margaret Atwood
American Film quotes by Margaret Atwood
