I think it's a very strange question that I have to defend myself. I don't feel that. You are all my guests, it's not the other way around, that's how I feel. ~ Lars Von Trier
Film Directing quotes by Lars Von Trier
Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms. ~ Alfred Hitchcock
Film Directing quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
The dynamics of film directing and fashion design - in the ways that I've done it - were not dissimilar. ~ Tom Ford
Film Directing quotes by Tom Ford
Film directing has perfected my theater directing. I think when I first started directing, a lot of my stuff was very lateral; I was afraid to have the actors' backs turned away, afraid to put them too far upstage, and I think once I did more things with film, I got more interested in composition. ~ Adam Rapp
Film Directing quotes by Adam Rapp
I watch 'Goodfellas,' and suddenly it frees me up entirely; it reminds me of what great film directing is all about. ~ Peter Jackson
Film Directing quotes by Peter Jackson
No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul. ~ Ingmar Bergman
Film Directing quotes by Ingmar Bergman
A team effort is a lot of people doing what I say ~ Michael Winner
Film Directing quotes by Michael Winner
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
Film Directing quotes by Mallory O'Meara
I was a film-directing major at NYU. I'm still not sure why I became a directing major, when I was really an actor and a comedian, but there was something that drew me to doing that. ~ Billy Crystal
Film Directing quotes by Billy Crystal
Drumming is like film directing. You build a framework for everyone to create something together. ~ James Genn
Film Directing quotes by James Genn
I teach film directing, inasmuch as you can. It's not really possible to teach film direction, but I sit there as a sort of testimony of experience and know-how, I suppose. ~ Stephen Frears
Film Directing quotes by Stephen Frears
I'm a Mac user. I think it depends on how you were brought up, and I was introduced to Apple quite early. They're certainly the best for visual stuff and film-directing. ~ Andy Serkis
Film Directing quotes by Andy Serkis
Acting is one element in a film. Directing is sort of the painter using all of those elements - sound and music and camera and putting it all together. And that can be fun and exciting. If you fail, it's incredibly upsetting - much more upsetting than when you're an actor. But when you succeed it's incredibly, incredibly exciting, so I like the risk of it all. ~ George Clooney
Film Directing quotes by George Clooney
There are a number of parallels between the slums of Brazil and those found in my hometown, Karachi. The dichotomy that exists in Brazil is uncannily similar to that found in Pakistan, and I hope to one day make a film that follows similar themes. ~ Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
Film Directing quotes by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
Music is half the film. ~ Matthew Vaughn
Film Directing quotes by Matthew Vaughn
You make a film for a million dollars and then it costs $10 million to sell it. That's the problem at the moment with independent filmmaking: You can make it cheap and then there's no money to market it. ~ Vilmos Zsigmond
Film Directing quotes by Vilmos Zsigmond
Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people's hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted. ~ Willem Dafoe
Film Directing quotes by Willem Dafoe
The Oscars are a lot different when you are a nominee. You walk around with this big smile on your face, and everyone, even people who work for rival film companies, tells you they voted for you. ~ Samuel Goldwyn
Film Directing quotes by Samuel Goldwyn
I think it's always a challenge to adapt something from one medium to another - a novel into a film or a play into a movie or whatever. ~ Julian Fellowes
Film Directing quotes by Julian Fellowes
Deeply moved, she poured the tea while they were finishing up. They came into the kitchen to replace the cleaning things, and she handed two cups to Om.
Noticing the red rose borders, he started to point out her error, "The pink one's for us," then stopped. Her face told him she was aware of it.
"What?" she asked, taking the pink cup for herself, "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing," his voice caught . He turned away, hoping she did not see the film of water glaze his eyes. ~ Rohinton Mistry
Film Directing quotes by Rohinton Mistry
If people enjoy the film, it can be really intriguing to see what created that film, how each one of those unique components came together, who the people are who did it and what it meant to them to do it. ~ Patrick Lussier
Film Directing quotes by Patrick Lussier
I guess if there's one thing I can say about the 21st century, it's that the 21st century is all flash and no substance… everything is digital, nothing but files of invisible electronic data on computers and mindless zombies on their cellular phones… it's sad how because of the digital age, society is ultimately doomed. Nothing in the digital age is real anymore, and you know, they say celluloid film and ray tube televisions and maybe even paper might become obsolete in this century? …What's most annoying is that nobody cares, they've just learned to accept the digital age and get addicted to it… none of them are ever going to step up and say to the world, "you're all a bunch of sheep!" and even if they did say anything, I doubt anyone would listen… they're all too obsessed and attached to their cellular phones and overly big televisions and whatever other moronic things they've got these days… it almost makes me want an apocalypse to happen, to erase digital technology and force the world to start over again. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Film Directing quotes by Rebecca McNutt
These types of films that are psychologically sort of dark at times, I find extremely exciting to do because there's always something to think about. There's nothing more boring than to show up on set and say a line and know that your character means exactly what they say. It's interesting to have an unreliable narrator in a film and that's what both of those films have been. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio
Film Directing quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
My approach to 'Eastenders' is the same as my approach to film and the same approach to theatre. Whatever I do, I use the same skills and tools. ~ Steve McFadden
Film Directing quotes by Steve McFadden
I didn't set out to be a villain in film. I'm a character actor, and if my first movie was a comedy, I could have played a geek just as well. ~ William Zabka
Film Directing quotes by William Zabka
I don't direct so that I can have an identity and so I can go on to CGI movies. I had a big identity as an actor, and that's not what I'm looking for from directing. Directing is a whole different goal. ~ Jodie Foster
Film Directing quotes by Jodie Foster
I have only recently got interested in film, and it is a strange way of working in many ways. But actually, when it is at its best, it's quite an extraordinary way of working between a director and an actor, to really explore an inner life. ~ Dan Stevens
Film Directing quotes by Dan Stevens
I don't want to play second leads or third leads in a film. I started working at 17. I still have a long way to go. ~ Jiah Khan
Film Directing quotes by Jiah Khan
Our society on a whole is trained to see young women. There are proportionally far more of them on magazine covers, on TV, and in films than int the actual population. As a result, we have a citizenry taught to see the young and ignore the not-so-young. It isn't conscious; it's Pavlovian. (13) ~ Victoria Moran
Film Directing quotes by Victoria Moran
When I came to New York in 1949, there was already an entire fresh avant-garde film movement blooming in New York and California. It was a very, very exciting period! ~ Jonas Mekas
Film Directing quotes by Jonas Mekas
Eventually she tires of directing her speech outwards and closes her mouth in apparent resignation. A new silence comes to overlay the silence that is already there. ~ Haruki Murakami
Film Directing quotes by Haruki Murakami
I think I got really lucky with Slacker. That was a film that probably shouldn't have been seen. ~ Richard Linklater
Film Directing quotes by Richard Linklater
I do not want these women-centric films, or ... what's that term? ... mahila-pradhan films as everyone calls them. ~ Kajol
Film Directing quotes by Kajol
Effort is between you, and you, and nobody else. So that team that thinks it's ready to see you, they think what they've seen on film, they ain't saw what film shows, because every day is a new day. Every moment is a new moment. So now you've got to go out and show them that I'm a different creature now, than I was five minutes ago, cause I'm pissed off for greatness. Cause if you ain't pissed off for greatness, that just means you're okay with being mediocre, and ain't no man in here okay with just basic. ~ Ray Lewis
Film Directing quotes by Ray Lewis
The idea of an animated film is you always kind of get a little bit daunted by it as a filmmaker because it feels like a lot of your communication is going to be with computer artists, and you're going to have to kind of channel the movie through extra pairs of hands. ~ Peter Jackson
Film Directing quotes by Peter Jackson
Love is alive when there's music in your heart. ~ A.D. Posey
Film Directing quotes by A.D. Posey
Ever director has at least 10 bad films in them. ~ Robert Rodriguez
Film Directing quotes by Robert Rodriguez
Trust your gut but teach it first. Your gut is directing you based on what it knows, so be sure it's well informed about what matters. Experts who swear they make gut decisions often have years of training, and ~ Kate White
Film Directing quotes by Kate White
Connection is what one is after in probably most media, but certainly in film, which is an immersive medium. ~ Carter Burwell
Film Directing quotes by Carter Burwell
One day, I want to make a PG film. ~ Jackie Chan
Film Directing quotes by Jackie Chan
I suppose that if I could have quit, I would have, because in those days I never wanted to be an actress, the acting was something to do while I waited for a chance to study writing and directing. But I guess I was just meant to be an actress. Because, here I am. ~ Judy Holliday
Film Directing quotes by Judy Holliday
CUSTOMER: (holding up a paperback) If I buy this book, can I transfer it onto my friend's Kindle?

BOOKSELLER: ... No.

CUSTOMER: Oh. How do they put physical books on a Kindle, then? Is it like that part in the film of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where Mike Teavee wants to become part of television, and he flies over everyone's heads in tiny little pieces? ~ Jen Campbell
Film Directing quotes by Jen Campbell
I'm a tomboy at the end of the day, so anything that causes me to have to run around, fight people, roll in the dirt, hop a fence - I'm all for it. So I really would love to do an action film. ~ Emayatzy Corinealdi
Film Directing quotes by Emayatzy Corinealdi
Ford didn't know what to do with Mister Roberts that wasn't repeating what was successful in New York. He was trying to do things to the play that would be his in the film. ~ Henry Fonda
Film Directing quotes by Henry Fonda
When you know you made a film that people are going to watch, that's just really awesome; you know you did it for something, you know you shot a film for people to watch it. ~ Kuno Becker
Film Directing quotes by Kuno Becker
You think this man is the enemy? Huh? This is a worker! Any union keeps this man out ain't a union, it's a goddam club! They got you fightin' white against colored, native against foreign, hollow against hollow, when you know there ain't but two sides in this world - them that work and them that don't. You work, they don't. That's all you need to know about the enemy. ~ - Joe Kenehan, Matewan (John Sayles, 1987)
Film Directing quotes by - Joe Kenehan, Matewan (John Sayles, 1987)
I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, I'm not going to make a Haneke film. That's just not in my DNA. ~ Jason Reitman
Film Directing quotes by Jason Reitman
