"A drama critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned."
George Bernard Shaw
"A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later."
Stanley Kubrick
"A film is never really any good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet."
Orson Welles
"A poet needs a pen, a painter a brush, and a filmmaker an army."
Orson Welles
"After 'The Matrix,' I cannot wear sunglasses. As soon as I put them on, people recognise me."
Carrie-Anne Moss
"Drama is life with the dull bits cut out."
Alfred Hitchcock
"Film lovers are sick people."
Francois Truffaut
"I arrive at the end of this review having done my duty as a critic. I have described the movie accurately and you have a good idea what you are in for if you go to see it. Most of you will not. I cannot argue with you. Some of you will--the brave and the curious. You embody the spirit of the man who first wondered what it would taste like to eat an oyster."
Roger Ebert
"I believe we are born with our minds open to wonderful experiences, and only slowly learn to limit ourselves to narrow tastes. We are taught to lose our curiosity by the bludgeon-blows of mass marketing, which brainwash us to see 'hits,' and discourage exploration."
Roger Ebert
"I wrote a novel this year called
Shop Girl
, and several producers came to me and wanted to turn it into a movie. And I said, "If you think you're going to take this book and change it around, and Hollywoodize it and change the ending...that's going to cost you."
Steve Martin
"It made me sick to watch those businessmen applaud Welles during the 1975 AFI tribute, when you know that the next day if he asked any one of them for money, they'd say, 'We'll let you know.'""
John Cassavettes
"I'm not sure how much movies should entertain. I've always been more interested in movies that scar."
David Fincher
"Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it."
Quentin Tarantino
"No good film is too long and no bad film is short enough."
Roger Ebert
"No matter what they're charging to get in, it's worth more to get out."
Roger Ebert
"On my way here I passed a local cinema and it turned out you were expecting me after all, for the billboards read: The Mummy Returns."
Margaret Thatcher
"Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings."
Ed Gardner
"Playwriting gets into your blood and you can't stop it. At least, not until the producers or the public tell you to."
T.S. Eliot
"So where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?"
Christina Aguilera
"Somone lying back getting a wank absolutely should be something we see in cinema."
Ewan McGregor
