There's so much standing around and waiting with moviemaking!
Alexandra Bracken
But, you always have to listen to everyone, because I'm not always right and other people have great ideas, too. I think that makes great moviemaking.
Baran bo Odar
The thing that I love about moviemaking is how many people it takes to make it.
Brie Larson
I think it's always good for the author to stay a good cattle prod's distance from the actual moviemaking.
Carl Hiaasen
In Hollywood, moviemaking used to be about escaping reality to go to the movies.
Chris Kattan
It goes back to a style of moviemaking I remember seeing as a child, in movies like The Man With The Golden Arm, which I think was shot all on a sound stage.
Debbie Allen
When I cast someone in a movie, I have to absolutely trust who they are as a human being. Trust is the intangible of moviemaking.
Derek Cianfrance
Amazon may be the only studio that's run by people who come out of making independent movies, real hands-on moviemaking.
Doug Liman
I think American cinema, particularly, has become so disposable. It's not even cinema, It's just moviemaking.
Eriq La Salle
Moviemaking is just really neat, and I really like doing that. I'd like to get into it more, but in terms of my role in all of this and in terms of the gift that God has given me, I had to come to the conclusion that my strength is as a storyteller, creating the story.
Frank Peretti
It's like trying to be a traffic cop and write a poem at the same time. You need an executive head to handle all the vast paraphernalia of moviemaking. You need another, more sensitive head to get the delicate human emotional values you are trying to put on film.
George Stevens
My grandpa told me, 'Learn to love anxiety, because it never goes away in moviemaking.'
Gia Coppola
If I were a young man today, I might be lured into the moviemaking industry. You can really make a statement there.
James A. Michener
If you go to business school, and you put a product out there in the world, and it's working, the logic is to keep putting the same product out there. And I think that really bumps up against the creative process - and moviemaking, generally. And I think that our company really pushes against that.
Jason Blum
I grew up on movie sets, I'm comfortable on sets. A movie set is like a circus. I don't understand why moviemaking has to be such an insane environment.
Jason Reitman
I have an issue with the commercial aspect of moviemaking: I don't see why a movie can't make a lot of money and also be good.
Joel Edgerton
I've been writing plays since the seventies and only came to moviemaking when I basically realized that I needed some money to pay the rent. I started to watch films with an eye to figuring out how to write them.
John Patrick Shanley
You have to live in order to have something to write about - you get caught up in moviemaking and celebrities and money, and it's very intoxicating, but it doesn't give you what you need as a writer. You have to do something else for that.
With moviemaking, the audience always has to keep asking, 'What happens next?' If you have the wrong piece of music over a scene, people aren't going to get the scene. If you have the wrong camera angle, people aren't going to pay attention. That's as much a part of the process as getting people to talk to you.
Josh Fox
On the whole, the politics of moviemaking is something that actors are kind of blissfully ignorant of.
Kate Winslet
The accomplishment that I am most proud of is that 'Free Willy' and 'Dave' got a political message out, which isn't easy to do within the constraints of studio moviemaking.
I grew up loving watching movies, and at a certain point, I started to become fascinated with making movies. Then I went to film school, and I got to dabble with different aspects of moviemaking, and I ended up settling heavily into editing - editing was what I was really adept at, had a passion for.
Hollywood executives believe that money is both the be-all and end-all to the moviemaking process.
You work in a band, and it tends to be more like moviemaking, I think. It tends to be more of a conscious, verbalized and, to some degree, political process.
Moviemaking is a dirty, tiring affair. The joy comes from the possibility to be free on set and really let loose.
Before I discovered moviemaking, I hadn't found anything where I could kind of galvanize or meld all of the things that I wanted to do.
Usually a lot of moviemaking is boring.
If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.
Technically, maybe I learned most of all from George Stevens, and among his movies I learned the most from 'A Place in the Sun.' It's a lesson in moviemaking.
Moviemaking is about telling a story. And you need to know what story you are going to tell.
A lot of people who watch DVDs are people who are interested in, if not moviemaking, then creativity in general.
I think there's escapist moviemaking, and we want to be captivated and taken away. If it's done right, you can craft an incredible film. There have been superhero films that I think are brilliant pieces of art.
Moviemaking is a time machine: narrative spliced into fragments and reassembled into a constant present, the end of a story shot before the beginning, which is shot after the middle.
I can see how a person could get addicted to the adrenaline of moviemaking.
I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh, volatile business, and unless you can be ruthless, too, there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.
As a younger actor, I had delusions. I would dream of Scorsese and De Niro; I would meet people, and it would be like this, and it would change moviemaking in France, and Paris would become the center of the world.
It's difficult to find a movie that feels true to itself. You feel the hand of Hollywood, the moviemaking by committee, on everything.
