Personally, I don't think the film and television industries are run as well as they used to be. Oh sure, we've got great digital effects now but... where are the visionaries?
I'd love to meet Julian [Assange], and time permitting, and his will permitting, I'm sure it will happen at some point. Even though he's been very critical of the film [The Fifth Estate], he's been very polite about me and my work, and I feel the same way about him.
There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.
Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.
I know actors come around and they always talk like that, but I don't do publicity if I don't like the film.
I love films-they are like paintings.
Film and television are just different. Film is cool because its a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like. But with television you get a new script every week, so its constantly a mystery as to what youre going to be doing.
A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.
It was important to me to make a film where I don't show the past but where the spectators can see the past.
You have to see a building to comprehend it. Photographs cannot convey the experience, nor film.
Today, most newcomers from film families are launched in outside films.
Film is like a drug. It is a shelter when you cannot deal with reality.
Raju Hirani films are filled with simplicity and goodness. I really love such films.
'Aiyyaa' is a very quirky film.
Once you start to realize that a film is the sum of its editing, then editing is the thing you're always looking at.
I just got on Twitter because there was some MTV film blog that quoted me on something really innocuous that I supposedly said on Twitter before I was even on Twitter. So then I had to get on Twitter to say: 'This is me. I'm on Twitter. If there's somebody else saying that they're me on Twitter, they're not.'
I have lot of respect of filmmakers who work in Telugu and Tamil.
Films that I want to do are few and far between.
I personally feel like, if you're watching a film about war, you should get a sense of what it's really like.
I'd already started directing short films when we were doing 'Lord of the Rings,' then videogame projects.
However, that old mode of Polish filmmaking virtually disappeared.
I probably never would have been hired on Broadway had I not moved out to LA and pursued acting and film, which is sad really.
It's rare to have even half-meaningful conversations in the film industry.
I love my horror films and they will always be very close to me.
I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.
