Clothes are like a good meal, a good movie, great pieces of music.
No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.
If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.
Any good movie is filled with secrets.
One thing we haven't mentioned is something everyone should understand very clearly. Look at the budget that was invested in 'Avatar': who in China has that kind of money to spend on making a movie? So we as Chinese filmmakers should work together to make Chinese movies that can compete as best we can for Chinese audiences, not make lousy movies, but make the best we can for that audience. Concentrate the money, the talent we have on making good movies [for China].
An awful lot of good movies have gone unrecognized, and an awful lot of bad movies have had tremendous recognition. As long as you keep that in mind, you are never really disappointed.
I'm not a Hollywood basher because enough good movies come out of the Hollywood system every year to justify its existence, without any apologies.
I love going to the movies; I love watching good movie actors. They must know something I don't.
You can be good in a good movie, you can be good in a bad movie, you can be bad in a bad movie, but never, ever, be bad in a good movie.
A good movie is three good scenes and no bad scenes.
All my good movies, nobody sees.
There's not a lot of good movies being made.
You don't have to know how to make a movie. If you truly love cinema with all your heart and with enough passion, you can't help but make a good movie.
A lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in good movies.
But most good movies have a gun in them.
When you're first starting out, you want to keep making good movies. When you're young and you're black, you do a bad movie and you're through.
There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.
If you want to buy a good movie, you'll buy a good movie. If you don't want to buy a good movie, you'll buy a 'Twilight' movie.
A movie is better than real life because in the movies only the bad guys die. Or you can pick the good movies where the bad guys die and only those. If you get tricked and a good person dies in the movie then you can rewrite it in your head so the good person lives and the part about death is superfluous.
In my mind, there isn't as much of a distinction between documentary and fiction as there is between a good movie and a bad one.
Grips and electricians have done more to help me shoot good movies than any other craft.
I hope that film is going to stay as an artform and that people won't forget that there are good movies also to be made.
I watched Someone to Watch Over Me the other night. I thought it was a really good movie. It's a great movie.
I'm not a method guy. I can't be bothered to have a method. I just want to be a part of a good movie and I can't stand to be surrounded by morons.
Animation, for me, is a wonderful art form. I never understood why the studios wanted to stop making animation. Maybe they felt that the audiences around the world only wanted to watch computer animation. I didn't understand that, because I don't think ever in the history of cinema did the medium of a film make that film entertaining or not. What I've always felt is, what audiences like to watch are really good movies.
