Anybody who knows how to make a good movie, knows that it's a collaborative undertaking. To deny that its really dangerous.
Often I think the novels I read won't make very good movies - I better not say which I'm looking at for potential films! - but it's nice to have an excuse to just sit and read for a whole day.
It's tough to make a good movie. I think the bigger the movies are, the worse they are. A lot of big movies make a lot of money and you kind of forget about what they are and they don't really make you think.
I just want to make good movies. Honestly, the only difference for me with this stuff is that there is more people on the set.
I want to be in a good movie, and so the narrative is way more important.
I can go back to my very first movie, Thirteen, and think about that exact moment when I saw Nikki Reed and Evan Rachel Wood do their chemistry read audition together. It just came alive. I was filming it with a video camera and I was like, "I know I can make a good movie now."
I firmly believe that you can't get a good movie without risking a bad movie.
It's all kind of just all of us coming together and all lending a hand on what we think will make it a good movie.
The good movies that people want to keep are probably creating their value more than anything else.
'The Dark Knight' is a really good movie that reached both critics and mainstream audiences.
I don't hold with the notion that only bad books make good movies.
Liam really enjoyed a good movie. He found it restful to watch people's conversations without being expected to join in. But he always felt sort of lonesome if he didn't have someone next to him to nudge in the ribs at the good parts.
I watched 'My Girl' as an adult pretty recently, and it's a good movie.
Richard Donner made great movies. Seminal movies. The Academy, though, and we have to be careful here, should recognize popular films. Popular films are what make it all work. There was a time when popular movies were commercial movies, and they were good movies, and they had to be good movies. There was no segregation between good independent films and popular movies.
I've never wanted to be the hottest star. I always wanted to do good movies.
This is how good movies get made and always have: from the gut instinct of the financiers, not just by committee and research.
The better a novel is, in literary terms, the more you can't be faithful. The novel succeeds on terms exclusive to literature. A good film succeeds on terms exclusive to the cinema. That's why so many bad novels can become good movies.
I'm just looking to make good movies and looking to be as good as I can be in them and that's about it. But I feel much more comfortable doing a comedy, but the fact that I got to try a few dramas, I feel I've tested myself a little bit.
