Raul Garcia

Quotes About Film #1840804

Anna Kendrick

Quotes About Film #1837332
#47. I regret the way that America has elected to make films for its bluntest section of society and in ways that flatter them, and we have to recognize how much that is being done for money. We have to find another way of measuring ourselves. And film is one of the few ways that might be done.

Mathieu Demy

Quotes About Film #1833847

Nicholas Sparks

Quotes About Film #1832881
#74. What's frustrating to me is when, on a low-budget movie, people don't take chances. A big-budget movie, that script's your bible; nobody's going to risk going off the page. But when you're doing a very low-budget film, why not take some chances, intellectually, artistically?

Lance Henriksen

Quotes About Film #1832679

Darren Criss

Quotes About Film #1816377
#89. One can do a film and not work for six months, but on TV, you have to produce good content every week. It involves a lot of hard work, as one has to fight for ratings every week. But I have always got love from the audiences, be it during 'The Great Laughter Challenge' or 'Comedy Circus.'

Drew Barrymore

Quotes About Film #1817519
