"One of my fantasies in my life has been that I was granted access with a camera to go back in time, and to film the actual campaign of Alexander crossing into India through Iran and Persia"
Oliver Stone, Director
"Movies give me an opportunity to go places. I'm not only a Swede but an American, not just a man of my time, but I've been living 2,000 years ago-and not just in a new country, America, but in the Holy Land, too"
Max von Sydow, Actor
"The attempt is that we want to get a couple of minutes under our belt, depending on how good the tests are, and take that into Hollywood. The fallback is we're going to DVD anyways. We've got that covered"
Todd McFarlane, Artist
"I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest. All the Bond films had their good points"
Sean Connery, Actor
"Spielberg knows his craft so well, he can also improvise, and that is a lot of fun"
Max von Sydow, Actor
"The idea of working with Steven Spielberg was very attractive. He's such a master. He knows the language of the camera and of filmmaking, which gives him a great freedom"
Max von Sydow, Actor
"Playing the role of Christ was like being in a prison. It was the hardest part I've ever had to play in my life. I couldn't smoke or drink in public. I couldn't"
Max von Sydow, Actor
"In a theater, the part is mine and I can control it as I want to. In the movies, I don't have direct contact, and I am fighting technical machinery"
Max von Sydow, Actor
"I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be"
Frances McDormand, Actress
"Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences"
Frances McDormand, Actress
"I don't think of myself as a movie star, and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star"
Frances McDormand, Actress
"I love to act. I need to act. It's the big itch I need to scratch"
Christopher Meloni, Actor
"When I portray Stabler, I have to shave every day and cut my hair every week! And then, I really like to change my looks for films like 'Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle', where I have the pleasure of playing the ugliest man in the world"
Christopher Meloni, Actor
"I didn't get into acting to be a public service announcer or an advocate and yet, by virtue of this show and how we handle the subject matter that we've been given, that's kind of how it's evolved in certain ways"
Christopher Meloni, Actor
"People don't know where to place me. Terry Gilliam used me as a quirky cop in 'Twelve Monkeys', and then he hired me again to be an effeminate hotel clerk in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Another time, I was shooting this indie film 'The Souler Opposite' and six days a week, I'm playing this big puppy dog, then I come to the 'NYPD Blue' set and become this scumbag"
Christopher Meloni, Actor
"Somewhere in talking and rehearsing, there is a magical moment where actors catch a current, they're on the right road. If they really catch it, then whatever they do from then on is correct and it all comes out of them from that point on"
David Lynch, Director
"Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way"
David Lynch, Director
"I didn't watch much TV as a kid and I don' t watch it now. I don' t find anything beautiful or unique to the medium, and the only thing you can do on TV that you can't do in film is make a continuing story - which is so cool!"
David Lynch, Director
"We were using Brooke as an actress; she was playing different roles: a liberated woman, a teenager, a vamp"
Calvin Klein, Designer
"I'm more offended when someone's killed on television than when there's something that's sensuous or sexual. So what?"
Calvin Klein, Designer
"It seems astounding to me now that the video games are perhaps as important as the movie themselves. And people will spend 2 or 3 years obsessing about the video game in exactly the same way that they'd be obsessing about the movie if they were working on that"
John Cleese, Actor
"I can't tell you how scary it can be walking onto a movie and suddenly joining this family, it's like going to somebody else's Christmas dinner, everyone knows everyone, and you're there and you're not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing"
John Cleese, Actor
"There's a lot about the character. It doesn't always happen, but there are some characters you really create a relationship with, almost as if they were your friend. And you never get into their heads again or think like them"
Salma Hayek, Actress
"Producing is hell, writing is frustrating, acting is really satisfying, directing is heaven"
Salma Hayek, Actress
"I love going to the movies; I love watching good movie actors. They must know something I don't"
Uta Hagen, Actress
"I want to direct, write, produce... y'know, I love the entertainment industry"
Jason Marsden, Actor
"I haven't really had that many opportunities to play 'lead' so I guess I jumped at the chance. I have also never done any 'sci-fi' projects and thought it might be fun"
Julie Bowen, Actress
"I guess I'm not that aware of such a big fan base. I have a few core people who write me no matter what I'm doing, but I hardly have sacks of mail being dropped on my door!"
Julie Bowen, Actress
"What is attempted in these film is, of course, a synthesis. But it can be seen by someone who has his feet in both cultures. Someone who will bring to bear on the films' involvement and detachment in equal measure"
Satyajit Ray, Director
"Sometimes a director is making three films. Perhaps he is shooting a film in Madras and a film in Bombay and he can't leave Madras as some shooting has to be done, so he directs by telephone. The shooting takes place. On schedule"
Satyajit Ray, Director
"Particularly in the final stages, I always find that I'm rushed. It's dangerous when you're rushed in the editing stage. Most of my early films are flawed in the cutting"
Satyajit Ray, Director
"I enjoy doing press for something that I like, and I think the movie is very fun and charming and clever"
Thomas Haden Church, Actor
"Cary and I are working together on another movie, Charlotte's Web"
Thomas Haden Church, Actor
"You can have a movie with hardly any cuts, or very few cuts, that is fascinating, you can't take your eyes away from it... Look at some of the long takes in Citizen Kane"
Roger Ebert, Critic
"The Academy is paranoid about its image"
Roger Ebert, Critic
"In 1969, at the age of 19, I was lucky enough to work with George C. Scott in the definitive portrayal of his career over a period of many months and several countries on the definitive film version of Patton's WWII career"
Edward Albert, Actor
"We don't have a lot of class-conscious filmmaking"
Roger Ebert, Critic
"As we watch TV or films, there are no organic transitions, only edits. The idea of A becoming B, rather than A jumping to B, has become foreign"
Esa-Pekka Salonen, Musician
"The word actress has always seemed less a job description to me than a title"
