Movie Industry Quotes:
There’s a bizarre prejudice that exists in the New York publishing establishment that any work outside the tri-state area is being done by trained chimpanzees, that geography screens out sensibility. There’s an idea that all Los Angeles writing is about the movie industry, that it’s vulgar, shallow and banal.
Kate Braverman
Women one hundred percent support each other in the movie industry.
Isla Fisher
I was living in a terrible time when people were being accused of being communists, and they attacked the movie industry, especially the writers. People couldn’t work if they were on the blacklist. The studios banned them. It was the most onerous period in movie history. I don’t think we have ever had a period so dark as that.
Kirk Douglas
My mom always told me I could do or be anything I dared to dream, and I always wanted to work in the movie industry.
Octavia Spencer
I’ve seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry.
Jackie Chan
I did something that no brown-skinned man in the movie industry ever did. I made a brown-skinned man look very romantic – a matinee idol. If you think about it, what I introduced is historical because it had never happened before, and it hasn’t happened since – not on that level.
Billy Dee Williams
I think everyone respects Rock. He’s obviously been in our industry his entire life in some form or fashion. He’s a guy that works really hard, and most of our performers can appreciate that one way or another, whether it’s in the movie industry or our industry.
Seth Rollins
The fact is that HBO is doing the kind of films and the kind of stories that the movie industry used to do. You look at a lot of the specialty sections of studios that have gone under… and there’s no doubt in my mind why filmmakers and screenwriters and actors are ending up at a place like HBO. They do it better than anybody.
Kevin Spacey
I hope that the movie industry will learn from the experiences of the music industry and will be much more constructive in their approach to P2P.
Sam Yagan
Even though I grew up in L.A., no one in my family was in the movie industry. I’ve always felt whatever the opposite of disillusioned is. I guess illusioned with movies and with people in movies and things like that. It’s all exciting to me.
Alden Ehrenreich
Bernard Herrmann used to write all his scores by himself. So did Bach, Beethoven and Stravinsky. I don’t understand why this happens in the movie industry.
Ennio Morricone
The movie industry is very competitive, and if you’re like me and you suffer from your own insecurities about whether or not you’re any good, that can be troubling.
Guy Pearce
The conventional Indian movie industry is not for me: I cannot dance around trees or the water-fountain.
Sarita Choudhury
I wrote my first screenplay on a lark, because it was a storytelling format that felt like a familiar shorthand – we all watch movies, don’t we? But even though I grew up in Los Angeles, my family was entirely unconnected with the movie industry, and I never truly believed that it would one day be my fate.
Lisa Lutz
And the VCR did the same thing: the movie industry thought nobody would ever watch movies any more.
Niklas Zennstrom
I don’t think that the movie industry is any more ready than any other part of the information industries to adapt itself to the information age. But it’s going to go there one way or the other.
John Perry Barlow
There’s been a bit of confusion about Showscan. The basic problem was, it was film and it was 70 mm and it was a lot of it, so the negative cost was very high, the print costs were very high, and it also required conversion of the projectors and theaters and a lot of costs. I just couldn’t get any traction in the theatrical movie industry to do it.
