I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that. Sarah Polley
When I make an American movie it's going to come out all over the world-it doesn't happen the same way for an Italian film or a French film.
Monica Bellucci
Knowing what I do now, I don't know if I'd ever have the balls to go to film school, with no connections and no knowledge of the business side at all. Michael Patrick Jann
I'm not saying that there weren't other inherent problems with the score that couldn't have been overcome with a bit of remixing, but why did they ask me to do it, and why did Griffin ask me to do it this way, for a film that had nothing to do with American vernacular? Michael Nyman
A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor. Sofia Coppola
I've been very fortunate to be able to jump around. I just did this really wonderful film called Map of the World. That was a real, amazing, dramatic story. Then I did a movie called Company Men, a little comedy about the Bay of Pigs. Sigourney Weaver

There's always a question of duration, there's a question of who the orchestra is. No one is free to write what you want - you collaborate on a film score, and one of the good things is that someone else's work is motivating you. Michael Nyman
I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in. Sarah Polley
That's what's nice about directing a film and having it done: There's nothing more I can do about it. It's done. That's it. All I can do is let it go and hope that people are kind to it. Tom Hanks
No film should try to follow a trend, and do what film people think the public wants. There's no such thing as knowing what the public wants. Alan Bates
Movie distribution may very well have migrated fully to digital form by then, making a huge dent in the need to print film and physically distribute content. Vinton Cerf
It's great to be in a film that's able to have people really want to become socially conscious, to walk out of the theatre and want to do something. Don Cheadle
I'm not going to live my life unhappy and why should he and we talk about it and I think what's great about the film is that it shows is the meaning of family doesn't have to be as traditional as it once was, like you can make a family. Nia Long
