So I am getting a little bored with defining one type of film as American and the other European or from somewhere else because the division is no longer true. Wim Wenders
Well, I think every film student goes into film school thinking they want to write and direct their own movies, and they don't realize how much goes into it, and what a process it is. Alexis Bledel
With Fever, the film was so made for the screen, and there's so much surround sound that was done for the film - enormous detail paid to that. I wasn't thinking video, because I didn't know how it was going to turn out. Alex Winter

This film business, perhaps more so in America than in Europe, has always been about young sexuality. It's not true of theatre, but in America, film audiences are young. It's not an intellectual cinema in America. Jacqueline Bisset
All these horror movies are slasher film now. I like them, they're fun, but they wink at the audience and you're really not terrified through the movie. Gina Philips
Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession.
Joan Allen
