The movies were custard compared to politics.
Movies, like old-school TV, are cheesy, corny. Movies are not exciting anymore. They're not cutting edge.
I've been in movies where the movie doesn't come together but the role comes together, or the movie comes together but the role doesn't come together or something like that. Something misses. It's very difficult to make it hit on all cylinders - it's just very rare.
A lot of times, we're just sold these movies that are really cynically conceived and marketed, and they just want you there opening weekend, before everybody finds out it's not so good.
That's probably when I get the most angry at American movies, when they just so cynically manipulate the audience without even trying to give a good story.
I've always been optimistic. And I have a feeling that it happened because of going to all those movies with my grandmother in the '40s because there was no cynicism.
Definitely, it would be foolish to try and make my Czech films here in America, as foolish as it is when some Czech filmmakers try to make movies of America in Czechoslovakia.
My daughter's dabbling in showbiz, and she's done a few commercials. She's auditioned for some movies and shows, so I'm letting her pursue that. I'm OK with it.
I hate Danny Kaye movies.
I have always wanted to do a show where I could stay home. When you make movies, you might as well take a dart and throw it at a map.
My influences are a wide variety: from Dave Chappelle stand-up comedy specials on YouTube, to watching chick-flick comedy movies, to scrolling through stuff people say on the Internet.
I have a day job. I can make movies when I want to.
I came to the plain fields of Ohio with pictures painted by Hollywood movies and the works of Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. None of them had much to say, if at all, about Dayton, Ohio.
If 'Deadwood' had gone on another two years, I wouldn't have got as many movies made.
Growing up, I never thought about becoming an actress because I never saw deaf people in TV or movies. I didn't think it was possible.
I have a checklist of things I'd like to do in movies. One of them is get possessed. Die on a deathbed with a ghostly pallor - that's on my list.
When you're on your deathbed, you probably aren't counting the movies you've made.
I eat, sleep, and breathe movies. Though I didn't understand the seriousness of films when I made my debut, I felt on top of the world.
To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication.
I'm not mad about movies, there are too many people involved in the making of them, and they lack a definitive creative focus.
