Filmmaker Quotations | Page 3

Every filmmaker knows that when you make a book into a movie, the first thing you have to do is kill the book, unfortunately. You've got to recreate it.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

I'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.

My cousin Malcolm Lee is also a filmmaker.

The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.

I was a filmmaker. I made movies. I made films. And I always took photos and made films, always from the beginning.

The comments you'll get from a filmmaker about your performance are going to be very different. My writing workshop is about mixing it up, cross-pollinating, not only in genres but in occupations.

As a filmmaker, you're always supposed to be with your characters, in all movies, even if they're villains.

I think I'm a prudent filmmaker.

If you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

In a way, I managed to get the deepest things, the best things out of people. That's why I'm a filmmaker. If you don't have it in you, you'd better do something else.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

Film is a battleground.

I'm really interested in having a studio one day and being a filmmaker.

I mean, Deadpool has a script, but it's a very complicated process to find the right filmmaker. We'll see.

I think filmmakers all secretly wanna be musicians and all musicians secretly wanna be filmmakers.

I'm lucky a couple of filmmakers have seen beyond what you're saying.

I know how to write. So I am not totally at the mercy of filmmakers, but it's not a bad point.

Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.

Every filmmaker's different, every filmmaker has a different approach.

An actor needs to be not remotely anywhere close to in control, and a filmmaker has to be totally in control.
