“I've made a way to allow myself to do big films, small films, dramas, comedies, action films, horror films, or whatever interests me, as a movie-goer. I like watching myself in movies. I want to choose movies that allow me to enjoy myself, the way that I want to entertain myself.” WayWantMadeBigsActionFilmEnjoyInterestComedyDramaHorrorHorror FilmAction Films Author:Samuel L.

“I do like working on independent films where it is a smaller budget and less pressure. The pace is also quicker than that of a big budget film. You are shooting at a fairly fast pace. Sitting around for three or four days can be quite draining. So I guess in terms of film or television, I would say filming an independent feature.” BigsFilmThreeTermFourTelevisionSittingPressureIndependentShootingBudgetsFeaturesPaceSitting AroundIndependent FilmDraining Author:Colm Meaney
“It [TV] is the cancer of film. It's why people can't be educated to film. In the late '60s, we expected to see a movie or two every week and be stimulated, excited and inspired. And we did. Every week after week. Antonioni, Goddard, Truffaut - this endless list of people. And then comes television and home video. I know how to work exactly for the big screen, but it doesn't matter what I think about the art of movie-making versus TV.” PeopleThinkingKnowsArtTwoMatterHomeBigsFilmKnow HowWeekTelevisionTvsLateInspiredCancerExcitedExpectedScreensListsEndlessVideoEducatedVersusBig ScreenMovie MakingHome Videos Author:Jack Nicholson

“I would hate to be thrust into the middle of a big film and not deliver.

“My dad hasn't said much about his college days. Oh, a few times, he might start telling stories. And I've seen some highlight film of him from college. I remember thinking he looked really small.

“I like big escapist films. It's odd because the type of comedian I am and the things I do when I'm writing and directing myself usually deal with the darker side of the human psyche and excruciating social faux pas. I often deal in taboos and the subjects I do as a stand-up are quite challenging. But my film roles have been much more fun and escapist.” WritingHumansHas BeensBigsFilmFunSocialSidesChallengesDealsRolesSubjectsTypeComedianOddTabooHuman PsycheEscapistsFauxDarker SideFaux Pas Author:Ricky Gervais

“The whole awards thing is great. Why? Because the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards, they put a focus on the industry, and that focus translates into people buying tickets to see movies or download films, legitimately download them.
