“I really like dating stories, like in Betty and Veronica comics; I like David Lynch and H.P. Lovecraft for the dark gut-wrenching stuff, and I'm inspired by Miyazaki's films for the subtle heart-warming moments, as well as the moments that blew up my imagination.” WellsHeartMomentsStoriesFilmStuffImaginationDarkDatingInspiredGutsSubtleMy ImaginationLovecraftHeart Warming Author:Fred Seibert
“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 never was that boy who loved gangster films, but when I was growing up, I was obsessed with the detective Dick Tracy. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and he really inspired me.

It made me want to become an actor.” WantMadeKidsAgeFilmActorsBoysGrowing UpGrowingHollywoodInspiredGoldenObsessedFavouriteDetectivesGangstersGolden AgeTracy Author:Ryan Gosling
“I grew up loving action movies and films that were set in supernatural, unimaginable places.

“Directors who have inspired me include Billy Wilder, Federico Fellini, lngmar Bergman, John Ford, Orson Welles, Werner Herzog, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Francis Ford Coppola and Ernst Lubitsch. In art school, I studied painters like Edward Hopper, who used urban motifs, Franz Kafka is my favorite novelist. My approach to film stems from my art background, as I go beyond the story to the sub-conscious mood created by sound and images.” ArtStoriesSchoolFilmUsedSoundDirectorsApproachConsciousInspiredMy FavoriteMoodBackgroundsPainterNovelistsStemUrbanArt SchoolStanleyHitchcockWilderMotifsBergman Author:David Lynch
