“It used to be that you kind of got pigeonholed into one thing - you're either a stage actor or a TV actor or a movie actor. Today, there's a lot of crossover with film actors doing television, which never happened before, so those lines are a little bit more blurred than they used to be.” KindLittlesTodayFilmUsedActorsBitsLinesHappenedOne ThingStageTelevisionTvsLittle BitUsed To BeCrossoverMovie ActorsFilm ActorsStage Actors Author:Aaron Tveit

“One of the silliest lines ever said in a feature film came from Love Story, the 1970s hit, which immortalized the phrase, "Love means never having to say you're sorry."

“In the theater, you're so much more in charge as an actor. For better or for worse, you know what the audience is seeing. But you can be acting your socks off on film, and then you see the movie, and the camera is on the other actor, or they've cut out the lines you thought were significant, or they've adjusted the plot. So much of it is out of your control.” KnowsFilmActorsLinesActingAudienceCuttingSeeingTheaterCamerasSignificantPlotSock Author:Susan Sarandon

“Pearl Harbor is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on December 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them.” MayHas BeensTwoStoriesFilmThreeHoursLinesWalksVisionGraceMinutesSpecialEffectsSurpriseLove StoryAdmireOriginalityPearlsHarborsDecemberStunningSpecial EffectsTrianglesBanalityLove TriangleQuotingRedundantCenterpiecesSurprise AttacksDecember 7December 7 1941 Author:Roger Ebert
“These types of films that are psychologically sort of dark at times, I find extremely exciting to do because there's always something to think about. There's nothing more boring than to show up on set and say a line and know that your character means exactly what they say. It's interesting to have an unreliable narrator in a film and that's what both of those films have been.” ThinkingKnowsMeanHas BeensCharacterShowsFilmLinesDarkInterestingTypeExcitingBoringUnreliableNarrators Author:Leonardo DiCaprio
“Consider paint a film of light reflecting/absorbing material, and a colored paint a material which gives a particular, characteristic transmission of light via differential absorption and reflection. Call this reflected quality 'luminance' and measure it in millilamberts. This measure is as real and present as height, breadth, depth; and I find the phenomenon equally sumptuous and convincing. . . . Painted light, not color, not form, not perspective, or line, not image, or words, or equations, is painting. I make paintings which do not represent light, they are light.” GivingRealLightFilmFormLinesQualityParticularColorPaintingMaterialsPerspectiveReflectionPaintDepthHeightCharacteristicsPhenomenonEquationsConvincingReflectingAbsorbingBreadthTransmissionAbsorptionSumptuous Author:Jo Baer
“Since I started making films, I've been a nut for dialogue. When I first saw Star Wars when I was 12 years old, I came home and recited all of the lines from it. Before I talked about Death Stars exploding and Tie Fighters I was talking about how funny Princess Leia was and how sarcastic Han Solo was. So to me that's always the most important thing, and I love hearing great actors say great lines.” YearsFirstsImportantWarHomeFilmActorsStarsLinesTalkingSawsImportant ThingsHearingDialogueFighterTiesSarcasticNutsPrincessSoloGreat ActorsExplodingLeiaDeath Star Author:Bryan Singer
