Sean Connery Quote

I'm only interested in being a good actor and in being remembered for my best films, not for the way I look. But it seems inevitable in this line of work that I have to care about the way I look without getting obsessed about it.

Kevin Costner

I always feel ill-prepared for commentaries and it had been so long I was afraid I'd forget everything that happened on the film.

David Fincher

The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre.

No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.
