"Based on a true story" is a come-on, the aesthetic equivalent of "no loan request refused." For, at best, the creator has fashioned a film based on his understanding of, interpretation of, and reduction of the report of an actual occurrence.

David Mamet

I feel with this film that as long as we tell Philomena's story and as long as we're true to her, which Jeff and Steve have already done by writing the story... we must not sell her short;. She's a most remarkable woman and all my concern was that we must be absolutely true to her story.

Judi Dench

It's hard when you're doing a film based on a true story to really figure out what all those relationships were.

James Franco

I'm kind of a grinder. I'm a Cinderella, an underdog story who fights.

Zach Johnson

A hero is a man who stands up manfully against his father and in the end victoriously overcomes him.

Sigmund Freud

That's like a dream come true. To be able to hire friends, to shoot a movie in the neighborhood where you grew up. To have it released. It's actually a dream. How many people can say that their first film got distributed and out there? What are the odds? My persistence made the odds work for me.

Louis Lombardi

My story was not a football story. My story was more about going against the odds of what life was handing me.

Rudy Ruettiger

For me to play any true person in a film based on a true story, I always want to make sure that it doesn't mock and it certainly doesn't trivialize the events that took place.

Lydia Hearst

If a film is based on a true story and you don't use anyone's name, you can do what you like.

Patty Jenkins

Always remember that the true meaning of Budo is that soft overcomes hard, small overcomes large.

Mas Oyama

Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water. Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible, nothing can surpass it. The soft overcomes the hard; the gentle overcomes the rigid. Everyone knows this is true, but few can put it into practice. Therefore the Master remains serene in the midst of sorrow. Evil cannot enter his heart. Because he has given up helping, he is people's greatest help. True words seem paradoxical.

Laozi

I've been under a lot of pressure in my career - fights I was the underdog or counted out in.

Danny Garcia

'Red Knot' is a film that I shot in Antarctica almost three years ago on a boat. It was a film that was improvised and it had very interesting circumstances while making the film, obviously. We were on a small boat bobbing around in Antarctica. It was a really remarkable experience.

Olivia Thirlby

But there's a decision that I find God is asking us to make: whether we are going to choose to interpret our circumstances based on what we hold to be true about God, or whether we're going to judge what we hold to be true about God based on our circumstances.
