I turned down 'American Gigolo.' There are many films - like 'Ghostbusters' - that I turned down... The first one I did was 'Foul Play' with Goldie Hawn, but I turned down 'Animal House' - I turned that down.

Chevy Chase

The United States and Turkey are the only two countries that don't have some kind of subsidy for the Arts. The whole culture in society has made certain films more acceptable. I turned down so many films in the '60s and '70s.

I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.

As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

Shia LaBeouf

I teach at USC. I have a big class of 360 kids, only about a fifth of whom are film majors. I don't just show the Hollywood blockbusters. I show independent films, foreign films, documentaries.

Leonard Maltin

I've been influenced by a lot of films. And a lot of them are the typical interesting, artsy films. But I haven't talked enough about how there are those few big blockbusters that really rock your world.

Patty Jenkins

I've always played down the drama in my films. In my main scenes, there's never an opportunity for an actor to let go of everything he's got inside. I always try to tone down the acting, because my stories demand it, to the point where I might change a script so that an actor has no opportunity to come out well.

Michelangelo Antonioni

I turned down a lot of films.

Francesca Annis

Failure at the box office of some of my earlier films led to a lack of opportunity to play main lead in good films.

I've made a dozen films in the English language. But then, for love, for my family and friends, I returned to Europe... I annoyingly - looking back - turned down films like 007, 'For Your Eyes Only,' written specially for me.

Ornella Muti

Brit Marling smartest girl I've ever met. Hands down. Brilliant. Her story? She had a graduate degree from a top tier school and turned down a job with some big company. She went to LA, said she was going to be an actress. She wasn't getting auditions, so she started writing her own films.

Billy Magnussen

I collect all the reviews of the films I turned down. And when they're bad - I have to smile.

Simone Signoret

As far as acting in films, there is not much out there that is very interesting to do. The ones that are interesting to me are independent films and they have trouble raising money. With people putting their money into blockbusters, there is not much left for the independents.

Karen Allen

I actually turned down an opportunity for a private interview with Adolph Hitler.
