A Quote by Griffin Dunne

On every movie I’ve done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don’t envy them, at all. — © Griffin Dunne
On every movie I’ve done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don’t envy them, at all.
On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don't envy them, at all.
I've been in a lot of shows, I will say that. Every once in a while, I'll look at a tape of something I've done, and I won't even remember having done it.
I haven't done a movie without a member of the original cast of 'Zombieland' - they've all been in every movie I've done.
There is some pleasure in doing a movie and problem solving on a specific movie and getting a movie made, but once they are done, we don't look at them again, much less relate one to another.
Envy, envy eats them alive. If you had money, they’d envy you that. But since you don’t, they envy you for having such a good, bright, loving daughter. They envy you for just being a happy man. They envy you for not envying them. One of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren’t happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.
Oftentimes when I'm deciding to do a movie, the main thing is really, that I look at, is the director. I've come to feel that more and more. The more movies I've done and the older I've - the more experience I have, I always knew it was a director's medium, and I always said that.
I've done so much for the WWE. Everything I've done, any movie I've done, any notoriety I have, it's because of them.
I don't expect every movie to be done exactly the way I would have done it.
I put in all the dirty words. It works really well. The thing that we found with 'Drive Angry,' more than anything else is that we wrote the movie that we wanted to see. I've done that before. I've wanted to see 'Jason X'. It did not become the movie that I thought it would be. That happens. It's happened with every movie I've ever done.
This is the fourth movie that I've done with this set of director-writers and I've learned to trust them at this point, because actually I started on Lego before they did.
The people who've done well within the [Hollywood] system are the people whose instincts, whose desires [are in natural alignement with those of the producers] - who want to make the kind of movies that producers want to produce. People who don't succeed - people who've had long, bad times; like [Jean] Renoir, for example, who I think was the best director, ever - are the people who didn't want to make the kind of pictures that producers want to make. Producers didn't want to make a Renoir picture, even if it was a success.
I've done every job in the world, and movies, the only thing close to a movie that I've ever done is it's kind of like being in a band.
I love having my hair and makeup done for red carpets, but to have that done every day would be exhausting.
Having been a fan of Frantic Assembly for many years I'm really looking forward to working with them as a co-director as it's something I've not done before.
I've been the movie business for over 50 years, and I've done everything imaginable that could be done or ever was done by anybody.
Do not look at the faults of what others have done or not done; observe what you yourself have done or not done.
