Once a movie goes out into the world, it belongs to anyone who goes to see it.

Peter Webber

I've always felt that I shouldn't make a movie if someone else could do it better.

Joe Dante

You ever talk about a movie with someone that read the book? They're always so condescending. 'Ah, the book was much better than the movie.' Oh really? What I enjoyed about the movie: no reading.

Jim Gaffigan

If you're going to build something, don't build on land someone else already owns. You want your own land, your own domain, your own sovereignty. Trouble is, so much of the choice land - the land where all the people are - is already owned by someone else: By Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and Apple (in apps, anyway).

John Battelle

In my career, I've always felt like all great things came at once, and when something goes bad, it always seems that everything else seems to start going bad.

Charles Kelley

I read the book and I think, "Well, this is the movie we're going to make," and then someone else reads it, and they take a completely different movie from it. And both are valid.

Casey Affleck

When a movie based on a book comes out, people always say that the book is always better than the movie. So I'm always interested in reading the book, too.

Mannie Fresh

You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.

Edgar Cayce

I'm never aiming to make a movie like someone else's movie, but in order to describe a movie to someone else who hasn't seen it, you usually have to reference things they have seen.

Rob Zombie

I really believe that the movie will never be as good as the book, both because the book goes on longer - a movie is basically an abridgment of a book - and because books are internal. But they are incredibly powerful. The visual format is, you know, amazing.

Scott Turow

Luck always seems like it belongs to someone else.

David Levien

I'd say the purest experience for the movie is not to have read the book because I think when you've read the book you're just ticking off boxes. I think that after you see the movie, reading the book is a cool thing. I always say the movie's not meant to replace the book. That's ridiculous. I'm a huge fan of the book.

Zack Snyder

As a teenager and a young adult, I never felt like my own story was interesting enough to tell, so I always wrote lyrics from someone else's perspective - told someone else's story.

Zach Condon

I always travel with one book. I'll read it and then leave it for someone else, and take another book.

Patrick J. Adams

When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.

Lady Gaga

When you have your own bus, then you have dignity. When you have your own school, you have dignity. When you have your own country, you have dignity.When you have something of your own, you have dignity. But whenever you are begging for a chance to participate in that which belongs to someone else, or use that which belongs to someone else, on an equal basis with the owner, that's not dignity. That's ignorance.

Malcolm X
