Since Star Wars, that film's success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles.

Faye Dunaway

It is inconceivable to me that a million or three million or half a million human beings will think and feel precisely the same way on any single subject.

Chaim Potok

The Seydoux-Schlumberger industrial empire won't make $100 million movies. Hollywood does that much better. But you don't make movies because of their budgets, you make movies because you believe in them. Setting limits doesn't matter to me.

Jerome Seydoux

In shows where the audience wants to try to understand the work, the work is placed in a space of possibility where it becomes a subject of inquiry rather than being subject to conclusive interpretations. This is the gift I receive when I go abroad.

Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook

You have these big $200 and $300 million movies with special effects, and I've always thought, 'Gee, why don't we make 30 movies instead of one $300 million movie?' Let's shake it up a bit; wouldn't that be a better bet? Evidently not.

Jeff Bridges

As such the meaning of hegemony is subject to varying interpretations depending on how the historical role of the United States is interpreted.

Richard A. Falk

'Sholay' can be given so many interpretations. I have seen this film so many times since the time I was a kid that I think that there could be 50 lovely interpretations to this film. Different filmmakers can give it so many interpretations, as it's a lovely film.

Sushmita Sen

We doubt that any facts actually exist. We only have observations and interpretations. Most of the interpretations remain questionable.

Peter J. Carroll

The million, million, million ... to one chance happens once in a million, million, million ... times no matter how surprised we may be that it results in us.

Ronald Fisher

A narrator should not supply interpretations of his work; otherwise he would have not written a novel, which is a machine for generating interpretations.

Umberto Eco

If you were my agent and I was making $10 million a movie and made four movies a year, that means you have a salary of $4 million.

Peter Stormare

Indie movies can be a lot more stressful than studio pictures. The stakes are just as high whether you're talking $3 million or $40 million.

Brian Reitzell

I always felt the 'X-Men,' in a subtle way, often touched upon the subject of racism and inequality, and I believe that subject has come up in other titles, too. But we would never pound hard on the subject, which must be handled with care and intelligence.

Stan Lee

Most sex scenes in Hollywood movies are so boring. It's basically a $20 million guy kissing a $7 million woman, and rolling around and semi-humping.

James Schamus

I want more sci-fi movies that aren't $200 million movies that I have to wait for and generally be disappointed with.

David Hewlett

If the subject is no longer living, the immediate question is do you have enough first-person material to really get that story across. You'd like to avoid it just being other people's memories and interpretations.
