Steve Martin & Martin Short—
Only Murders in the Building
—5/25/2022
[Martin:] I've read that monkeypox is sexually transmitted, so neither Marty nor I could possibly catch it." [Short:] "Unless you can catch it through batteries."
Harvey Guillén—
Werewolves Within
and
What We Do in the Shadows
—6/25/2021
I wanted with Joachim to have quirks and certain characteristics that I know from friends and people I've worked with...I love him being over the top and flamboyant, but still grounded, 'cause we all have a friend like that.
Jack Dylan Grazer & Fionn Whitehead—
Don't Tell a Soul
—12/14/2020
[Grazer:] I feel like Fionn, not only on set but just in life, showed me the ropes as like a brother would do.
Will Forte—
Extra Ordinary
,
MacGruber
—2/17/2020
I feel like most of the discussion about the character on this one was about hair. (
Laughs
.) Hair and facial hair....And they told me to take a look at Chris de Burgh videos.
Ruth E. Carter—
Dolemite Is My Name
,
Do the Right Thing
—11/20/2019
I don't want to be on my own island...I'm here to collaborate, not to just be the Grand Poobah of costume design.
Scott Z. Burns & Daniel Jones—
The Report
—10/11/2019
[Burns:] 'The only thing more powerful than telling someone a story they don't know is telling someone a story that they thought they knew'...Whenever I could I used the language and the facts that are in the report to tell the story of the program.
Ira Sachs—
Frankie
—10/7/2019
I'm interested in a democratic narrative...Anyone who is on the screen is interesting. Right? Everyone has their own story.
Alfonso Cuarón—
Roma
—1/4/2019
I was very lucky to be raised by two strong and very generous women...[Cleo] embodies, in one hand, those scars that I share with my family, but in the other hand, those scars that I share with a whole society.
Pawel Pawlikowski—
Cold War
,
Ida
—10/5/2018
The more you think about [your parents], the more contradictory they get...A lot of people find themselves in this film. You'd expect it's such an unusual, eccentric story, but...
Peter Hedges—
Ben is Back
,
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
—10/12/2018
Who wants to be directed by their father? Particularly at an age when—the fun part of being 21 is that you fire your parents. Y'know, you're free of them.
Paul Dano—
Wildlife
,
Love & Mercy
—10/5/2018
[I] immediately felt a sort of uncanny personal relationship to it: the characters, the sense of love in this really great struggle...a lot of pain. [Richard Ford] somehow wrote about this very difficult situation with a great amount of compassion.
Frederick Wiseman—
Monrovia, Indiana
;
Titicut Follies
—9/28/2018
I'm trying to make a group of movies that represent as many different aspects of contemporary life as I can.
Kathryn Hahn & Tamara Jenkins—
Private Life
—10/5/2018
[Hahn:] Like childbirth, a movie is like: you kind of forget the pain and would do it again in a second.
Bo Burnham—
Eighth Grade
—6/7/2018
I felt...pop culture is insane, and I always felt so gross for participating in it, and so hypocritical for participating in it. So what I’ll be is an angry hypocrite. Because that’s a coherent, at least, worldview.
Paul Schrader—
First Reformed
,
Auto Focus
—4/6/2018
‘Why are we here? Where are we going? What will become of us?’ And for twenty or thirty thousand years, that’s been a hypothetical question…well, it’s no longer…
Jason Isaacs—
The Death of Stalin
,
Star Trek: Discovery
,
Harry Potter
—4/22/2018
You can't sprinkle perfume on a turd...You can't make a bad script into a good story.
Michael Mayer—
The Seagull
—April 29, 2018
For most of my life, I really identified with Constantin...but through the years, I've probably become more of a Trigorin.
Armando Iannucci—
The Death of Stalin
—3/12/2018
The comedy's suddenly different. The jokes are more about crazy behavior, paranoia, and hysteria.
Andrew Haigh—
Lean on Pete
,
Looking
,
Weekend
—3/5/2018
I think most of us are trying to find things to not be alone...we all need so much to be loved.
Paul McGuigan—
Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool
,
Sherlock
—12/8/2017
Annette is a student. I went to see her in her house...and she had books of Gloria and she had Post-Its everywhere.
Richard Linklater—
Last Flag Flying
—10/12/2017
It's touchy ground when you get on flag territory these days...
Todd Haynes—
Wonderstruck
,
Superstar
—10/13/2017
This age, which hasn't been named yet, it hasn't been mapped yet, it hasn't been defined and labeled: everything's possible...There's an intimacy that you can have with your same-sex friendships...that you may never achieve again in life.
Kyle Mooney & Dave McCary—
Brigsby Bear
,
Saturday Night Live
—7/15/2017
[Mooney:] It is nice, though, these pieces that get cut have a chance to live somewhere and that people can watch them. So there's certainly disappointment when your sketches keep on getting cut, but...
Brett Haley & Katharine Ross—
The Hero
,
The Graduate
—4/12/2017
[Ross:] One of the most rewarding things about working with Brett is the word 'options.' He likes options. And that's very stimulating for an actor.
James Gray—
The Lost City of Z
,
Two Lovers
—4/9/2017
Art is my form of religion. It's my way of dealing with mortality...I never saw Fawcett's story as a tragedy. There was a level of transcendence to it.
Catherine Eaton & Teddy Sears—
The Sounding
,
24: Legacy
,
The Flash
—3/3/2017
[Sears:] The greatest part of being an actor, I think, is that wonderful thing that happens between two people who are really listening, really responding...
Ritesh Batra—
The Sense of an Ending
,
The Lunchbox
—2/21/2017
It's really about pissing off those you love to impress those you will never meet.
Damien Chazelle & Justin Hurwitz—
La La Land
,
Whiplash
—10/6/2016
[Chazelle:] See if you can marry two things that feel like they should not exist in a movie together: the heights of musical spectacle that we're used to from Old Hollywood with a more documentary-informed sense of realism...
Bill Nighy—
Their Finest
—2/16/2017
I'm a science-fiction freak...I dig that sort of stuff.
Mike Mills—
20th Century Women
,
Beginners
,
Thumbsucker
—12/19/2016
How did I get to be this person? What's the history of me? And is it the right story?...And I like trying to get people I've known right on screen.
Gregg Henry—
Guardians of the Galaxy
,
Body Double
,
Jason Bourne
—08/28/2016
The first thing I did with De Palma was
Scarface
...A De Palma set is a very different kind of set than a James Gunn set or a Paul Greengrass set...He likes it extremely quiet on the set...
Sean Gunn—
Guardians of the Galaxy
,
Gilmore Girls
—8/28/2016
[Vol. 2] starts only a couple of months after the first one...understand, from Kraglin's point-of-view, that Quill did double-cross them...And so the movie starts from that jumping-off point of 'I'm not sure everything is feeling great in Ravager-ville.'
Rick Cosnett—
The Flash
—08/27/2016
People['s]...imaginations are going crazy as to what [Eddie] could be next. And I would love him to have powers and come back. Especially now with 'Flashpoint'...
John Krasinski & Margo Martindale—
The Hollars
—8/21/2016
[Krasinski:] I needed to make sure that we weren't making a 'movie family,' that you could project your own family into them. It had to feel like your family, it had to feel like your hometown...it had to feel like you were living through this with them.
Jonathan Groff, Murray Bartlett, Frankie J. Alvarez, Raúl Castillo, Lauren Weedman & Daniel Franzese—
Looking
—6/26/2016
[Groff:] We're seeing Patrick become a man and sort of come into his own. And be okay with not having an answer...I didn't consciously try to put myself into Patrick, but inevitably...when I'm playing a character, it starts to bleed into my everyday life.
Ira Sachs & Theo Taplitz—
Little Men
—4/29/2016
[Taplitz:] Life may not always be fair, or good, but there's certainly moments of it that can be quite amazing...What [Jake] learns from Tony is to be sure of himself, to be there and to be proud of your decisions.
Mike Birbiglia—
Don't Think Twice
—6/9/2016
No one knows how to direct a movie, no matter what anybody tells you. Nobody knows how to direct a movie until you've directed a movie.
Matt Ross—
Captain Fantastic
,
Silicon Valley
—7/7/2016
On a daily basis, you're re-calibrating, if not an hourly basis, trying to do the right thing by your children...They're only in the house so long, and I'm curating their lives.
Rebecca Miller—
Maggie's Plan
—4/24/2016
She's almost, in a strange way, like a saint. Even though she keeps making wrong decisions, she's very ethically motivated...
Susan Sarandon & Lorene Scafaria—
The Meddler
,
Thelma & Louise
—4/11/2016
[Sarandon:] I think everybody can act, really. Surviving in this profession is something you can brag about.
Anton Yelchin & Jeremy Saulnier—
Green Room
,
Star Trek Beyond
—4/11/2016
[Yelchin:] I think there's a selfishness to acting, but it's a selfishness that I
can't
be thinking about anything else.
Tom Hiddleston & Marc Abraham—
I Saw the Light
—4/1/2016
[Hiddleston:] I sort of represent Hank Williams' experience for the world: his truth. His joy, his pain, his struggles. Dressing like him, sounding like him, speaking like him, and singing like him.
Jeff Nichols—
Midnight Special
—3/21/2016
How inclined we are as parents to project ourselves on our kids: what we want them to be, what we think they should be. We can't help ourselves....But the essence of being a parent...is just giving up. Giving up that control.
Matt Sobel—
Take Me to the River
—4/1/2016
We have to play the role, fake it, before we actually have earned the right to call ourselves adults, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it does sort of set us up for this kind of fall.
William Shatner—
Star Trek
—3/18/2016 & 4/21/2017
I did a Broadway play in New York and essentially stayed because there weren’t any young actors—my age, my look—who had had the experience I had of five years of continuously playing onstage.
Sally Field & Michael Showalter—
Hello My Name Is Doris
—1/22/2016
[Field:] Trying on clothes...that was how I started to find who she was...It was when I started to play dress-up with these racks and racks and racks of old, revolting clothes.
Gavin Hood—
Eye in the Sky
—3/2/2016
My dad...used to just say, 'Don't act. Be...This is not about you. You are here representing another human being. Get your ego out of the way and honor this person and represent them with humility and truth.'
Reggie Watts & Benjamin Dickinson—
Creative Control
—2/26/2016
[Watts:] Dancebots! I'd just love to see an entire ballroom floor of people in exosuits!
Dana Fox—
How to Be Single
—1/28/2016
I started doing a lot of research into the science of love and sex...And I met my husband and he didn't check off a single box on my list. He just loved me and I loved him.
László Nemes & Géza Röhrig—
Son of Saul
—12/12/2015
[Nemes:] It had to be a very organic process. We wanted to rely on the imagination of the viewer.
