Right now if you're interested in being a dramatic actor they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.

It's too expensive that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.

I'm fighting the label of 'Black' actress simply because it's very limiting in people's eyes especially people who are making movies.

I want to be around for a long time singing and making albums and movies.

I like making sci-fi movies because I like watching sci-fi movies. I like watching horror. I like being in a horror movie. I'm a fan. My perspective's a little different just because I get to participate as well as spectate.

It's so great in Hollywood now. You have people past 40 sitting and talking about serious stuff writing and making movies and TV but there's laser pistols and superheroes and alien monsters involved. It's viable and mainstream.

I just feel like with independent movies... they're really free to do whatever they want. They're not afraid to make a statement about anything and there's not a huge studio behind them making sure that everything is wholesome and politically correct and all that.

There's too much down time making movies. That leads to boredom. And that leads to trouble.

In all honesty I think that I've had a very normal life even though I've been making movies since I was 9.

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

I knew I had to get out of Boston and stop making movies there at least for one movie otherwise no one would ever consider me for a movie that took place south of Providence.

I don't really care where movies come from as long as they're worth making.

The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.

It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing making movies.

I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.

I like making movies for myself and my friends and people with my sensibility.

People wrestle sometimes making movies and I think that conflict is a very essential thing. I think a lot of very happy productions have produced a lot of very banal movies.
