I've made movies that I thought were good. I've made movies that I thought were okay, but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think, I wish more people saw that - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.

The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art, and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
You know, I think the film business is its own worst enemy because it sells movies on DVD footage and 'behind the scenes,' and now it's a real struggle trying to keep storylines and plotlines a secret. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Nowadays it seems more and more like the 'business' in 'show business' is underlined, and there are campaigns, and it's all part of getting people in to see the movies. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My nominee for Best Picture of the year - maybe the best picture ever, because it's essentially made up of and is an ecstatic love letter to all other movies - is Christian Marclay's endlessly enticing must-see masterpiece 'The Clock.' Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I haven't seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it - see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
There are a lot of movies I'd like to throw away. That's not to say that I went in with that attitude. Any film I ever started, I went in with all the hope and best intentions in the world, but some films just don't work. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
