“Shoot a few scenes out of focus. I want to win the foreign film award.”– Billy Wilder Related Quotes “Everybody’s a filmmaker today.”– John Milius “I guess maybe I try to make movies that are closer to real life than are many Hollywood movies. But I still try to stay within a commercial narrative, a contemporary American vernacular.”– Alexander Payne “I think these movies are as much for people of that time as for people who weren’t born. For people who weren’t born, they see how leaders must act under a crisis situation, not trying to be re-elected or not trying to check polls, that they go from their gut check.”– Kevin Costner
