Motion Picture Actor

Famous quotes containing the words motion picture, motion, picture and/or actor:

    The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    No motion has she now, no force;
    She neither hears nor sees;
    Rolled round in earth’s diurnal course,
    With rocks, and stones, and trees.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    So long as a man-of-war exists, it must ever remain a picture of much that is tyrannical and repelling in human nature.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    I’m notorious for giving a bad interview. I’m an actor and I can’t help but feel I’m boring when I’m on as myself.
    Rock Hudson (1925–1985)
