Do you take requests? If so, would you be willing to do headcanons (or maybe a full fic idk) of poly!elmax and poly!lumax getting ready for a school dance (like prom) and going to the dance?

(sorry idrk how to deliver on the poly part so here's an elmax ficlet I hope that's close enough)

"Ready for the unveiling?"

A muffled "Yes" comes through the bathroom door.

"Ok, let's see it."

And the knob turns and "OHgeez-" Max's eyes go wide at the sight.

Her mind races while El waits for her reaction.

Responses do come to mind, lots of them, just not the kind she can say to El. She goes easier on her than anyone else, because she isn't like anyone else. There's just no way to put a gentle spin on girl, your face looks like an entire circus.

She's big on El making her own choices, but letting her do her own makeup for the dance was a huge mistake.

Hopeful doe eyes look at her through lashes so heavy with mascara that they're sticking together when she blinks. And the rouge. It's just... two red circles. Like from a Twister mat.

"Uhh." Briefly, Max considers slapping on a fake grin and a thumbs up and finding one positive thing to say. Which would be what? That... she guesses the hair is.... potentially salvageable...

No. There'll be plenty of bold looks at the dance, but this is something else, and she can easily picture it getting El a kind of attention that might ruin her fun tonight.

No answer is answer enough.

"Not good?"

"It's just..." Max follows her back into the bathroom, where she coughs at the smell of 1,000 gallons of perfume and burnt hair, "a lot."

The counter is littered with bottles and brushes and rouges and eyeshadows and magazines open to photos that have contributed parts to the fashion Frankenstein in the mirror. El's fingertips touch the glossy title on a page of pictures of Julia Roberts for that new movie Pretty Woman, frowning like what could have gone wrong.

Max fails to hold back a snort, and El looks up.

"What?" she asks, looking confused throughout the momentary giggling hug that Max can't help giving her.

"You're cute," she answers. "El, you're pretty, I just can't even see you through all that stuff."

She could keep going. It'd be some real romantic shit to tell El she's already the most beautiful girl on the planet, but that isn't the issue. Max knows that any concern she has about the way she looks tonight has more to do with fitting in as a normal high school girl than whether anybody finds her attractive.

Looks don't seem to have much to do with El's interest in anyone; compliments on that subject do nothing for her, and she basically never gives them out. It doesn't bother Max. And she gets it. It's not like El being pretty is the main thing she likes about her, either.

"Look, dressing up is fun but you're supposed to still look like you. And this," Max plops the magazine aside, "might not reeeally be the look you want to go for, like... in public."

"It is kind of.. different." El considers her reflection, left eye stuck half-shut. "Do over?"

"Maybe so." Max 's eyes catch a paintbrush on the counter, and she frowns, picking it up. Like, a full-on big art brush, with paint flecks on the handle and everything, its bristles loaded with makeup. "Is.... is this Will's?"

"Yes. He has lots."

Max smirks, picturing him in the bedroom across the hall, searching the floor around his easel. She rubs a thumb over the makeup caking the other girl's cheek. "Wonder if he has some turpentine, too."

"What are those?"

"It's..." Max sighs, grabbing her a scrunchie, "nothing. Here."

"El," Will's voice comes down the hall, like they've conjured him. "You didn't put the iron somewhere weird, did you?" he leans in the doorway. "Mom can't find it. Hey, Max."

"Hey."

"I didn't move it," El answers.

"'Kay." He slides out of the doorway, but his hand shoots back to grab the door frame and he pulls himself abruptly back in, looking aghast from El's face, to Max, to the brush in Max's hand.

"What'd you do to her?" he gapes.

"No, no-"

"Oh, Will," El asks, gathering back her hair, "Do you have turp and tine?"

His face grows one notch more bewildered. "Girls use turpen-"

"No," Max interrupts, shoving the paintbrush into his hand and making get out eyes. "We don't. Here. Don't worry about it."

Will grabs Max's wrist and pulls her one step beyond the doorway, whispering, "You know she has trouble fitting in, do you know what people are gonna-"

"I! Didn't! Do that!" she hisses, pointing. "I'm working on it."

He grimaces, sniffing the air, "Are you sure about the iron?" and she gives him a shove.

El is buried in the sink, scrubbing away. The eventual sight of her actual face makes Max smile. "Take two?"

"You do it."

Max clears a space on the counter with her forearm, sending a lipstick tube rolling into the sink, and pats it for El to sit.

A soft knock on the door frame and Will is back.

"I have... finer ones," he steps forward and lays an assorted handful of paintbrushes on the counter like an uncertain offering. "I thought.. like, for details..." he shrugs.

"Thanks, Will," El smiles cheerfully at him as he backs out again.

"Don't know what I'm gonna do with either one of you," Max mutters, smirking. "Okay. So. The eyeshadow. Maybe let's narrow it down to one color?"

"You will be looking at me. I won't." El shrugs. "Make me look how you like to look at."

She knows what El means, but she still has to pause.

"This is how I like to look at you," she gestures at all of her - bare face, comfy t-shirt, fraying cutoffs.

"But." El gestures at the makeup and the dresses hanging on the closet door. "We bought all this stuff."

"We'll wear the stuff. I'm just saying. I like you however. Just, you looking like you. You know that, right?"

El smiles softly, nodding.

Max gets to work. And while she works, her canvas is staring back at her, wheels clearly turning.

"What're you thinking about?" she finally has to ask.

"Trying to think how you would look if you looked different." El squints slightly. "But then.. you would look like someone else. And I would miss your face."

"No you wouldn't, 'cause then I never woulda had this face," Max answers, choosing a pinky gloss and starting to apply it to El's lips.

"Ohh.. yeah.." she whispers thoughtfully. "Then. I -"

"Hold still."

"Max."

"Shut up," she laughs, "you're making me mess it up. Don't smile."

But she is, all teeth, and now Max can't keep her hand steady, and it's impossible.

El reaches up and runs a finger along Max's eyebrow, and Max's laugh fades.

"I would like whatever face had you in it," El says, looking at each of her features and then the whole. "But I'm glad you are in my favorite one."

Max smiles, and El smiles at her smile and stretches up, wanting to kiss it.

"Wait, you're gonna-" Max holds up the gloss.

El twists around to look in the mirror. "You already messed it up."

"I??"

"You," she tugs on Max's shirt, bringing a laughing little kiss into reach.

"Oh, hey," Max looks at her lips, "strawberry."

#they'd be seniors in 89 and that movie came out in 90 so this is almost not an anachronism #sorry this took so long i had to stop in the middle of it and do a dissertation on what pretty means to el #elmax #ficlet #this forced me to actually consider what elmax dynamics would be and its come to my attention that I get aro vibes from both of them #so I can only picture them as like BFFs with one drop too much romance #fic #mine

Get Here by Oleta Adams is a beautiful song and I’d love to see how you interpret it!

Gorgeous song, I love it :(( This blurb’s short but sweet, wanted to get it out there!

He couldn’t stop thinking about her. Every day, every night, every hour, she was on his mind. It had been that way for months but he never admitted, he never told her how he felt or what he wished to have with her. Every chance he got to tell her that he loved her, he froze up and said something else, he was too afraid to tell her. It didn’t help when she hugged him so tightly tonight after his show, when she buried her face in his shoulder, when he caught the scent of her perfume, when he felt her hands clutch at the material of his custom suit, it only made him love her more.

The bed he was laying in was huge, more than big enough for two, he couldn’t sleep, his mind was too busy thinking about the way she held him closer when he tried to pull away. He tossed and he turned, staring blankly at the ceiling as he rubbed his face in frustration. His arm fell upon the empty side of the bed, wishing she was there, sleeping peacefully or looking at him, a smile on her face and her hand on his chest, asking him if he was OK. It wasn’t right to think of a best friend in this way but he couldn’t stop himself, it hurt more when he attempted to do that, it physically pained his heart, he had to let the feelings grow.

Harry wanted her in his life, as more than just a best friend. He wanted to be her lover, her closest confidant, her partner, her boyfriend, the one she could run to do whenever she wanted to and be welcomed with a kiss. He wanted to be that person for her, he didn’t want to watch her be with somebody else when he believed she belonged with him, he didn’t want her to slip through his fingers. He had another opportunity to tell her, he had wasted enough of him, he had to build up the courage to put his heart out there on the line. He came to the conclusion that he would rather have her know how he felt and have his dream crushed than her never knowing what his heart said to him whenever she flashed him a smile.

The digital clock read 1:38AM. He hoped she was awake. He slipped out of bed and pulled on the t-shirt he wore last night, hopping into a pair of sweatpants before leaving his suite and heading over to hers on the same level. He raised his hand to knock on the door and suddenly froze, like he always did, wondering if he was about to make a huge mistake. What if she doesn’t feel the same way? What if I ruin our friendship? Is it worth it? It was his head asking him those questions but he never listened to his head, Harry always followed his heart. He took a deep breath and knocked twice, swallowing deeply while he waited. To his surprise, she opened the door, dressed in one of the hotel’s robes, rubbing one of her eyes.

“Harry? Why are you awake? Is someth-”

“I love you.”

The words flew out of his mouth effortlessly, after holding them in for so long. He stood there, hands tucked in his pockets, eyes locked to her, her expression full of shock. Awkward silence arose between the two, a green gaze staying with her surprised one, lips parted but she couldn’t find any words to say, so Harry said more, to coax a reaction out of her.

“Remember how many times we watched Notting Hill together? Well I’m Julia Roberts right now, and I’m just a boy, standing in front of a girl, asking her to love him.”

She gasped, choking back tears at his words, as memories flooded into her mind, of all the times she wanted to hear him say those three little words. She could barely say them back, instead she cried his name and flung herself at him, wrapping her arms around his waist and hiding her face in his chest. Harry’s response was instant, arms locked around her, pulling her closer, he needed her closer, he always wanted her closer, closer than close. He smiled into her hair and kissed the top of her head, happy that he went with his heart and not with his head.

“Does this mean you love me too?”

“Yes, yes, I do…I love you.” She mumbled, sighing in content when she felt his hold get tighter around her. The words in her voice were like music to his ears, a boyish grin adorning his face, one she couldn’t see but one she could easily sense when he kissed her again. He asked her to come to his suite and sleep with him, and because she was a girl in love, she replied with a “Yes.” and a searing kiss.

Movie Quotes

Official Website: Movie Quotes

• A Great Movie Evolves when Everybody Has the Same Vision in Their Heads. – Alan Parker • A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake. – Alfred Hitchcock • A lot of the struggle I had with movies is I really loved moments and tones and feelings in a scene, and I loved creating those, but I never really had great stories to string them together. – Louis C. K. • A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar – you pretend it’s not there. – Tom Stoppard • A movie star is not an artist, he is an art object. – Richard Schickel • All industries are brought under the control of such people [film producers] by Capitalism. If the capitalists let themselves be seduced from their pursuit of profits to the enchantments of art, they would be bankrupt before they knew where they were. You cannot combine the pursuit of money with the pursuit of art. – George Bernard Shaw • All of my problems are rather complicated – I need an entire novel to deal with them, not a short story or a movie. It’s like a personal therapy. – Manuel Puig • All television ever did was shrink the demand for ordinary movies. The demand for extraordinary movies increased. If any one thing is wrong with the movie industry today, it is the unrelenting effort to astonish. – Clive James • And at the end of the day, if the movie’s no good, I’ll live to fight another day. – Scott Caan • And I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it’s not you going through it. – Anthony Hopkins • And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy. – Nicolas Cage • And what movies we saw! All the actors and actresses whose photographs I collected, with their look of eternity! Their radiance, their eyes, their faces, their voices, the suavity of their movements! Their clothes! Even in prison movies, the stars shone in their prison clothes as if tailors had accompanied them in their downfall. – Paula Fox • Be your own hero, it’s cheaper than a movie ticket. – Douglas Horton • Coming Home had been made before and Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter, different kinds of movies. – Oliver Stone • Delay and indecision are first weapons in the armory of moviemakers. – Shirley Temple • Directing a movie is serious, it’s not a joke. – Fred Durst • Directing ain’t about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn’t want to go to film school. I didn’t know what the point was. The fact is, you don’t know what directing is until the sun is setting and you’ve got to get five shots and you’re only going to get two. – David Fincher • Do you know what makes a movie work? Moments. Give the audience half a dozen moments they can remember, and they’ll leave the theatre happy. – Rosalind Russell • Don’t be an extra in your own movie. Move out of your comfort zone. Don’t be afraid of feeling uncomfortable or awkward. Step-out and make it happen. – Bob Proctor • Dude, I didn’t say Jude Law can’t act. I didn’t say Jude Law was in bad movies. I just said he’s in every movie. – Chris Rock • Ego problems are endemic in every walk of life, but in the movie business egomaniacs are megalomaniacs. – Lynda Obst • ‘Election’ is a movie I’d give a leg to cross the director’s name out and put mine in. – Jason Reitman • Every actor you learn from, take something from everyone – big actor or not. Whether they’re big movie stars or not doesn’t really matter. – Diane Kruger • Every time I’m shooting a movie I want to kill myself. Because I don’t see the light in the end of the tunnel. – Emir Kusturica • Every time you make a movie it’s an adventure. – Shia LaBeouf • Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends, church school, church activities. All my friends weren’t allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio, so I didn’t really know anything different. That’s how I was raised. – Katy Perry • Everyone told me to pass on Speed because it was a ‘bus movie.’ – Sandra Bullock • Everything I learned I learned from the movies. – Audrey Hepburn • Filmmaking is a completely imperfect art form that takes years and, over those years, the movie tells you what it is. Mistakes happen, accidents happen and true great films are the results of those mistakes and the decisions that those directors make during those moments. – Jason Reitman • For my wrap present, Colin Farrell gave me a first edition book. I got so involved with this character and I was so sad when the movie was over that when I got home and I tried to read the book I got really emotional and I started crying. – Salma Hayek • For the most part, studio movies have huge budgets. They don’t do anything under 30 to 40 million. When you have that much money at stake, you have so many people breathing down your neck. – Penelope Spheeris • Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later and then you listen to the movie. And it sort of plays in your mind like a film, like a first rough cut of a movie. – Al Pacino • Give me B movies or give me death! – Clive Barker • Good movies make you care, make you believe in possibilities again. – Pauline Kael • great villains make great movies. – Staton Rabin • Hollywood’s old trick: repeat a successful formula until it dies. – Gloria Swanson • ‘Home Alone’ was a movie, not an alibi. – Jerry Orbach • I always feel like I can’t do it, that I can’t go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all. – Meryl Streep • I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead. – Michael Caine • I can direct breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I take pride in my kitchen, but I’m not going to direct a movie. – Julia Roberts • I don’t have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don’t know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don’t know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don’t think you need all that stuff. – Anthony Hopkins • I don’t know what your childhood was like, but we didn’t have much money. We’d go to a movie on a Saturday night, then on Wednesday night my parents would walk us over to the library. It was such a big deal, to go in and get my own book. – Robert Redford • I don’t think London has been given enough credit in a lot of the movies that we make here. – Mel Smith • I don’t think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman, not a movie. You can’t kiss a movie. – Jean-Luc Godard • I don’t want to make movies for kids, and I don’t want to make movies for adults either. – Kristen Stewart • I encourage film students who are interested in cinematography to study sculpture, paintings, music, writing and other arts. Filmmaking consists of all the arts combined. Students are always asking me for advice, and I tell them that they have to be enthusiastic, because it’s hard work. The only way to enjoy it is to be totally immersed. If you don’t get involved on that level, it could be a very miserable job. I only have one regret about my career: I’m sorry that we are not making silent movies any more. That is the purest art form I can imagine. – Vilmos Zsigmond • I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play – not a movie. – Kim Cattrall • I get that same queasy, nervous, thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That’s never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad’s 8-millimeter movie camera. – Steven Spielberg • I have never acted he has never been cast in a romantic lead or has been cast opposite a female love interest in any movie he starred in. – Morgan Freeman • I haven’t sold to the movies. In other words, I haven’t gotten any enormous checks yet. – Jack Vance • I like celluloid, I like film, I like the way that when a movie is projected it sort of breathes a little in the gate. That’s the magic of it to me. – Gary Oldman • I love Elmore Leonard. To me, True Romance is basically like an Elmore Leonard movie. – Quentin Tarantino • I love the grandiosity of Hollywood movies, and even in independents, I love the canvas you can tell your story on. I love fiction filmmaking, you really feel like you’re creating something. – George Hickenlooper • I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them – the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world. – Sharon Stone • I loved the movies and I wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe. I thought she was so glamorous and everyone seemed to love her. I wanted to be like that and I told everyone I would be the next Marilyn Monroe. – Sharon Stone • I make movies I want to see. – Neil LaBute • I never thought about becoming a professional singer, but I am in touch with Bono about releasing a musical movie. It will be about an Irish band during the ’70s who are looking for fortune in Las Vegas. I should play the singer of the band but I don’t want to sing in front of anybody. – Liam Neeson • I never want to be away from you again, except at work, in the restroom or when one of us is at a movie the other does not want to see. – Daniel Handler • I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies. – Julia Roberts • I want to make a good, solid kung fu movie. – Keanu Reeves • I was never a fanatical movie person. – John Malkovich • I wasn’t trying to top Pulp Fiction with Jackie Brown. I wanted to go underneath it and make a more modest character study movie. – Quentin Tarantino • I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction. – Neil LaBute • I would say the film world has stopped operating as one. We have divided it into Hindi movies, Bengali movies, Tamil movies and so on. Earlier, there was only one channel and we all knew what was going on. Today, it is hard to keep track of programmes due to the advent of regional channels. – Mithun Chakraborty • If movies are causing moral decay, then crime ought to be going up, but crime is going down. – Jack Valenti • If somebody for some reason, for music or for movie, becomes famous, it’s because they have something, something special. – Roberto Cavalli • If you don’t like my movies, don’t watch them. – Dario Argento • If you have a friend who suffers, you have to help him.«My dear friend, you are on safe ground. Everything is okay now. Why do you continue to suffer? Don’t go back to the past. It’s only a ghost; it’s unreal». And whenever we recognize that these are only movies and pictures, not reality, we are free. That is the practice of mindfulness. – Nhat Hanh • If you’re a movie actor, you’re on your own – you cannot control the stage. The director controls it. – Michael Caine • I’m doing ‘Les Miserables,’ the movie. I’ve done a lot of musicals and a lot of movies, and I know there are not a lot of people in Hollywood who have been down those two paths so I’ve been like, ‘Come on, let’s do a movie/musical.’ – Hugh Jackman • I’m interested in doing movies I wouldn’t normally be interested in doing. – Eric Stoltz • I’m mad, true. But only about one thing. Horror movies. I love spooks. They are a friendly fearsome lot. Very nice people, actually, if you get to know them. Not like these industry chaps out here – Kishore Kumar • I’m not a real movie star. I’ve still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago. – Will Rogers • I’m not saying I’m a writer, but I’ve been in movies for a long time, and I think I could write a script for a movie. – Benicio Del Toro • I’m not surprised that Spielberg was able to capture the heroism of Schindler; so many of his movies are about the better part of mankind. – Gene Siskel • I’m terrible at horror movies, by the way. I get scared so easily. – Oliver Stone • In every movie I do have a dialogue. – Jackie Chan • In the movies Paris is designed as a backdrop for only three things–love, fashion shows, and revolution. – Jeanine Basinger • It (his contract) has options through the year 2020 or until the last Rocky movie is made. – Dan Quisenberry • It is not as mirrors reflect us but, rather, as our dreams do, that movies most truly reveal the times. If the dreams we have been dreaming provide a sad picture of us, it should be remembered that – like that first book of Dante’s Comedy – they show forth only one region of the psyche. Through them we can read with a peculiar accuracy the fears and confusions that assail us – we can read, in caricature, the Hell in which we are bound. But we cannot read the best hopes of the time. – Barbara Deming • It’s just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics – characters and great writing. – Clive Owen • It’s something that was very interesting to me to be a part of and all of them again because of the relationship. Some of the superhero movies are better than others. – Blair Underwood • I’ve always found that when you’re trying to create illusions with sound, especially in a science fiction or fantasy movie, that pulling sounds from the world around us is a great way to cement that illusion because you can go out and record an elevator in George Lucas’s house or something, and it will have that motor sound. – Ben Burtt • I’ve always wanted to do a family movie. – Adam Sandler • I’ve always wanted two lives – one for the movies, one for myself. – Greta Garbo • I’ve got to see my movie to see how I’m acting, see what little things I can learn about my craft. – LL Cool J • I’ve had to make the transition from sweeping in for 15 minutes, doing my stuff and clearing out, to carrying a movie for the duration – in a dress. – Philip Seymour Hoffman • I’ve seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry. – Jackie Chan • Keep your eye on your inner world and keep away from ads, idiots and movie stars. – Dorothea Tanning • License to Kill’ is not one of the great Bond movies. – Benicio Del Toro • Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It’s part ballet. It’s part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage. – Steve Sabol • Many times when you make a movie, it feels like your biggest mistake. But even if a film isn’t a hit, you shouldn’t view it as a mistake. – Ang Lee • Movie acting is about covering the machinery. Stage acting is about exposing the machinery. In cinema, you should think the actor is playing himself, if he’s that good. It looks very easy. It should. But it’s not, I assure you. – Michael Caine • Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied… That’s why they can keep on working. I’ve been able to work for so long because I think next time, I’ll make something good. – Akira Kurosawa • Movie failures are like the common cold. You can stay in bed and take aspirin for six days and recover. Or you can walk around and ignore it for six days and recover. – Gene Tierney • Movie SF is, by definition, dumbed down – there have only been three or four SF movies in the history of film that aspire to the complexity of literary SF. – Dan Simmons • Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts. – Yahoo Serious • Movies are the art form most like man’s imagination. – Francis Ford Coppola • Movies are very subjective. – Jeff Bridges • Movies both reflect and create social conditions, but their special charm is to offer fantasy clothes as virtual reality, a world where people consume without the tedium of labor. Characters float in a world where the bill never comes due … and we wonder why we’re a debtor nation! – Molly Haskell • Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood. – Walt Disney • movies have mirrored our moods and myths since the century began. They have taken on some of the work of religion. – Jennifer Stone • Movies have now reached the same stage as sex – it’s all technique and no feeling. – Penelope Gilliatt • Movies make you immortal and ageless. – Kristin Scott Thomas • Music is the soundtrack to the crappy movie that is my life. – Chris Rock • My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it’s incredibly romantic. – Christina Ricci • My goal has been to learn how to get movies made without losing sight of the reasons I began. I have had to learn to recognize the insidious nature of the beast without becoming one. – Lynda Obst • My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave. – Burt Reynolds • Mystery makes movie stars! If you see someone on the cover of the weeklies all the time, why would you want to pay to see them in a movie? – Sophia Bush • No saint, no pope, no general, no sultan, has ever had the power that a filmmaker has; the power to talk to hundreds of millions of people for two hours in the dark. – Frank Capra • oh mothers you will have made the little tykes so happy because if nobody does pick them up in the movies they won’t know the difference and if somebody does it’ll be sheer gravy – Frank O’Hara • On planes I always cry. Something about altitude, the lack of oxygen and the bad movies. I cried over a St. Bernard movie once on a plane. That was really embarrassing. – Michael Stipe • One cannot overstate the potential for hysteria on a movie set. Everyone always acts as if making the movie is as important as eradicating malaria. – Delia Ephron • One of the things we learn in movies directed by men is what the ‘fantasy woman’ is. What we learn in movies directed by women is what real women are about. I don’t think that men see things wrong and women right, just that we do see things differently. – Jane Campion • People go to movies or listen to music because they want to be inspired. – Daphne Zuniga • People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it’s interesting. It’s like picking who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie. – Amanda Bynes • People have perhaps gotten to the point where for the most part movies are a just bit of escape. – Neil LaBute • Quite often – a lot of the work I had done had been extensively with women. Most especially in the theater, but also quite often in the movies. That has its own delights, and maybe pitfalls too. – John Malkovich • Really, it’s the director’s job to disappear and allow the movie to just feel. – Jason Reitman • Revealing yourself, physically or emotionally, to cast and crew is frequently uncomfortable. But it is essential if you want to to tell the truth. I felt more at ease being bold with some than I did with others. I was incredibly fortunate to have worked with Randy Harrison as Justin Taylor. We share enough taste in music and art to have had a real camaraderie, and luckily that evolved into a deep friendship. – Gale Harold • So yes, I hope to act in other people’s movies, big and small, because that’s how I make my living, really. – Stanley Tucci • So, I installed a CCTV system to tape what’s going on inside my mind.

Thousands of hours of drama, confusion, discussion, huge special effects and futuristic scenarios. Also a lot of chatter, drama and suspense.

I don’t go to the premiere. – Henry Rollins • Whether in success or in failure, I’m proud of every single movie I’ve ever directed. – Steven Spielberg • White people scare the crap out of me.
