It took me a long time to realize that you have to have a bit of an interlanguage with actors. You have to give them something that they can act with. - James Cameron
I've tried not to get sucked into the Hollywood hierarchy system. Personally, I don't like it when people are deferential to me because I'm an established filmmaker. It's a blue-collar sensibility. - James Cameron
Storytelling is storytelling. You still play by the same narrative rules. The technology is completely different. I don't use one piece of technology that I used when I started directing. - James Cameron
Targets and timetables do matter. But there is a dispirited feeling that the U.S. just rejects multilateral target-setting for the time being. - James Cameron
The film industry is about saying 'no' to people, and inherently you cannot take 'no' for an answer. - James Cameron
The Jacques Cousteau shows actually got me very excited about the fact that there's an alien world here on Earth. - James Cameron
The magic doesn't come from within the director's mind, it comes from within the hearts of the actors. - James Cameron
Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Before, being a model, it was just a job, and I was making fun of it. But today, I take my career more seriously. The fact that a reader may buy an Armani item because she'd seen it on me in a magazine is very important to me. So much so that I intend to launch my own label. - Milla Jovovich
I felt violated after certain scenes in the movie [Stone]. She [Lucetta] is a tough character. The choices she makes, especially her sexual choices... it was hard for me to put myself out there like that. - Milla Jovovich
I love making independent movies, and that's pretty much what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my years. - Milla Jovovich
I really want my agent to make sure they write a part in the next Airbender movie for me. I'll be really upset if I don't get to be a waterbender or something. - Milla Jovovich
I was in acting classes from the age of 9, dance classes, music classes - my mom put a lot of energy and attention into me, so no matter what happened in my life, I always had this basis of discipline. So I really worked hard for everything I had from a very early age. - Milla Jovovich
It was hard not to feel violated [in Stone movie], 'cause I have to go home after walking in these shoes all day. It plays a number on your head. Some days I came home and was really upset; it was hard to see the baby [Jovovich's 2-year-old daughter]. - Milla Jovovich
I've never actually seen a 3-D movie. I've seen some dailies in 3-D and it kind of gives me a headache. But it looks really cool. - Milla Jovovich
Unfortunately, the small comedies I've done have hardly seen the light of day, which is kinda sad. Dirty Girl was a lot of fun, and I'm so glad it got picked up in Toronto. People really liked it! - Milla Jovovich
What attracted me to A Perfect Getaway was that I sorta played a girlfriend role for, you know, 85 percent of the film. That was really interesting to me, because I'd never really played a girlfriend before. - Milla Jovovich
When I did The Fifth Element [1997], it was like, "Oh my goodness, who is this character?" I loved doing Resident Evil, but Resident Evil is Resident Evil with or without me. It's an entity of its own. It's not like Milla made Resident Evil. - Milla Jovovich
