Dominic Monaghan
But short films are not inferior, just different. I think the short gives a freedom to film-makers. What's appealing is that you don't have as much responsibility for storytelling and plot. They can be more like a portrait, or a poem.
Jane Campion
Intellectuals are too sentimental for me.
Margaret Anderson
I was thrilled one year when I was younger when not only did my brothers get hockey sticks for Christmas - but I did too!
Nancy Kerrigan
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.
