Whereas 'Avatar' and other movies get shocks out of their three-dimensionality, 'Gatsby' is going to be about inviting the audience into this larger-than-life drama, letting them almost be inside the room rather than looking at it through the window. I think it will really work.

Richard Rorty

Ah! there is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.

Jane Austen

I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. I'd love to do a box-office hit.

Stephen King

But I think you can make fun of anything as long as it's funny enough.

Francis H. Bradley

All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film, I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am, to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.

Keira Knightley
