"And in movies you must be a gambler. To produce films is to gamble." ― Douglas Sirk Topic(s): Movies More From Douglas Sirk "There arose a belief in style – and in banality. Banality encompassed politics, too, because it was a common belief that politics were not worthy of art." "In the 19th century, you had bourgeois art without politics – an almost frozen idea of what beauty is." "I was making films about American society, and it is true that I never felt at home there, except perhaps when my wife and I lived on a farm in the San Fernando Valley." More In Movies "The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army."― Elvis Presley "Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, but in the way that the shots are edited – that has music and rhythm and time."― Frank Ocean "Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded, but it’s not like it’s a bible."― Javier Bardem
