The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Edward Burns
- Actors are con men and con men are actors.
- Quite honestly, it’s too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.
- Newlyweds shooting budget: 5k for actors, 2k insurance, 2k food and drink. 9k in the can. We only shot 12 days. That’s how to make an independent film.
- I spent four months in Prague in these blue rooms reacting to nothing and you basically place your faith in the hands of the director and the special effects co-coordinator and you keep your fingers crossed and hope that the creatures look really scary.
- Look: You’re not gonna become a millionaire doing this, but that was never the point. And I think a lot of people in the indie film business kind of took their eye off of that.
- I suffer from Irish-Catholic guilt. Guilt is a good reality check. It keeps that ‘do what makes you happy’ thing in check.
- When I was 25 years old and had no money – and didn’t know how to make movies and had no experience – I was able to get $25,000 together, and that film was ‘The Brothers McMullen.’
- I’m betting that in two years I’ll be talking to you about a film that I shot on an iPhone. It’s absolutely coming, I have no doubt in my mind.
- So you got the cool New Yorkers, and then there are the less-than-cool New Yorkers.
- I’m always aware of who my core audiences are and I serve that niche.
