The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Jeffrey Jones

- Certainly Amadeus because it was a very powerful time for me, we filmed it in the Czech Republic at a time of lots of social and political change going on in that part of the world.
- I only know from my own personal experience, and I personally feel that there’s a cyclical nature to things, so you don’t want to start making generalizations about how bad things have become in comparison to the old days.
- But it’s true, it’s nothing new that decisions about what movies are to be made, and how they’re to be made, and who’s to be hired to do what, and whether you hire somebody to do their job, or whether you hire somebody to fill a position and you tell them what to do.
- I got a phone call from Douglas Campbell and from Jerome Guthrie, who offered me a job out of the blue.
- I think the same way about theatre, you go out there and you are creating a world for a moment that can actually have a real impact on people, present some kind of story that gives you something to think about when you walk away, feeling enriched – if it works out well.
- My job is to help the functioning of the story, not to draw attention to myself, but to make my characters function within the story, to work for the benefit of the story, to make the whole thing work.
- And from my character’s point-of-view in Ravenous, he had been collected by Robert Carlyle’s character, he had become infected by this ravenous, cannibalistic power, and he was making the best of it.
- A lot of the reasons why something is a favorite thing are all things you don’t necessarily see, the place, the people, the time, where you are, what it meant to you at the time.
- I know a lot of people who are very good at their craft who have learned – people behind the camera – who really have a lot to offer because they know what they’re doing, they know what to do, they’ve made their mistakes.
