More quotes by Doug Liman
It's much easier to do a fight sequence between two people, if one of the two people in the fight is a stunt person, or you're going to risk somebody getting hurt.
Doug Liman
The thing about TV is it's a meritocracy. I love that aspect of it - and I've had shows that have gone on the air and been canceled. I've seen the good and the bad of it.
Doug Liman
I think when the United States of America put a man on the moon in 1969, that was one of the greatest accomplishments mankind has ever done.
Doug Liman
The movie I end up with is the movie I aspired to make.
Doug Liman
In movies, you can basically buy the audience into the theater. If you spend enough money on visual effects, even if you are lacking in story and character, you might still pull it off.
Doug Liman
I probably shouldn't treat interviews as therapy sessions, but I don't keep a diary, so these end up being my way of keeping track of where I'm at and letting it all out.
Doug Liman
It's almost a work-shopping process to create the characters with the actors.
Doug Liman
From a production point of view, I still have one foot firmly planted in the independent film world, and much of the shooting on 'Jumper' was done 'Swingers'-style because that was the only way we could afford to do it.
Doug Liman
I make movies for me and posterity. I'm more scared of history than I am of the studio.
Doug Liman
For big Hollywood movies, I'm on the more character-driven side of the equation. So, TV is a natural place for me to be because you've got no choice, but to be character-driven.
Doug Liman
In particular, I'm drawn to the stories that have big, high concepts and real characters at their heart. And I love where those two worlds meet, and 'Edge of Tomorrow' is the perfect canvas to explore that.
Doug Liman
TV has no choice, but to rely on character, and everybody knows that. I love working in it. It's such a big canvas where, if you're successful, you go on for years.
Doug Liman
It's better to find a stunt person who can act. It's easier to do that than to find an actor who can do a stunt.
Doug Liman
TV is a safe place to develop real characters.
Doug Liman
It's no secret that my process is a little bit loose and can be a little bit infuriating to a studio if they don't know what they're signing up for.
Doug Liman
There are actors who just bring an enormous amount of empathy. They just have thatit that makes you want to follow them and root for them.
Doug Liman
Obviously, anyone who has seen Mr. and Mrs. Smith knows that husband and wife married spies is something that I find particularly interesting.
Doug Liman
At the end of the day, I like the spy genre, as opposed to the action movie genre, because spies are smart. The successful spies are the smarter spies.
Doug Liman
If I'm not in love with the script, there's nothing. It doesn't matter what you give me. It has to start with the script.
Doug Liman
When you can come across a piece of material that's totally original and fun and completely satisfying, you jump on it.
