“I think it's better to be involved in one or two movies a year.”

“All movies aren't fun some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.”

“I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I'm a movie buff.”

“There are a lot of movies I've done that come and go, and don't really establish a growing fan base.”

“Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.”

“Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.”

“I write plays and movies, I live and work at the borderline between word and image just as any cartoonist or illustrator does. I'm not a pure writer. I use words as the score for kinetic imagistic representations.”

“I've had nine of my books adapted to film, and almost all were enjoyable. I've been very lucky with Hollywood, and look forward to more movies being adapted. But I don't get involved in that process. I know nothing about making movies and I stay away from it and hope for the best.”

“I don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.”

“I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.”

“I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It's wonderful, isn't it?”

“Steven Spielberg is unique. I feel that the kinds of movies he loves are the same kinds of movies that the big mass audience loves. He's very fortunate because he can do the things he naturally likes the best, and he's been very successful.”

“I've never held myself up particularly high when I had movies that worked, and I never held myself all that low when I had failures.”

“I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.”

“My fans mean everything to me - especially the sisters! When you're on 'The View' or you're doing movies and stuff, you're a little bit insulated. It means so much to me when a woman comes up to me and says, 'Sherri, you said what I feel.' That just means so much to me to know that I have that support.”

“Movies make you immortal and ageless.”

“I went to film school and wanted to learn everything there was about making movies.”

“I worked very hard on those movies but there was some creative connection that wasn't being made.”

“Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.”

“There really are three types of 'religious' movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.”
