Famous quotes containing the words films and, films and/or television:
“If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. Theres nothing behind it.”
—Andy Warhol (c. 19281987)
“Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to societys porous face.”
—Marjorie Rosen (b. 1942)
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
