Famous quotes containing the words movies and/or series:
“It’s the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it. Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can’t see.”
—Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
“Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
