Johann Johannsson Quotes

I don't make movies because I love to act. I make movies because I like to make movies, and I like to be a part of that process.

Filmmaking is such a collaborative medium.

I love the process of working with a filmmaker and the writers and the actors.

Making a film - particularly what I think is a good film - is the result of a team of people, and the end result has many, many hands on it.

As a filmmaker, I'm a collaborator first.

Filmmaking as a process, it's bittersweet.

The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.

Very often, things that people may think come from the writer, very often don't. There's a lot of cooks in the kitchen when it comes to making a movie. When you hear a line of dialogue that sounds kind of tinny, it's pretty easy to cite the screenwriter. But there's a lot of stuff that goes into making a movie.

Movies are weird; it's like trying to make a painting with one hundred people. It's a weird world, but every job is weird; it's always a little bit hard, crazy and fun, a nice combination.

I guess I feel like it's a gift to meet those talented artists like George Lucas and Oliver Stone, Spike Lee and Richard Kelly. Even if it's a small role, it's a gift to be working that closely with them.

I love the art of filmmaking very much in all aspects.

I just want to make movies. I really love movies. I want to be involved with them.

Television and film acting is really fun because you are working with other people and you are not completely responsible for the outcome of the project.
