This collection holds 16 independent movies quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Lenny Abrahamson, Teresa Ruiz and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.

Most of my work has been independent movies outside the mainstream system.

As a young actress, I started out acting in beautiful independent movies in Mexico.

Based on the name value I had, I went to L.A. and got involved in independent movies.

You really don't get paid in these independent movies, no matter how many people see them.

I think you do independent movies because you're looking to cut away from commercial movies.

Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.

I like independent movies, documentaries. There's not a lot of movies that are commercially made that I dig.

Amazon may be the only studio that's run by people who come out of making independent movies, real hands-on moviemaking.

Yes, I want to do good work. But just because a movie is small, it doesn't make it better. In fact, there are a lot of really horrible independent movies made.

Online content is the new game in the field of entertainment. Web series, short films, independent movies. This new medium has been a boon to both the makers and its viewers.

Sometimes the independent movies can get a little too arty-farty. You watch the IFC Channel and you want to throw up. You don't always have to take things so serious, you know.

In television, you make an hour-long episode every seven days; we used to make 'Party Down' in four days per episode. It's quick and with independent movies is the same: you gotta keep moving. It's very similar.

I've been sort of spoiled on the TV end because HBO feels like a small institution making independent movies. There's respect for the director's contribution in a way that mainstream television doesn't really reflect, I don't think.

For me, to do a reality show is like sending myself to actor's graveyard. I feel like I should wait and create my own projects... do independent movies before I would have to go and do reality shows. Or produce one and come up with one on my own!

Persistence is half the battle. That's what I love about independent movies. They don't have to be made. There's no studio with an agenda to set up a franchise like 'Batman' or to make a vehicle for a celebrity actor. My films are made because I love the process.

For whatever reason, I think we have one type of animated movie and it's so wrong. I want to do a drama, I want to do an action, a comedy. In live-action, there are all sorts of movies. There's independent movies, big movies, action movies, funny movies, and for us we have one movie.
