As actors, the thing we have to fight, more than even the business part of making movies, is boredom.
I produced six movies with Amy Robinson since the very early '80s.
Commercial movies have to end with moral flags flown again and all that.
No, 'F/X 2' was a job. I enjoyed doing it but that was definitely a job. I wrote that, I didn't direct it but 'Candyman' and the earlier horror movies I made, I was completely into horror and suspense and always have been. It's informed everything I've done, even the way scenes are shot in 'Kinsey and 'Gods and Monsters.'
I've always been fascinated by Baretta and Donny Brasco, and other undercover cops in movies.
It's always been my dream to just continually do really cool indie movies, character-driven stuff. I would love to do more theater on a larger scale. I'm just excited for the next thing that comes along that I'm salivating over. I think a little more guerrilla would be really exciting to me.
Movie-making is serious business. The director and the crew are already under a lot of pressure to give their best to the audience. Therefore, the best part for me as an actor is to act well in the movies and make a jolly atmosphere with the co-stars on the sets.
Some horror movies are just for shock value, so it doesn't really feel scary.
I still haven't quite caught on to the idea of writing without dialogue. I like writing dialogue, and there's nothing wrong with dialogue in movies.
I love crying at romantic movies like 'The Notebook.' I'm always bawling.
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 passed up a lot of work 'cause a lot of movies that may be out there right now I passed em up because there may have been a lot of cussin' in 'em.
We are so aware of how silly our movies are as we're making them.
I secretly enjoy being alone - hiking alone, skiing alone, walking along the beach alone, going to movies alone. Do not get me wrong, I like sharing my life with other people, but sometimes I really enjoy being as alone as possible.
I miss my Dad. My Dad loved cheesy monster movies, so we'd have Godzilla movie marathons. Those are some of my favorite memories, laughing at how the monster outfits were so bad, like black garbage bags for heads.
I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.
I'm always frightened away by movies that lower the bar on our endeavor to learn more about the crazy weird creatures that we are.
Yes was a band where we could explore some of those ideas, but I knew that if I wanted to get into orchestral music and make a living at it, movies seemed to be a perfect spot.
It's kind of true that they just start making the same movie over and over again. It's also true that the times dictate what kind of movies get made and what kind are not. So I'm always looking for something that's a little fresh and something that I haven't seen before.
Thirty-five percent of all my dates were at the movies from 2013 to 2014.
I think my sensibility is very literary; all my books were built as books, and I wasn't thinking about them being movies.
Movies are great, TV is great.
I don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.
Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film.
You don't go to the movies to do historical research, unless it's historical research about the movies.
People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
I'm looking for little movies that are good instead of picking scripts in pursuit of superstardom.
Hollywood is a roulette wheel. Each project dictates what's going to happen for you next, and it doesn't really matter that your project is critically acclaimed or won awards or has fans worldwide. It's a matter of how many movie tickets and DVDs and on-demand movies that you sell.
I make two movies a year to take care of the butcher and the baker and the school fees. Then I try to write, but it's not that easy. Acting is what's easy.
I have been in a lot of movies, but none of them are critics' darlings, you might say.
Everything I learned I learned from the movies.
It is so unexpected, it goes beyond my wildest dreams. Sometimes I just sit back and think. 'Oh my God, I'm in the movies!' It still hasn't sunk in.
Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters.
I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.
I watch action movies, and you don't remember when Jason Statham does a kick or punch. It's character trait stuff you remember.
I make little movies, you know, they need all the help that they can get.
