Right now, my job is that I'm like an ambulance chaser. I've got to look for movies with white guys falling out of them.
People over 30 are interested in sex too, but they get real movies about it.
I don't take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache.
I love being in these ensemble comedy movies. I love working with a bunch of people and coming up with, you know, How can we make this moment funnier?
Sci-fi works for me as a way of getting across a social conceit couched as entertainment. Social realist movies lost their way because they are just not that entertaining.
I love Westerns. I really love John Wayne. Frank Capra, any of his movies I love.
I watched movies and thought, 'I want to be in movies,' and wanted to be an actor.
My favorite English teacher in high school showed me 'Brazil' when I was 15, and it blew my mind. It's one of those movies that's revealed itself in different ways as I've gone back to it over the years.
I think movies glamorize violence, in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny.
When the music and the characters are flawlessly synchronized, the opera develops an emotional force that movies and plays cannot match.
Whether or not we communicate it, I definitely seek my mom's acceptance and approval for everything. She has a strong commercial sense of movies and is a quintessential audience. When she doesn't like something, I know there is reason to worry. When she loves something, there is reason to celebrate.
All movies assault the viewer in one way or another.
I remember the Bond movies when I was a child. They were silent then.
I was doing about five movies a year for many years. I was just so tired. I walked around feeling like a Mack truck hit me.
Film composers are the most prolific music makers on this planet, and most of us are, like, losing our minds if we're doing five or more movies in a year.
Cancer taught me to stop saving things for a special occasion. Every day is special. You don't have to get cancer to start living life to the fullest. My post-cancer philosophy? No wasted time. No ugly clothes. No boring movies.
I really wanted to go onstage. Not movies. But I ended up under contract to Paramount. Now I adore film work.
I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants.
I'm a huge James Bond fan and watched the movies growing up.
I enjoy being an actor in my own movies.
I'm not too proud of the movies I made as a grownup except for 'That Hagen Girl', which nobody remembers but which gave me a chance to act.
What I can't figure out is why we're not making more R-rated movies, actually.
I never go overbudget on my movies.
Hopefully, 'Inside Out' will have the longevity that those older movies have, and many years down the line, people will be able to watch it and find some kinship with it.
The way I look at it, movies are a different medium for storytelling than books.
I am lucky that the Western world chooses me to play roles in their movies an television, whatever language it may be.
Like every actress, I, too, had movies that got stuck, but I have learnt to always look at the best in every situation and to give my best to every situation.
The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?
The good guys in my movies mind their own business, and they don't judge other people. And the bad guys are jealous; they judge other people without knowing the whole story. They want all the attention, and they're mean spirited.
Personally, I'm a big reader, and I've never wanted any of my favorite novels to be made into movies.
Plays close, movies wrap and TV series eventually get cancelled, and we were cancelled in three season.
I'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies.
I was supposed to go to drama school and then go to New York and do theatre. But I grew up on all those fabulous movies and had read all the bold Hollywood books, and I thought I just had to take a look.
I always loved samurai movies, and I wanted to incorporate that whole level of elegance and just the code of the samurai to 'Conan.'
I loved cowboy movies when I was a kid. When I was five years old, I was already wearing a cowboy hat and suit. When I grew up, I knew John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Kirk Douglas and so on.
In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
