Well, I have no problem with 3-D but I don't think it's necessarily a blanket requirement for every film.
I do a film if it interests me, has a connect with the audience and some entertainment value. The rest doesn't matter.
At HBO, they seem to be well-informed. They make what I think are really quite mature films.
I feel the film companies should pay for proper advertising to see that the movie will sell, instead of putting it on our backs.
But in fact if you look at film as a metaphor, only through the negative can you have the positive print. What I'm trying to get to is the positive value of negation.
Well, whether it's on film or on TV, you don't want to throw too many curves at your audio and video guys.
Most of my films seem to be about people bewildered by the world around them, who don't fit into it and are trying to understand it.
House was the first film where I had no influence on the script. I had to buy the script with the game rights.
Are Christians too stupid that we can't write a script, we can't film a movie OR we don't know how to act?
I have a preference for film just because of the familiarity. It's what I know, and I sort of have nostalgia for it.
There is a disconnect between the film Bond and the literary Bond which is their contemporaneity. I don't suffer from that.
The film is the first art form capable of demonstrating how matter plays tricks on man.
Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people's hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted.
'The Waterdance' was made for all the right reasons. Everybody that was involved in the film gave it their all.
'Extreme Prejudice' is the last of the Mohicans. I don't think we'll ever see a film made like that again.
I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie.
Why go to Antarctica, why do a film like 'Grizzly Man'? It's the sheer joy of storytelling - it's the urge.
This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film.
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
All the jokes in my films, the comedy, they're not me, I just try to hold a big mirror up to us.
Can you imagine what it would be like if all the Aussie film talent was able to make Australian stories?
