I'm not a big fan of there being voiceovers in movies. I really prefer it when the film tells it story.
I've always worked with a team of actors and filmmakers ever since I was a kid in Michigan making Super-8 movies.
I have not grown up on movies. I didn't watch much films in my childhood, but I was fond of animation films.
I happen to like movies and plays about dislikeable people as long as I get to know why they are what they are.
When I felt like an outsider, movies made me feel inside my own skill set.
I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.
I was always enamored with TV shows and movies. But you didn't grow up in my town and turn into an actor.
I've made 122 movies, and I daresay there's a picture of mine showing somewhere in the world every day.
I'm looked upon as a theater actor who happened to know martial arts before I got into the movies.
A song like 'Osito Carpintero' came straight from the Pedro Infante films, movies that all the kids in Mexico watched.
One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake.
I have a few friends that have inspired me since I was a young kid. When I watch old films or modern movies - particularly 'Gladiator,' 'New Jack City' and 'The Skin I Live In' - I'll also get ideas.
I want a lot of people to see my movies. More black people. More white people. I want to make that connection.
I play tough guys in movies and behaved like one in front of the press because I thought that was what a man did.
I was always attracted to science fiction movies.
We work very cost effective and I sell my movies in 100 territories on my own.
My goal is just to make movies, whether they're big or small, that I'd like to see 10 years from now.
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
I'm fighting the label of 'Black' actress simply because it's very limiting in people's eyes, especially people who are making movies.
I'm not a real movie star. I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.
If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.
