I think the reason vampire movies have been so popular over time is that they share so many parallels with human beings.
Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I'm not always happy with that.
I missed out on everything. Sometimes on the street I see teenagers hanging out and going to the movies, going to concerts, and I get so jealous.
I definitely want to study film. I'd like to have my own studio one day and just make a lot of movies.
Television and movies have short-circuited reality. I don't think a lot of people are entirely clear on what is real and what is on the screen.
With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.
Some of the roles that are challenging are more in theater and TV. In movies, there's a tendency to cast actors in roles that have been successful for them. It has to pay for itself.
When I was doing comedy in New York, before I was in movies, I was never known as the deadpan actress. I was just a comedienne.
I feel like I prefer movies, but, at the same time, theater is so exciting when you're doing it. It's a harder job doing theater.
At that time, people wanted to be frightened. The Thing had come out, The Day the Earth Stood Still had come out, and these were all frightening movies.
When I finally got up to Industrial Light And Magic to work on the 'Star Wars' movies as a model-maker, it felt like dying and going to heaven.
The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.
The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made - and that's a tricky balance.
Bad movies are when people go, 'oh, I wasted $10 bucks and 2 hours and I don't even want to go back again.'
I don't see my movies. I think it's healthier and safer to keep a bit of distance. I'm afraid to be disappointed.
Sometimes I think that I understand my movies after I make them. Really. I go very often off of instinct.
I don't go see big, silly movies. I like small things about regular folks, you know?
I can't just sit around and do nothing. Although, I can sit on the couch sometimes and just watch movies.
The whole thing with animated movies is that it's very hard to get out of your head because it's very moving through each line systematically.
I've never made any horrible, horrible movies. If you don't ruin your reputation, you can always get work.
Mostly in movies an actor has to come to a mark, an X, and deliver his line - but that's so artificial, that's not how people really behave.
