I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.
Movies are in a much longer production conversation before an actor is even involved. I always thought of actors as the last piece of the puzzle - so you're a tool.
Who said that being Latino is to be a stereotype? Characters are stereotypes when making plans or without shades. I do not believe in the picture or model established in the movies.
Some disaster movies look like you're watching someone else play video games. They're fun but it's not real.
I don't want to see the zipper in the back of the monster suit. Like everybody else who goes to the movies, I want to believe the monster is real.
Because I was a champion swimmer in Canada, they're always trying to get me in the water in movies! I've drawn the line now with this film. No more water!
I don't think movies can ever be too intense, but people have to understand why you're showing them the things you are showing them.
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies, I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget.
Horror is so often a 'thinkless' genre, sort of considered popcorn movies, but you really put a lot of, not just heart and soul, but a lot of physical energy into it.
I've always been a follower of silent movies. I see film as a visual medium with a musical accompaniment, and dialogue is a raft that goes on with it.
My husband and I are writers, and I wish I could write faster. There are not a lot of movies made with black actors in mind.
I do have friends who make movies, but for the most part, I never really wanted to feel like I was part of an industry.
I'm not a video brat. I don't derive all my inspiration through movies. I get it from a lot of other places, too.
I never really feel wrong while making movies. I know myself, and I know that my intentions are pure and I'm on the side of righteousness.
When I started to watch some of the films I'd done, I realized I was doing movies that I might not actually want to see.
I hate dream sequences in movies and T.V. shows generally for their heavy-handed symbolism and storytelling tediousness.
I'm always happy when I hear about people selling records or selling books or selling movies. It makes me proud of them.
I think you'd have to literally live in a cave to not know anything about 'Twilight'. I've seen a few of the movies, but I haven't read the books.
I'm very particular about the kind of music that I record and sing, and it would be the same way about the kind of movies that I would do.
My dream was to have my own advertising agency by the time I was 30, and that was before I got into movies.
