I watch and listen to movies today and am shocked by the way actors deliver their lines. Everybody mumbles now and I don't understand why.
There's always an imbalance with actors and actresses in the industry. And I think because there are just fewer movies overall being made, it's that trickle down effect.
I had fun doing a lot of low-budget movies and web series. And I got back into stand-up where I started.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
I watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.
I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.
When we do get a little time off, I tend to watch movies, go to dinners, and keep it low-key.
When I finished the trilogy of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, I had a gear shift and thought, 'I need to take a moment to smell the roses.'
As a young actor, I found myself in all these movies at once, with two big trilogies and a Cameron Crowe film and working with Ridley Scott a couple of times.
It's only in relatively recent years that Hollywood became the playground of multinational corporations which regard movies and TV shows as a minor irritant to their overall activity.
I'll be a flop in movies. Besides, I don't like 'em, and I never did believe there was a place called Hollywood. Somebody made it up!
They are always very lax about putting restrictions on violence for children's movies, which I think is much more harrowing than sexuality for children.
I don't like to go to the movies to see violence or some kind of spy thing with all kinds of information you have to assimilate to understand the plot.
Why movies are so powerful is because you are right in there and you stay in there until they want you to come out, and then you've really gone somewhere.
For very long, I wasn't able to find a place for myself in movies. After my initial success, I didn't know how to capitalise on it.
I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies.
Even when I was a little kid, I always said I would be in the movies one day, and damned if I didn't make it.
There is evil prowling in the world - it shows up in our movies, video games and online fascinations, and finds its way into vulnerable hearts and minds.
I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.
I've made movies that nobody saw initially, and then, all the sudden, people over the years pick up on it. Like 'Spinal Tap' and 'Princess Bride.'
When I can't sleep, I'll start thinking about how many shows I've done, count up the number of television shows and movies.
