Stand-up is like a movie every night. You write it, direct it, produce it, the audience votes, and you go home. There's nothing more satisfying.
My kids don't watch my movies. What I want to do is go home and hug my kids, talk to them and engage with them.
I tend to watch a lot of movies at home. It's nice to be close to the refrigerator with my pyjamas on and just relax.
I'll go to see movies, but I also love being at home on my couch and pausing every 10 minutes to pee.
I play the father in the scene when Will and Tommy go back to Tommy's old apartment. It was a big mistake. I hope not to be in the next movie I direct.
You may think it's very presumptuous, but I really hope that my movies are going to turn people into better people.
I hope always to be busy, even if only directing an orchestra in the pit. However, I should prefer to produce movies or be the directing head of a radio corporation.
So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.
I love making movies and hope to write my own screenplay someday and do some producing and be behind-the-scenes as well.
So I decided to move that scene in the doctor's office to two-thirds into the movie, after the viewers had come to know Ryan and Ali and share in their happiness.
My films are completely new. I am not similar to anybody in the history of movies.
Being an actor in movies is a lot about the power of your imagination and making the circumstance real to you so the audience will feel that it's real.
Doing a movie about computers between 1978 and 1982? You can't get much less sexy, less active than that.
The ought to be a worldwide cultural taskforce that just stops you when you have ideas like combining The Red Desert with an armored car heist movie.
I grew up with the classics. My mom and I would sit and watch 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'White Christmas' - those kind of movies.
Even when you're making a movie about life, death is a presence, and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly.
I dream crazy vivid dreams. Like, entire movies. And sometimes I write songs about them.
I love my early movies, but naturalism is an artist's early style. Now I want to deal with feelings, dreams, an acceptance of irrationality.
I can create clothes for so many different time periods. I've always tried to avoid being pigeonholed. Plus, everything I learn about design and costume from one movie somehow works its way into something else.
My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview - how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone.
For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.
