A movie set is like a petri dish for neuroses, you know? It's just, like, egos and weird personalities and, more than anything, fear.
One of the reasons so many kids bought 'Famous Monsters' was that it gave them ability to order 8mm and Super-8 versions of their favorite monster movies.
I wasn't a kid who moved out from Iowa with aspirations of becoming a famous star - I was intrigued by the idea of filmmaking and by the idea of what it would be like to play a character in a movie.
I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.
Biblical movies need not sermonize, just be honest to the foundational story. As powerful as the message is for people of faith, it's really great storytelling.
There will always be big companies making big movies. But making film and distribution is changing in front of our eyes. I'm not sure what the future holds for this industry.
In addition, I'm finishing a track for the movie 'Waking Up In Reno', but there are numerous other singers I look forward to recording with in the near future.
It was funny to run into girls I knew after the movie came out because they would say, 'I saw you on 'Magic Mike,' but there was this look of embarrassment. It was very cute.
It's funny because all through the '80s I didn't do TV and movies very much. I prided myself that I was making a living in the theater.
For some reason and I don't know why, but I don't think that I'm funny in California. So I always want to do my movies east somewhere.
I don't like comedy. I like funny things. I don't like comedy. Like, comedy movies are just, 'Oh Jesus.'
Everybody in the South loves the one closeted homosexual who's married. It's just too funny to not have in a movie about the South. It's an epidemic. You gotta represent!
Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.
People sometimes say the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal.
I've kissed just three people in my life, other than stuff that I've done for TV or movies. I know - I'm weird!
Of all the movies I've done in my life, the one where I play a crazy awful psycho woman finds me my husband.
The first movie I did was 'Dan in Real Life,' which was directed by Peter Hedges, the same director who did 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.'
My belief is that no movie, nothing in life, leaves people neutral. You either leave them up or you leave them down.
Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.
Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.
I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner.
