My grandfather was a movie producer, and so I grew up on movie sets.
My entire generation has grown up in the shadow of one movie: 'Star Wars.'
It's easy to be a movie star. The shoes are already there. They just put you in the shoes.
I'm loving saying 'I'm not a big movie star, but I play one on television.'
A lot of times when people are on campaigns, it can be like a movie set.
I look at the Christian Bale movies, the 'Batman' films, and that shows you that superhero movies don't just have to be about men in tights.
Mystery makes movie stars! If you see someone on the cover of the weeklies all the time, why would you want to pay to see them in a movie?
The truth is, ever since I was little, I've wanted to be an actor more than I ever wanted to be a movie star.
It's hard to get movie studios to pay a lot of money for movies that don't have robots or explosions.
The issue often with films is how it works with money and trying to get a visible movie star presence in the film.
Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money.
Just selling through a movie theater is not ever going to be a viable way to make money back on a movie anymore.
'Jaws' was the ultimate man vs. nature movie, and it was a movie that was basically three people against the elements, so that was the biggest influence on 'Frozen.'
I want to do a movie on sports - like a movie on a racer or a marathon runner - as I feel I'll fit that bill perfectly.
My very first acting gig was in a movie for Russ Parr. He did this movie called 'Love for Sale,' and that was my first role in any film.
It was Britney's movie. I liked that movie. It didn't get too much love, but a lot of people really liked it.
I start with the music before I start writing the movie. It's such an important part for me, emotionally, to set up the tone for the movie.
I've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral, it didn't take off.
I like Hollywood movies. I like them like I like to eat scrambled eggs; I like them for fun.
I'm not saying I'm a writer, but I've been in movies for a long time, and I think I could write a script for a movie.
It's so tough to get movies made in Ireland anymore. A whole generation of Irish filmmakers doesn't have the resources to get a movie made.
