All my cousins are almost old enough to start seeing my movies. I'm going to have some 'splainin' to do.
I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it.
'Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that.
The day I make movies that Rupert Murdoch likes and admires is the day I'll throw in the towel, because he's got no taste.
I think the audience would like to see movies that are stunning to watch. I really think they'd like to see spectacles.
When I'm feeling a little empty in the head, I like to go see movies or read to loosen things up there.
Editing is where movies are made or broken. Many a film has been saved and many a film has been ruined in the editing room.
When I was about 10 or 11, I realised that people made movies; until then, I had thought they just happened.
You know, going to the movies has always been recession-proof. It's fairly cheap entertainment; it's classic escapism.
I haven't sold to the movies. In other words, I haven't gotten any enormous checks yet.
Most of my films have a lot of character development and exploration, whereas in most horror movies the characters are just cardboard.
My whole game plan was to direct movies. I knew if I made a reputation in theater, I would get offers.
Mainstream animated movies are dumbed-down and sanitised: they make the world in their own image rather than exploring the limitless possibilities that are out there.
Citizen Kane is perhaps the one American talking picture that seems as fresh now as the day it opened. It may seem even fresher.
I forgive 'Face in the Crowd' its uneven tone because it's precisely what makes it feel unlike other Kazan movies.
It's like everybody is obsessed with Hollywood movies worldwide. And even though everybody hates the Americans, they're still watching American movies.
I like movies where you can come back and re-watch them and admire the cinematography 25 years later.
I'm not a big fan of there being voiceovers in movies. I really prefer it when the film tells it story.
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
I'm still blowing alright, and I still enjoy it which is the main thing.
Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.
