The movie business is not something that can come from the brain. It really comes from the soul and the heart.
The core of the movie business remains intact and it's not descending in scope. Studios want movies that are bigger than ever.
I feel I belong in the movie business and I belong in the security business. It's a natural for me.
Movies have been my way to get out of my backyard. I'm trying to let people know that movies change people's lives.
Economically, it's more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.
When I'm in the movie, I'm entirely in the movie. When I'm on the set, I'm 200 per cent there; when I'm at home, I'm 200 per cent at home.
I wish I could play the lead role in one movie, one great movie.
People realize that Salieri is not the man we saw in the Amadeus movie. That man had no talent. It was a great movie, but the Salieri character was a big fiction.
I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.
Getting movies developed doesn't do me any good as a producer. It only does me good to get movies made.
There are conservatives in Hollywood who make good movies. They just don't make conservative movies because that's not what gets funded.
A horrible script 99 percent of the time means a horrible movie. But if you start with a good script, odds are you're going to have a good movie.
People ask me, 'Is 3D a good medium for horror movies?' I think it's the perfect thing for horror movies because it really puts you into it.
Plenty of bad movies are very successful, and plenty of good movies are not. And distribution is so crazy, some films won't even get their day in court.
The only movie I can watch on a loop, over and over, is 'Help', the Beatles movie. It's so funny and irreverent and great.
I really like 'Passion of the Christ.' I like that movie. I also like 'We Were Soldiers,' and 'Braveheart.' And 'Napoleon Dynamite' - that movie was funny.
But I think once the word gets out that the movie is funny - funny is transcendent - it will traverse all demographic barriers if people embrace it as a funny movie.
It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.
Life is like a movie to me. Everybody has their own movie that's playing out every day, and you're writing it.
I love movies. I'm a nut. There's nothing I would rather do than see three movies a day.
In all the movies I'm in love with someone in my head. There's always love in a film somewhere. It doesn't matter even if it's an action movie.
