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.
3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies; for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning.
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.
We watched a lot of Hong Kong action movies in my house when I was growing up.
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.
You can make movies for a select audience, but you have to market it to them. You can make movies for a select audience, but you have to market it to them.
I'd rather do movies 'cause I am better at movies, but I do shows 'cause the opportunities have come forward.
I see the tool set being the same and maybe doing virtual movies and that's fine for some stories but not for others. And maybe make all CG movies but they are already doing it.
I miss the movies. Still, I understood that my kind of movie has had its day. I thought it was over for me.
All these horror movies are slasher film now. I like them, they're fun, but they wink at the audience and you're really not terrified through the movie.
I'd done a ton of movies here in Hollywood, and I realized that every movie I'd done was somebody's else's work and someone else's vision.
When I was a kid going into the movies, you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.
I don't think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman, not a movie. You can't kiss a movie.
There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible.
For movies to get greenlit solely based on the success of other movies that have a lot of women in them? It's so ridiculous to me.
There are definitely strictly independent movies. 'Gummo' is one. Another is one I made, 'Fresh,' a $3 million movie which Boaz Yakin directed.
The first Disney movie I saw I think was 'Snow White.' I loved all the Disney princess movies.
In the 1950s, we had all these B-grade science-fiction movies. The point was to scare the public and get them to buy popcorn. No attempt was made to create movies that were somewhat inherent to the truth.
I like movies a lot, and I feel really excited when I see a movie that moves me the right way.
