I loved old movies as a kid, so I always watched old movies.
The most exciting thing for all of us is movies and movie stars.
Maybe I've seen more Hollywood movies than French movies.
I think the whole stigma of 'black movies' is slowly being lost. When you look at movies like '12 Years A Slave,' to 'The Butler,' to 'The Best Man,' to 'Ride Along,' to even 'Think Like a Man' from last year - these movies are just good movies.
'Scary Movie' has lost its way as a franchise. It has turned into 'Disaster Film' and 'Epic Movie' and 'Date Movie' and that isn't what I wanted. I wanted to do a movie that was just grounded in a reality that went to crazy places.
The difference between a movie star and a movie actor is this - a movie star will say, 'How can I change the script to suit me?' and a movie actor will say. 'How can I change me to suit the script?'
I think that there's good movies and there's bad movies, and sometimes the bad movies spoil it for the rest of us, and we focus on them, but in the long run, all that matters are the good movies. Those are the ones that we will remember.
I didn't even know how to judge 'Die Hard 1.' It's not anything I know how to judge. I'd never seen an action movie. I'd never seen a Sly Stallone movie or an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie or a Charles Bronson movie. And that is the truth.
My love of movies started when I was 7 years old, living in a small town, going to the movies all the time, and finding the people in the movies more interesting than the people in my small town. Also, at that time, it wasn't that easy to find out ab...
I love musicals. I love horror movies and I love art movies.
Cinema Paradiso, because it reminds me of why I make movies, the magic of movies, the romance of movies.
Special effects movies have taken over the universe. That and scary movies.
It's a big problem for American movies that all their movies are produced to be global.
No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.
I wanted to do different movies. I wanted to do deeper movies. More human movies based on human feelings.
I didn't watch horror movies when I was a kid. I didn't watch any bad movies.
'The Omen,' 'The Exorcist,' those movies for me are the quintessential horror movies that still scare me as an adult.
I like independent movies, documentaries. There's not a lot of movies that are commercially made that I dig.
When you boil it down, most movies are message movies. And I think careers are made in message movies.
Sure, I watched a lot of Hollywood movies. Maybe I've seen more Hollywood movies than French movies.
Movies I liked growing up were like Francis Ford Coppolla movies and Scorsese movies.
