I love Westerns. I really love John Wayne. Frank Capra, any of his movies I love.
I love watching movies. It breaks up the monotony of the road and momentarily takes you somewhere else.
One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.
I love theaters. I love the event of going there and seeing a movie with a lot of people. I like the community coming around the story.
I feel like soundtrack music is almost like seeing the movie again, but with my ears.
In a film score, the last thing you want to do is take people out of the movie. The music is secondary. In opera, the music is the main event.
I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning, in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.
I'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.
I've always loved movies about con men. I think con men are as American as apple pie.
The stronger the participation of the female characters, the better the movie. They knew that in the old days, when women stars were equally as important as men.
It's absurd: half the movie audience are women, but Hollywood bosses are still aiming for men who are 20.
Movies are very hard to make, to get it all to come together. So many people have their say in what the end product of films are.
My attention span is very limited, and I watch just one or two movies a year.
I can't watch scary movies right now, because living on my own, it kind of freaks me out.
I am so scared of the 'Paranormal Activity' movies. I didn't think I was going to be able to sleep.
I loved performing in the 'High School Musical' movies - that didn't seem like work - but the gym felt like torture!
I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.
My movies are unadorned, they're not particularly fancy, I think they're kind of workmanlike in some ways, focusing on the writing and the acting.
In silent movies, they tended to put the camera down, and everybody walked in front of it and acted, and then they all walked off. Cutting was quite infrequent.
When the music and the characters are flawlessly synchronized, the opera develops an emotional force that movies and plays cannot match.
I started as a journalist for magazines in New York City, so it was always storytelling. And moving into movies was a natural transition.
