I feel very meditative when I ride. A horse does not know whether my movie is a hit or a flop or what is happening in my relationship.
Mind you, Roman Holiday - which is kind of a romantic comedy - is one of my favorite films, and I think Audrey Hepburn is absolutely phenomenal in that movie.
It's very difficult to have any kind of romantic feelings for a movie where you know exactly what's going to happen in the first five minutes.
I said 'Brian, no one is going to respect me as a mother after this.' He said, 'oh no, yes they will, this is a movie, don't worry about it.' But they're not.
Every movie that I've had to really knock down the door for has been an enormous success for me. Not just like a financial success but a real personal success.
If you think of movie studio executives, say, as society, then I root for the independent producers.
Providing 'freemium' cloud storage to society is not a crime. What will Hollywood do when smartphones and tablets can wirelessly transfer a movie file within milliseconds?
I spent most of my high school years on movie sets and I'd have like one teacher, which was really bad.
I started in the theater when I was 10, so I grew up in the theater and was very used to that, but I love movies and television, also, obviously.
So much of movie acting is in the lighting. And in loving your characters. I try to know them, and with that intimacy comes love. And now, I love Voldemort.
I love the ending of a movie where two people end up together. Preferably if there's rain and an airport or running or a confession of love.
I think all movie love scenes are hard because you can't truly be as intimate as you would be with anyone you're truly with, and everyone's watching you.
I love doing action and stuff; the problem is usually action movies are not that interesting. Also as I get older I feel like there's less opportunities for me.
I would love to play Simon Cowell in a movie - heck, I would love it. It would be my dream role.
I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.
Everyone in my industry, the movie industry, is looking at the music industry and going, 'How do we avoid that collapse?' And I don't know if you can, to be quite honest!
If someone were to come from another planet and see the world through movies, they'd think that the world was populated by white men in their 30s who shoot a lot.
I was raised by muses. Women who had men in awe of them and who wrote them movies and wrote them music.
Sometimes it's more difficult to exist as a female lead, especially in action movies because all those men are around you. They take so much place.
I'm a big fan of Alan J. Pakula's films like 'All the President's Men', 'The Parallax View,' and 'Klute.' I'm a big fan of those movies.
I liked the fact that there were so many different representations of black women and black men in the movie. It wasn't like we all had the same agenda.
