I remember reading 'Disturbia,' one of the first scripts I ever got, and I go 'Pfft, who wants to make a movie about a guy in a house?'
The comforts come from my movie and television writing. It is unusual to live this well simply from books.
A book and a movie are different animals. You need a cinematic perspective to be involved in the motion pictures. And this is something I lack.
I always had a weird thing with being the last person somewhere... like a movie theater or a classroom. I get a weird sense of anxiety.
That's kind of the weird thing that M. Night Shyamalan has sort of unleashed upon the world is this need for every movie to have these ridiculous endings.
I simply went down there to catch up with an old mate of mine, who owns the place. He's the one who wrote the book on the place, but no, no movie, just a beer.
The thing about movie musicals is that there have been some brilliant ones, but when they're bad, they're really bad - big white elephants.
I'd like to think that the notion of inspiration will transcend cultural things that are going on. There's something classic about this movie that I'm hoping reaches kids.
I'm into the idea of responsibility and edification and these things have found me and I have found them. I wanted to be in the movie and I made it known to Mike.
When I'd finished, everybody said they wanted me for this movie. At first I thought they meant a nudie flick since an awful lot of nudies are made in Houston.
In The Name of the King is the right title. To be honest, I don't know who had the final idea for the title but I liked it and it has a strong connection to the movie's story.
Unfortunately, 'post racism' is also a myth, like unicorns and black people who survive to the end of a horror movie.
I was a huge Spice Girls fan when I was a kid. When I was younger I had a Spice Girls poster on my wall and I watched the movie.
At the Hong Kong festival, we were co-producers of the opening film, 'Aberdeen,' which is the third part in a popular movie series.
'Border' was the first movie that I watched on the big screen. It always takes me back to my childhood.
Any nominations a movie gets helps to raise the level of curiosity in the public, so in that sense awards and nominations are important.
American films are terribly popular all over the world and American movie stars are terribly important. I don't know why.
When you go to a movie, it's about what's not being said. I tried to bring that to Greg Sumner. It was always about what's not being said.
When I'm actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it's a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying.
When I'm not on T.V. or working on a movie, I'm on the road doing stand-up. That's my roots.
After I made my hit in 'Salome,' Universal sent me to New York so I could learn to be a proper movie star.
