So I got caught up in the same wave as everybody else and went right out to Hollywood, to make movies.
I think it's just important to be always bouncing between TV and theater, and hopefully I'll get to do movies at some point.
I loved comedy, but I never saw myself as a sitcom guy. I envisioned myself doing an hour drama or doing movies.
You know, comics and movies, even if you take a comic and turn it into a movie, we can't all be Joss Whedon.
In the movies, Bette Davis lights two cigarettes and hands the second one to James Cagney. It was just so glamorous and romantic.
Most of my films have a lot of character development and exploration, whereas in most horror movies the characters are just cardboard.
If you're fighting with your boyfriend, you can go to the movies and cry it out and leave happy because the ending of the film is happy.
A cinema villain essentially needs a moustache so he can twiddle with it gleefully as he cooks up his next nasty plan.
I've only seen a couple horror movies in my lifetime. I don't like the ones that make you scream out in terror.
I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.
I've worked a lot. I don't like to watch myself. I don't go to the movies unless I have to go to the premiere.
When you make successful movies, everyone on set takes care of you, everybody is so nice and you disconnect from reality.
Jesus is a half-naked guy, hanging, nailed to a cross, and then people wear that around their neck, and then those are the people that are upset about violence in movies.
I don't often see the movies I'm in; I'm usually disappointed in myself and it only serves to make me self-conscious.
My whole game plan was to direct movies. I knew if I made a reputation in theater, I would get offers.
The first two movies I directed failed, when I was 21 and 23, and that was the greatest thing that could have happened.
James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.
I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.
I'm in a play on Broadway, I have an animated TV show coming up, I have a few movies that just came out.
I'd rather do a lot of movies than a TV series and do a lot of different roles than be stuck in one TV thing.
Actors are really working with bodies, with their minds, and with their emotions. Feelings, basically. That's what movies are about, going from one feeling to another.
