I like the platform to show your art and everything that goes along with that. To show your voice and hopefully find films that are more politically driven, films that maybe inspire.
When you do a film, all you want is to make the best film possible. You don't think about Oscars. But it's really flattering. Please, bring it on!
I have been in the film industry for 35 years, and everyone, including the spot-boys, will vouch for my character.
I am sure I am one of 2,000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.
I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
When a film like Chris Nolan's Memento cannot get picked up, to me independent film is over. It's dead.
With '10,000,' our aim was to make a film that was entertaining and a roller-coaster ride; it is what it is. It's an adventure film.
After film school, I would write 8 hours a day on film and 8 hours a night on TV, and then sleep once and a while.
Although you have some films that are a real bummer, there's always a film that comes up where it's just heaven.
'The Road' was my first American film, my first film in the snow. The first of everything. So, I was jumping into it, and that was pretty grueling.
I'd rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
I loved Westerns as a little kid, and I loved horror films.
Acting in TV as opposed to films is really difficult. What a film gets two months to do, we get eight days to do.
I'm always slightly worried if I do a film and we're filming it in Luxembourg. I know it's going to go straight DVD.
In any film, there are 10 male roles for 1 female role, especially in the action films. They're heavy with the guys.
There's a difference between watching a film and watching a bit of cinema and enjoying a film as a piece of cinema.
Look, I'm just a storyteller. When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda.
Fame should be left to the film stars.
Nowadays, if a studio assumes that his film is bad, there is always an executive that gets more nervous than usual and thinks that if they change the music, the film will become a masterpiece.
Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.
