I was lucky enough to get a very good agent at the age of 15, and got my first film when I was 16, so it's been rolling on since then.
In this age of consumerism film criticism all over the world - in America first but also in Europe - has become something that caters for the movie industry instead of being a counterbalance.
We've been working with the very best in the business. The studio really just let us alone to make the films.
It's amazing that this is still news to people, but that affects the final outcome of the film. When people are treated well, and they're made to feel valued, they give 110 percent.
I want to continue to produce film, television, and theater, and to make the most amazing music that I've made in my life.
You know, the reward for 'Captain America' is amazing. It's always fun to see a giant spectacle film and see the fun stuff - the special effects.
I saw 'The Artist.' It's really beautiful and it's all done to the letter with all the silent film techniques. The costumes were amazing and the dog is so good.
I like making films about old people because they are repositories of amazing stories that they tell well. And they're incredibly good telly.
'Bambi' is an amazing film, and when you watch it today, it's just as beautiful. It's timeless. It's just as beautiful today as it was back then.

If you consider film an art form, as some people do, then the Western would be a truly American art form, much as jazz is.
I always tell younger filmmakers, it's not just about the acting or the art itself. It's about how big of an audience watches your film.
I think the point of art is to be controversial in a lot of ways. It's to cause conversations, and it's to get people excited about and talking about the things that the films are about.
I think it's always hard for people to get their head around the fact that populist, commercial films can also actually be great works of art.
As I've gotten less righteous, less pedagogic, I have become more loving of the artificiality, the art form, the imitation of life in film.
First of all, what in this world does not revolve around money? But money is a big part of film, unlike a lot of other art forms.
One thing that I always liked about fashion was that it was tied in with music and art and film.
His characters are ravaged, beaten. They walk through infernos and emerge charred doves.
