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.
But my sense in talking to people when I travel is that the film business is not that dissimilar from a lot of other businesses.
I don't want to make films that give you the answer. If there is a message to my films - and I hope there isn't - it's to be open-minded.
It's more interesting because you get to research the history of the period, and all the different aesthetic elements that make a film, particularly this film, so stunning.
I think there are certain technical things about acting that change between working in film and television. Everything definitely slows down and we have more time in film.
I would love to explore film seeing as I have prominently been on television. It would be nice to change it up and focus on film a little bit.
