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.
Yes, sir, a patrol car came and took me down to a station where they were trying to develop films, but they hadn't got the facilities to develop colored film.
I had no education in filmmaking. I started with a 8mm camera. I made 34 films, and little by little I gained more experience in filming.
I would rather portray the hero if it's a really great film. All my favorite fictional film characters are heroes, such as in 'The Last of the Mohicans' and 'Robin Hood.'
The films that I really liked and the ones that really blew my mind when I was younger were independent films. They're like great records to me.
I always wanted to work on films, and when I was starting in television in this country, in Great Britain, there really wasn't any film to be made.
It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important.
