I grew up loving Walter Payton. My dad used to always show us film of him.
There were IBM logos designed for the film, and there were IBM design consultants working with Kubrick on the layout of the controls and computer screens.
I never had any film training. I went to Northwestern. I studied education and theater. So it was all theater training.
It was great to work in Ireland because it's such a beautiful country, but it's not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time.
I love being around great actors and film-makers, and I try to hide the fact that I'm in awe of them.
Being a recording artist, selling music, selling concerts out, having a reality show, starting film; it's great, it's beautiful.
The great thing about stage is that you have more control. The stage is yours. The time is yours. Film is really the editor's medium.
A lot of big studio films, which are fun and great, tend to have a formula, and you've seen it before, and it's a new version of it.
I just want the opportunity to continue to do great films, play great characters and work with great people.
Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.
It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.
Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's bad. I think the film could have been a lot better.
You can have a bunch of great actors in a film, but if you don't have anyone telling a great story, it's a moot point.
I have memories of films that nobody ever saw, that I was very proud of, and those are still great memories.
I am a great movie buff, and I devour films regularly.
As far as I know, if you take your time, write a good script and make a good film, then give the audience time, they will accept it.
There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.
If you make a feelgood film which is complete candyfloss, where everybody is good and everything is beautiful and hunky dory, it won't appeal to the audience.
I'm not afraid of being thought of as someone who is associated with film music. Why not? If it's a good song, what does it matter?
I don't really see the point in making a film unless you can think of a good reason to do it.
I mean, it was a mummy movie. It was a good film independent of its source. It that looks like Lawrence of Arabia on steroids in a lot of ways.
