There are all kinds of ways that people present their films, but that's kind of a good feeling, if you can make it seem like the characters are really there.
The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.
I got good notice from that show, and on the last day of filming Townies, Twentieth Century Fox called wanting to meet with me about a development deal.
I have an affinity for good roles in good films. I like a variety of parts, and if some of the good stuff happens to be in fantasy and horror, I do them.
It's my job as a supporting actor - which I usually am - to support the film: to make 1, 2, or 3 on the call sheet look good.
I'd rather have a small part in a good film with good people than play the lead in something I don't really care for.
I know that Wes Craven feels watching horror films does have a psychological effect, in a good way. It is very cathartic. He might be right about that.
This particular film highlights Ben and Owen's strengths which is that they are great comedic actors with tremendous chemistry and they do a really good job.
I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest. All the Bond films had their good points.
Since 'Heroes' started, I've probably had about 15 or 16 film scripts sent to me with Indian characters, and out of those, maybe one was good.
Plenty of bad movies are very successful, and plenty of good movies are not. And distribution is so crazy, some films won't even get their day in court.
With film, you can feel confident that you're doing good work, but never know what it's going to look like.
I never like to go out of character when filming starts. I fear that if I do, I might not be able to pick it up again.
In the future, I would like to do more films with contemporary themes. Perhaps comedy, which is something I have done in theater but not in cinema.
I think digital will displace film, yes. We're talking about digital as a thing of the future, but I'm afraid that it's here.
I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
Filming is a funny combination of having a good time and not being able to wait until it's over.
I can't think of a more pathetic situation for an actor than to do a film and not connect to it. And I pray to God that I never face that situation.
We're given the springboard of the text, a plane ticket, told to report to Alabama, and there's a group of people all ready to make a film and it's a marvelous life.
I'm always surprised when some director says, 'When I saw this film, that changed my life.' I don't have that.
I don't know if I'd ever want to show my college life in the films I make. I think I've passed that stage long ago.
