In times of war, starvation, hunger and injustice, such tragedy can only be put aside if you allow yourself to be uplifted through music, film and dance.
With the rise of the Internet, fashion did become part of the global entertainment industry in the last ten years, and will follow the digital evolution of the music or film industry.
I guess professionally it began when Hal Hartley used some music of mine in his film The Unbelievable Truth.
When you hear my music and you feel the emotion, it's real. When you see me in a film and you see a tear, it's real.
I always said when I was younger, I wanted to write film music, and I think that's what my ultimate dream is.
There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.
Right now I just finished writing the music for a Rugrats feature film and the third week of September I go to London, and the Orchestra is going to perform the score.
I think possibly the first film that has music as its leading character.
Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.
You can be a sex symbol through music or film. Hey, there are some politicians that are sex symbols. Is that something you should fight? No. Sex is very natural.
In TV, film, and music there's a lot of snobbery, and I don't like it. I've never been a cultural snob.
If I'm working on a film, I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like, 100 in the morning or something.
Whenever I don't get injured, the film is a dud. I didn't bleed on 'Rhinestone.' I didn't bleed on 'Stop! Or My Mom will Shoot.'
The secret to a long marriage in the film industry? Marry someone wonderful, as I did. And always have her come along on location.
A film is like a mad arranged marriage, with all these people who don't necessarily want to be with each other forced into this intimate, exhausting process.
I definitely want to study film. I'd like to have my own studio one day and just make a lot of movies.
As most actors/actresses, I don't like to watch my own movies, either, and I never look at the dailys while filming.
I still can't get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the 'New Yorker.' Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times.
Because I was a champion swimmer in Canada, they're always trying to get me in the water in movies! I've drawn the line now with this film. No more water!
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
I've always been a follower of silent movies. I see film as a visual medium with a musical accompaniment, and dialogue is a raft that goes on with it.
