I've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show.
I definitely acknowledge that 'The Matrix' and Trinity had an influence on female action-oriented characters in television and in film. I think it's awesome.
'Angus' was my first real film, but I had been acting for about 3 threes before that as well.
I think that in any role you have, whether TV or film, it's hard to do comedy and drama within one story.
In a film, you have to externalize things that are internal and of course it becomes a debate about to what extent you do that.
Why do you act? You act for an audience. In the theatre, you're in their presence. Film stars don't know what it is to have an audience.
The first film role I deliberately chose to play after I came out was a raging heterosexual, John Profumo.
I was always interested in films and thought that was the path I should go down, but I didn't start pursuing acting until I was 17.
I'm someone who loves to play. I make films so I can have fun with the characters.
It's your living room, it's your life, go nuts. You like ? Tape it and go over it like it's the Zapruder film.
Watched Star Wars in 77 and that's when I got into watching films. I was just blown away by it.
If you don't generate tension in the film to begin with... you can't really make a purse out of a sow's ear, you know.
The Lord, over the years, grew a seed in my heart to make faith-based films.
I'm a big fan of being scared I like being scared. I like being involved in a film that will make audiences scared, that intrigues me.
For us in England, the relative value of the pound against the dollar, that has a huge impact on how easy it is to get our films made in the U.K.
It is rare that you read scripts that genuinely move you and make you feel that, regardless of the commercial possibilities, you have to make the film.
A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.
In my career, I have played a gangster, an ex cop, a journalist and a film director. Yet, the label of a serial kisser refuses to leave me.
A film director has to get a shot, no matter what he does. We're desperate people.
I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I'll do that before I'm thirty.
They prospect of seeing oneself in the mirror clean-shaven is too close to a Vincent Price film... a prospect not to be contemplated, no matter the compensation.
