The great thing about films is that you have access to this whole world of experts who teach you the skills your character's supposed to have.
Comedy does offer an avenue to television and film careers for untelegenic people that great drama does not.
I always liked Disney films. To this day I think 'Bambi' is great.
I think anytime you can do something you haven't seen or done in a film before, it's always a great day as an actor.
The great thing about film is you start and finish. It's a journey that lasts so long, TV lasts a long time.
It's great to work in film and TV, and I love it, but there's nothing that can replace that instantaneous storytelling you get in theater.
Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
I think a lot of theater actors that were great, like Walken or Glenn Close, later became film actors.
I want people to look at my films and say 'Wow, she's a good actress', and I know I'll have to work hard for that.
I'd done kids' TV in the U.K., but not great kids' TV. So yes, 'Submarine' was the first film and the first good thing that I have done.
The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is, the harder it is to get it financed. That's why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies.
With action films, it's great if it's not just driven by action, but by a good story and interesting characters, as well. Though, there's nothin' like kicking butt!
When you look at a film like 'The Ides of March' or 'Good Night, and Good Luck' even, those are really contained pictures.
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.
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.
