Yes, sir, a patrol car came and took me down to a station where they were trying to develop films, but they hadn't got the facilities to develop colored film.
I had no education in filmmaking. I started with a 8mm camera. I made 34 films, and little by little I gained more experience in filming.
I would rather portray the hero if it's a really great film. All my favorite fictional film characters are heroes, such as in 'The Last of the Mohicans' and 'Robin Hood.'
The films that I really liked and the ones that really blew my mind when I was younger were independent films. They're like great records to me.
I always wanted to work on films, and when I was starting in television in this country, in Great Britain, there really wasn't any film to be made.
It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important.
Well, you'll find the most boring part of it is the waiting, at least if it's in films anyway. Television's a lot faster, but the product... I don't think it's as good as a film.
I think the film you hear about the most is 'The Exorcist.' When people come up to me and say, 'Oh, you scared me!' I was the good guy in that film!
Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.
It would be real nice to have some kind of bell or whistle attached to this film - it would give it a longer life. People seem to need that validation to go to a film these days.
'The Wine of Summer' is a beautiful film about love lost and found, and the complexities of life while discovering who you are. It was filmed primarily in and around Barcelona, and the imagery is breathtaking.
I don't think his life has been in any way disfigured by the film. The film did disclose some difficult facts.
I like some of the early silent films because I love to watch how actors had to play then. What would interest me today is to do a silent film.
I love the grandiosity, how sweepingly entertaining films can be. And I think there's a place for films that pry more into the human condition.
I love that I'm rarely recognized. I like it because I know I can look different from film to film.
The film of tomorrow will not be directed by civil servants of the camera, but by artists for whom shooting a film constitutes a wonderful and thrilling adventure.
I wanted to be a martial arts film star when I was a teenager.
I like the movie 'Das Boot,' the German film made in the '80s. I found out it was a series that was made into a film for the U.S.
It's gotten to the point where it's big news when I don't do a horror film.
I listen to Morricone, the famed Italian film composer, while I'm working.
A film - especially when it's a personal film - is going to hit somebody or it's not. There's nothing you can do about it.
