I've always been fascinated by Asian culture, and I love that women can play the lead in a horror film.
I've always loved... actually I didn't always love horror films. I started out and I only liked comedies and dramas.
The thing that I really love about film is that it is with you forever - it goes to your children, and they get to see it again and again and have it forever.
I love to act. And oh-so-love telling stories through film as an actor. Even on my 'days off.'
I love thinking about the film, the project and committing myself as much as possible.
I always loved music, and I always wanted to make a film about it, but I could never do it because of the censorship that was around.
These things I sample, or clip, are things that we share - music, films, sounds. It triggers a layer of participation from the audience as they recognize the material and remember it.
Whether it be through television, or through music, or through dance, or through film, whatever it is, as long as it's the right project that makes sense, then I'm all for it.
I almost became a music major, but somehow I was so enthralled with the camera and becoming a director that I stuck with film school and theatrics.
In most films music is brought in at the end, after the picture is more or less locked, to amplify the emotions the filmmaker wants you to feel.
I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes, I listen to Indian music quite often, and other non- film music.
In a film score, the last thing you want to do is take people out of the movie. The music is secondary. In opera, the music is the main event.
How about that? You can hear NFL Films music on everything from 'SpongeBob SquarePants' to 'Deep Throat.'
Well physically preparing for the role, definitely and then continuing to stay physically fit throughout filming, getting up, 4.00 4.30 in the morning.
I think a lot of the time in films, men get roles where they create their own destiny and women are just tools, supporters for that.
Movies are very hard to make, to get it all to come together. So many people have their say in what the end product of films are.
I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?
I've been in so many bad movies and worked with so many bad directors that I go into a film expecting nothing.
Commercial movies have no feeling, no sensitivity. Most people tell me people won't understand films with feeling. But everyone can feel.
I'd been a fanatic of movies since I was a wee lad, so I got into the films before I got into the comics.
I was lucky that I made a few movies in a row that people really responded to - not me, particularly, but the films as a whole were appreciated.
