A very receptive state of mind... not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it.
I think that film combines almost every element that makes human life worth living.
People ask me about fighting in real life and, honestly, it wouldn't look as graceful as it does in film and TV.
I think the struggle, whenever you make a film or television movie based on a real person's life, is finding a dramatic arc that will hold an audience's attention.
A film has a sort of life over time, whereas a TV show comes up in your living room, and it's immediate, and people write about it.
I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life.
I would love to do more films. I really like the whole process of doing that. I like how close you become to everybody.
When you're in theater or the circus or film - to me it's all one - affairs happen. People fall in love.
I'd love to do film and soundtracks, and you couldn't do much better than James Bond.
I love films like 'Deliverance' where you can watch it over and over again and decode all of its many different meanings.
Usually, watching yourself is pretty awful. People think we all love watching our own films. We don't. We cringe away from it.
In all the movies I'm in love with someone in my head. There's always love in a film somewhere. It doesn't matter even if it's an action movie.
Well, I don't think Hollywood's a dirty word at all, I love a lot of Hollywood films.
I love European films in general. If I were to go to the movie store or something, that's what I like to see.
I like working in theatre now and I think that once you've done a certain amount of films most actors love working in the theatre because of the camaraderie.
So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words.
I'd love to make a sequel to 'The Rocketeer.' The film didn't do as well at the box office as we all hoped, but it has endured and generated a following.
I love those films where I feel the director's confidence - where he doesn't need to overdo it with the shots and the cuts.
I would love to get into feature films; I'm willing to do an action flick, I'm willing to do a romantic comedy.
I never think that a film should answer questions for you. I think it should make you ask a lot of questions.
They're such hierarchical things, film sets, they're sort of mini societies. Often they're incredibly political places.
