Whenever I don't get injured, the film is a dud. I didn't bleed on 'Rhinestone.' I didn't bleed on 'Stop! Or My Mom will Shoot.'
The secret to a long marriage in the film industry? Marry someone wonderful, as I did. And always have her come along on location.
A film is like a mad arranged marriage, with all these people who don't necessarily want to be with each other forced into this intimate, exhausting process.
I definitely want to study film. I'd like to have my own studio one day and just make a lot of movies.
As most actors/actresses, I don't like to watch my own movies, either, and I never look at the dailys while filming.
I still can't get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the 'New Yorker.' Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times.
Because I was a champion swimmer in Canada, they're always trying to get me in the water in movies! I've drawn the line now with this film. No more water!
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
I've always been a follower of silent movies. I see film as a visual medium with a musical accompaniment, and dialogue is a raft that goes on with it.
All these horror movies are slasher film now. I like them, they're fun, but they wink at the audience and you're really not terrified through the movie.
When I started to watch some of the films I'd done, I realized I was doing movies that I might not actually want to see.
I don't think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman, not a movie. You can't kiss a movie.
In all of the movies and films you see, people are always in crisis because that's what we watch. We watch them deal with crisis and resolve it.
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
As a young actor, I found myself in all these movies at once, with two big trilogies and a Cameron Crowe film and working with Ridley Scott a couple of times.
I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies.
Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished.
I like telling stories, I like movies, and I want to work on films. I think I would feel safer behind the camera.
My parents used to rent old movies - my whole childhood is in black and white - and it was my dream to make films.
Matt: [Last line in the film after Matt has killed Richard] "I don't know."
