I wanted to do different movies. I wanted to do deeper movies. More human movies based on human feelings.
I didn't watch horror movies when I was a kid. I didn't watch any bad movies.
'The Omen,' 'The Exorcist,' those movies for me are the quintessential horror movies that still scare me as an adult.
I like independent movies, documentaries. There's not a lot of movies that are commercially made that I dig.
When you boil it down, most movies are message movies. And I think careers are made in message movies.
Sure, I watched a lot of Hollywood movies. Maybe I've seen more Hollywood movies than French movies.
Movies I liked growing up were like Francis Ford Coppolla movies and Scorsese movies.
In other words, if you - the cost of promoting movies, the advertising and promotion of a movie, the budget is almost as large as the cost of the movie.
The Lord of the Rings movie set an entirely new standard for fantasy in the movies.
Songs are like movies to me, and so you put yourself in the movie. You become a character in the movie.
You could say that Iron Man was a second-tier character, and it turned out very successfully. I simply think it's down to the movie itself, and whether people enjoy the movie, are involved in the movie, and that it entertains them. From that point of...
I go to movies expecting to have a whole experience. If I want a movie that doesn't end, I'll go to a French movie. That's a betrayal of trust to me. A movie has to be complete within itself; it can't just build off the first one or play variations.
I've never written a movie, I'm not in the movie business. I go out to L.A. and I'm like everyone else wandering around in a daze hoping I see movie stars. I write the novels that the movies are based on, and that feels like enough of a job for me.
For me, the reason to make the movie is that if people like the comic, then people would like the movie if it was well made. There are good movies for them, but very few. And I mean that in a true sense. If they love your story for freaking 30 years,...
I am fortunate enough to have worked on, and continue to work on, evolutionary movies in all formats from just simple good story telling, which still matters most of all, to CG movies to tent-pole size 3D movies, and genre 3D movies like 'Piranha 3D....
Listen, I think movies serve many different purposes, from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment, to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity, a...
I grew up on certain movies, particular movies that said something to me as a kid from Missouri, movies that showed me places I'd yet traveled, or different cultures, or explained something, or said something in a better way than I could ever say. I ...
I want to continue to make beautiful movies. The most important thing is to be a part of beautiful stories, that's all I want. So I don't care if it's a Hollywood movie or an independent movie or a Spanish or American movie. I care about telling stor...
Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering , 'When do I put my arm around her?'
I just want to see a good movie. Fortunately, good movies come in all sorts of genres.
It's really hard to find good movies, and that's pretty much what I try to find, good movies.
