I play the father in the scene when Will and Tommy go back to Tommy's old apartment. It was a big mistake. I hope not to be in the next movie I direct.
You may think it's very presumptuous, but I really hope that my movies are going to turn people into better people.
I hope always to be busy, even if only directing an orchestra in the pit. However, I should prefer to produce movies or be the directing head of a radio corporation.
So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.
I love making movies and hope to write my own screenplay someday and do some producing and be behind-the-scenes as well.
So I decided to move that scene in the doctor's office to two-thirds into the movie, after the viewers had come to know Ryan and Ali and share in their happiness.
My films are completely new. I am not similar to anybody in the history of movies.
Being an actor in movies is a lot about the power of your imagination and making the circumstance real to you so the audience will feel that it's real.
Doing a movie about computers between 1978 and 1982? You can't get much less sexy, less active than that.
The ought to be a worldwide cultural taskforce that just stops you when you have ideas like combining The Red Desert with an armored car heist movie.
I grew up with the classics. My mom and I would sit and watch 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'White Christmas' - those kind of movies.
Even when you're making a movie about life, death is a presence, and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly.
I dream crazy vivid dreams. Like, entire movies. And sometimes I write songs about them.
I love my early movies, but naturalism is an artist's early style. Now I want to deal with feelings, dreams, an acceptance of irrationality.
I can create clothes for so many different time periods. I've always tried to avoid being pigeonholed. Plus, everything I learn about design and costume from one movie somehow works its way into something else.
My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview - how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone.
For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.
I always say horror films are great date movies. In the first twenty minutes, you're going to end up in each other's arms.
Hand-drawn animation is something that I feel really strongly about. A Pixar movie may be really great, but it looks like it was drawn by a machine.
I'm probably not creative or talented enough to create an especially compelling piece of content, but I really do enjoy watching a great movie or TV show.
I don't know if I'm going to do any more acting. It's a great job, you know? Make a movie? Why not?
