The first man, who, after enclosing a piece of ground, took it into his head to say, "This is mine," and found people simple enough to believe him, was the true founder of civil society. How many crimes, how many wars, how many murders, how many misf...
J. Russell Finch: And I give you my word. My wife wanted to stop for you, I wanted to stop for you, he wanted to stop for you. But tell him, tell him how my mother in-law made us drive right by him... Lennie Pike: Listen, anything you got to say abou...

I was scouted at the age of 10 by a Hollywood agent. I was a really shy, geeky-looking thing, and started in the industry by doing 'extra' work on films.
I was speaking to Ridley Scott the other day and he makes a film every 18 months. He's amazing really.
'Pulp Fiction' is an amazing film, and I haven't made one nearly as good.
I loved filming in Morocco; it was amazing. I'd never been anywhere like that. The culture was phenomenal. I was so blown away by the spirit of that country.
I was able to do To Sleep with Anger, a very powerful film about African Americans, their spirituality, and the things that happened within a small community and a family.
I think a smart person today realizes that you have to be part of the art films that are done just for the sake of the art.
What you do in your art - TV, music, film stuff - touches people. And they want to touch you. So that's a blessing. I'm okay with it.
I grew up in the heat of '70s postmodern fiction and post-Godard films, and there was this idea that what mattered was the theory or meta in art.
Fashion, for me, is anything that's aesthetic and beautiful. Art, food, film. It's something that I appreciate and really like.
Toy Soldiers was my introduction to film. I certainly didn't think I was doing art by any stretch of the imagination.

Sometimes the best thing you could do is a real bad film... you could improvise all over the place and probably only improve the script.
All we try and do is make the best films we can. If you do that then hopefully the audiences will come, and they have. Everything else is gravy.
In terms of doing another franchise after 'Transformers,' I don't know if that would be best for me. I'm really happy to inhabit the world of independent film.
'The Jungle Book.' It's one of the best animated films ever. I saw it when I was small at a cinema in Tehran.
'Uncharted' is the best job I've ever had. Film, television, whatever - it's without doubt the best. It's changed my life.
As an actress, I'm constantly watching different shows and films and am always gathering information and inspiration for characters and techniques to make my performances the best they can be.
Your landscape in a western is one of the most important characters the film has. The best westerns are about man against his own landscape.
