I have a production company called Home Theater Films which makes faith-based films.
I made four films on John F. Kennedy, filmed when he was running for office, in office, and after his death.
A film is a great deal about what you see, and the silhouette of a character tells you a lot. I'd love to go into film costume.
You can be moved by an animated film and not by a live action film. There could be great inspiration in and humanity in that animated story.
I don't see a film industry in Germany. They have a great TV culture, but how many German films are really exciting?
A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.
I've done about four deaths in films now, and I think it's quite good because then it's sort of a memorable moment in the film.
The film I think was a good film for what it was designed for. It was for kids. Unfortunately the critics slashed it before it even started but that is just the way the cookie crumbles.
A good film demands its own score, and if you are a musician, your conscience will never allow you to do something mediocre for a good film.
Any film is about heroism: the triumph of good over evil. If you look back at my films, you will see that as a recurring theme.
I just want to make great films and be good in them. And I think that my perception of what's great in a film is constantly evolving.
James Caan told me at the end of filming 'Elf' that he had been waiting through the whole film for me to be funny - and I never was.
I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.
I studied screenwriting at film school and was constantly learning how to construct three-act dramas.
I did love horror films from the '70s and '80s. That was my sweet spot.
I auditioned equally for film and theater. The difference is that theater has seasons, while film, it's always happening.
I'm not a director to make an action or horror film. That's not for me.
When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.
I am a big scaredy-cat; horror films terrify me.
Normally I sit there in the films really hating watching myself. Loving watching the films, hating watching myself.
I think horror films always have to be as simple as possible.
