The thing that separates a so-so director and a great director is a love and caring for film.
I don't think good films have messages.
I like all Jim Carrey films. They're really funny.
I love film - it's like painting.
I have a love interest in every one of my films: a gun.
I love doing research. I'm a film-school geek.
I don't know if my songs fit in films.
I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films.
I did important films when I was very young.
The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.
I'd just like to be in films that I would like to see.
The stage is suspension of disbelief. Film is a literal medium.
I've never seen the film 'Gulliver's Travels' - and I'm in it.
If you're expecting an intellectual film, then you will be disappointed.
I do enjoy film. The more I do it the more I learn.
I watched every single Charlie Chaplin film.
Until I'm on the set of a film, to me it's still not for real.
Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.
The freshest moments in my films have always been with unknown actors.
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
The only film I've enjoyed starring a wrestler was Mickey Rourke in 'The Wrestler.'
