Geekiness is that feeling of overwhelming passion for that thing in life that you focus on. Whether it be a nephew's first few steps or the timbre in one's voice when discussing the latest Cohen brothers film.
I was a banker in Morocco when I first saw 'American Graffiti.' It was before I was an actor, a melancholy time in my life, and this mood was reflected in the film.
Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.
I have never struggled for anything in my life because I never thought I will be an actress. Film just walked up to my house with 'Abodh.'
I'm sure the movie industry is going up but I would love to see more Chinese films about contemporary Chinese about the problems of life on the street.
It's only been a couple of times in my life that I've really locked horns with actors. It did not hurt the films, it just hurt the moment of the filmmaking.
There's always difficulties and challenges in every life, I don't care how much money you make, where you live... and that's something this film speaks to.
The main jokes in this film are about big things, love and life and zombies - we all get that.
'Marnie' was ahead of its time. People didn't talk about childhood and its effects on adult life. It was taboo to discuss sexuality and psychology and to put all that into a film was shocking.
I'll continue making films because I love being able to drop into other people's worlds. My goal is to be constantly learning.
I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people.
I would love to make some kind of film about the witches and the Inquisitions. That would be really fun because I don't think their stories have been told enough.
If only every man who sees my films did not get the impression he can make love to me, I would be a lot happier.
I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different.
I started modeling and after a while the photographer Bruce Weber introduced me to Joel Schumacher, who cast me in my first film, and I just fell in love.
I love the idea of using film language similarly to how musicians use music - combining images and sounds in a way that they create an emotional effect.
Most of Hollywood is about making money - and I love money, but I don't make the films thinking about money.
I'd love to work with the people who really got the film industry going again through the '70s: Peter Weir, Bruce Beresford, Gillian Armstrong, Fred Schepisi.
Boy, I'd hate to shoot on tape or disc or whatever the hell they're talking about. I love film.
I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well. I'd love to be able to do a mixture.
I would love it if my films made a lot of money, and may I say that 'The Yards' is the only one that's lost money.
