European films were what it was about for me - the sensations I needed, the depth, the storytelling, the characters, the directors, and the freedom that you can't really find in American films.
It's arguable whether a hit song is gonna add to the business a film does. There are plenty of films that didn't do any business and sold a million albums.
I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.
'Lincoln' is a powerful film. It's one of those epic films that talk about this very specific issue in history of the United States.
More and more people are seeing the films on computers - lousy sound, lousy picture - and they think they've seen the film, but they really haven't.
Being part of 'Natural Nylon' is a great way to have an influence on the films that get out there. I love films and it gives me an input.
When you are making the one you are doing, you think it is the greatest film going. And then you do another one and it is a great film.
A favorite film of mine is 'Office Space' and I love 'The Hangover.' That is a really good comedy from character in that film, and that is true of 'Office Space' too.
All of the films I'm doing are young, urban, high-concept, funny films. That's the zone where I'd like to play and have fun in.
The life of a film is very strange. Once the film is done, you wish you could forget about it and move on.
I've made a lot of stupid action films in my life but I like stupid action films and am kind of proud of them.
I've always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things.
There are only 24 hours in a day, and my top priority is working on my films, but I love short film experiments.
What I remember myself from films, and what I love about films, is specific scenes and characters.
I don't think Bollywood is only mindless cinema, but a lot of films they churn out are not films that I completely enjoy watching.
I think I did a lot of humorous films when I was young, and they were No. 1 films.
I wanted to go to Rome. I got an offer to do an Italian film and I went.
In the mid 1990s the Korean film industry was really open-minded.
I'm not sure if I want to direct a film, but certainly, as an actress, I'm always thinking, 'Surely this must be my last film.'
I think there are way too many films made, and I've probably made way too many films.
Generally in my films like 'Hearts of Darkness' or 'Picture This,' I try not to make myself a presence in the film.
