I don't make movies for the same reason that a lot of people do. I make films because I need to see them exist in a very specific way.
I watched a lot of Douglas Fairbanks movies. He always played the same role with a mustache. Zorro had a mustache. The Musketeer had a mustache. Tarzan had a mustache.
Even today, a lot of the CGI you see in movies is so clean and crisp that it just looks fake. It's weird: the more advanced they get, the faker it looks.
And it's one reason why I don't go to a lot of movies - they're more and more dominated by corporate values and fiscal concerns as opposed to cinematic concerns.
A lot of movies are made, but because they come to film festivals and your movie doesn't get bought by a studio or a distributor, your movie doesn't get seen.
One of the nice things about licensing music to movies or advertisements is you can reach a lot of people who normally wouldn't hear music.
The thing is, the Superman comics have been around a long time, and so have the movies. They've done a lot of Superman movies, as they have with Batman.
A lot of producers cookie cut movies one after another, but I'll be a little more careful, and have the opportunity to be, because I have the acting career to subsidize the producing.
A lot of my stories are inspired by Japanese folklore or literature or movies: I've done stories based on Kabuki and Noh plays, and on Kurosawa's 'Yojimbo' movies.
On movies, you have a lot of stylists that get things too pretty. Everything gets steamed and ironed. It's just not the way we really behave.
My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.
Jack Twist: I got a boy. Eight months old. Smiles a lot.
Ray: [reading Harry's profanity-ridden message] Geez, he's swears a lot, doesn't he?
It's just very homey in Ireland. It's very comforting and comfortable. There's lots of fireplaces with fires. It's just really cozy.
I like older people; I think older people have a lot of flavor.
Even in my stand-up, there's a lot more positivity and enthusiasm rather than negative, I-hate-everything vibes.
You have to take things with a lot of laughter. I laugh with everyone; this way, I will be able to die happy.
I want to go back to Brazil, get married, have lots of kids, and just be a couch tomato.
I don't feel I'm a compulsive person. I multitask. I'm really well-organised, and I have lots of people to help me.
A lot of politicians, not surprisingly, hire consultants to help them with their nonverbals, presence, generally how they come across.
I went to college at North Carolina School of the Arts and took a lot of singing classes, and it really is so connected to emotions.
