You must understand as a kid of color in those days, the Harlem Globetrotters were like being movie stars.
I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie.
I've spent several years in Hollywood, and I still think the movie heroes are in the audience.
It's not a bad day at work when you just have to take your shirt off for a big franchise movie. There are worse jobs out there!
It must have been so impossible to think about it and dare to do that, so they feel compassionate for her. I don't think the movie would work otherwise.
And I think one way or another it's evident to those who work with me that as a writer, a director, a friend, as somebody's there that's very anxious to get the movie made.
Having gotten TV shows on the air, that's so much less work that trying to get the 'Veronica Mars' movie made.
My dream was to become a very small blonde movie star like Ida Lupino and those other women I saw up there on the screen during the Depression.
Sex was never as neat as the movies made it. Real sex was messy. Good sex was messier.
For 'Fright Night,' we really want to convey the fun attitude of the movie and show the intensity of Colin Farrell as a predator. He's not a brooding vampire - he's dark and dangerous.
There's a punk-rock attitude, clearly, to 'Hated.' There's even a punk-rock attitude to 'The Hangover,' I think. We start the movie with a Glenn Danzig song.
I do intelligent roles. I don't want to be labeled as doing silly movies. I'm more mature than kids my age because I'm constantly surrounded by adults.
Pressure is an emotional paralysis. It's hard enough to do the dishes when you're feeling pressured, let alone make a movie.
And Shanghai is amazing. I'm a fan of science fiction so when you're there in the night with all the lights and all this modernity, it's like a set in a movie.
Everyone feels a sense of ownership in creating a Lynn Shelton movie. Lynn chooses amazing people - including the crew. Every person there is committed to making the film the best it can be.
I'm kind of a pop balladeer because I love the art of storytelling. I call myself 'HBO for the ears'; I sing little movies.
To be honest, I sort of feel like 'movie actor' isn't of this time. I love it. But it's a 20th-century art form.
I love the art of acting, so I don't care if I'm in a movie with 10 people, two people, or by myself. I just really enjoy it.
Art should be witty, like a good Eddie Murphy movie, to make your life a little easier and better.
..think about the contradictions and complexities that beset people.
I felt my heart expanding, making room for him to movie in permanently.
