A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures, and things like that.
Why movies are so powerful is because you are right in there and you stay in there until they want you to come out, and then you've really gone somewhere.
For very long, I wasn't able to find a place for myself in movies. After my initial success, I didn't know how to capitalise on it.
I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies.
Even when I was a little kid, I always said I would be in the movies one day, and damned if I didn't make it.
There is evil prowling in the world - it shows up in our movies, video games and online fascinations, and finds its way into vulnerable hearts and minds.
I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.
I've made movies that nobody saw initially, and then, all the sudden, people over the years pick up on it. Like 'Spinal Tap' and 'Princess Bride.'
When I can't sleep, I'll start thinking about how many shows I've done, count up the number of television shows and movies.
Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished.

I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
Just to get a job is always really exciting to me. I do feel there's a lot left for me to learn about movies, the subtleties of acting.
There's a kind of dream that movies sell to people: You can start as the lowliest person and rise to the top. 'Hit Me' doesn't sell this fantasy.
I like telling stories, I like movies, and I want to work on films. I think I would feel safer behind the camera.
I'm actually pretty afraid of scary movies, so I can't watch them at night, but I am a fan during the daytime!
I would just die if some little girl saw me jump into bed with someone in the movies, and then she did it and got AIDS and died.
That's the other thing about working on movies, the commitment is years. That's one thing that's so frustrating about the process is that it goes on and on and on for years.
The way we tell our stories on stage is that we use spoken word to convey action, and in movies, we use visual images to convey action.
My roles don't centre around drugs at all! Shadiness is different - it's drama. We're making movies! You've gotta have conflict.
I have a checklist of things I'd like to do in movies. One of them is get possessed. Die on a deathbed with a ghostly pallor - that's on my list.
