My daughter, Asia, has been in many of my movies. I love working with her. In the beginning, I was not supportive of her being an actress, but now I think she is fantastic.
My very favorite costumed character I've played would be Abe Sapien from the 'Hell Boy' movies. I love this guy.
If you lived in a provincial town like Torre Annunziata, where there was nothing to do in the evening but go to the movies with your friends, the cinema was a world of fantasy. I had always been in love with it.
I love the idea of a movie hero in a thriller who is able to get ahead by just his brilliance, and not with a gun or by being an action hero.
I love doing kind of more kiddish-oriented movies, but I also love doing adult things. And I think it's fun to do a mix.
Horror movies have never been my thing. I love psychological thrillers like 'The Exorcist', 'The Shining', even though they scare the living daylights out of me.
You ought to love what you're doing because, especially in a movie, over time you really will start to hate it.
You know what I've kind of come to realize is that I'm a huge Drew Barrymore rom-com fan. There are so many of her movies that I love.
I used to love Kapil Dev and, like any schoolboy, wanted to become a cricketer till I started dreaming of making movies.
People really love 'Madea' movies and get a kick out of them. They're phenomenally successful. People get excited when a new one's coming out.
I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.
My father and I used to watch movies all the time. That was our bonding time, so that's when I kind of fell in love with acting.
I love the 'Underworld' movies because the vampires aren't automatically evil, yet neither are they basically humans with fangs.
I don't have real big aspirations to be a movie star. I would love to be on a long-running hit TV show. You end up playing a defining role.
The movie says, You can lose your job and your way and still rescue yourself. 'Larry Crowne' creates a self-excavated utopia, and I love that idea, that message.
The storytelling in a movie is in the cut; it's in the edit. It's not an actor's job, really. Your job is such a tiny little thing, and I love the feeling of juggling or tightrope walking.
Well, anytime I make a movie, I like to load it up with more things than you could ever catch on the first viewing.
If you're a big Hollywood star, you make one movie a year at the most. I can make five in Europe.
'Up in the Air' is not a political movie. It won't be mistaken for either a Michael Moore or Any Rand polemic on capitalism.
As a professional, it pains me to watch a movie that is botched and amateurish. I prefer directors who have control of both their craft and their ideas.
I was on a game show and now I'm the game show girl who got a movie. That's how I consider myself.
