Death in the horror movies is when the monsters get you.
When I was at the age when you were supposed to be glamorous if you were a movie star, I wasn't.
I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.
There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.
Tim Burton is underrated. I loved Big Fish, loved that movie, think it's the best movie of the year, hands down. Really impressed with that.
In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.
Americans just don't know what being a movie star's all about.
The 'Beavis and Butt-head' movie was just a movie-length version of the TV show.
If you're lucky, you go from being a movie fan to a movie maker.
I could never be a movie star and get up at 7:30 to be at someone else's studio.
Some of the biggest movie stars in the world are essentially characters.
When I watch a movie, I don't make a sound or move. The more I'm into the movie, the more bored I look.
I would agree 'Paul' is a sci-fi genre movie. And a road movie.
If you're working on a movie, you want it to be projected on the largest tapestry possible, and the sound to be perfect, and for that kind of communal experience of the movies to take place for it.
I've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful.
Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.
Movies are such an integral part of American culture. We're so spread out in this country, and movies offer us a chance to come together and have a communal experience.
My dad is into movies, and they let me watch movies. I was obsessed with Monty Python when I was in preschool - I don't know why.
My dad took me to my first movie. It was 'The Greatest Show on Earth' in 1952, a movie of such scale it was actually a traumatic experience.
Sometimes I test myself saying, 'If I get a death sentence if I don't make this movie, would I still make this movie?'
I think there is a feeling of old Hitchcock in there. There are parts that are tributes to some of the old great horror movies and the old great filmmakers.
