There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible.
I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.
I went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.
I don't think movies or television have any basis in reality at all. It's all just pretend. That's what's fun about it.
I am a huge zombie fan. I have probably seen the George Romero movies 100 times each, without exaggeration.
I feel like we're going to see a lot more movies that mix documentary style with fiction, more along the lines of 'District 9.'
Most Australians who've got an ear can do an American accent because we grow up listening to them on television and in movies.
A lot of people who saw 'The Avengers' didn't read comic books, don't like comic book movies, and enjoyed it. That was huge for me.
Movies were always the goal, but I had a lot of goals. Twelve-year-old me wanted to do everything: act and sing and paint and dance.
When I was younger, I always did movies that teenagers would watch, not adults. I did 'Crazy/Beautiful' or comedies like 'Bring It On.'
If Judd Apatow called me, I'd do it without thinking about it. I think he does really fun movies.
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films.
I still haven't quite caught on to the idea of writing without dialogue. I like writing dialogue, and there's nothing wrong with dialogue in movies.
So I know how I watch movies which is on my laptop, man. And that's how I suspect a lot of people do it.
I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.
'Hairspray' was a show I was involved in from the very first reading, and I was 19. And, 'Hairspray', was one of my favorite movies growing up.
There are definitely strictly independent movies. 'Gummo' is one. Another is one I made, 'Fresh,' a $3 million movie which Boaz Yakin directed.
Everything I know about the FBI came from movies! Right? The idea of these kind of uptight, conservative guys whose ties are tied too tight.
The first Disney movie I saw I think was 'Snow White.' I loved all the Disney princess movies.
I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.
I'm definitely interested in doing movies. I've always focused more on acting than singing because that's where my true passion lies.
