If you're fighting with your boyfriend, you can go to the movies and cry it out and leave happy because the ending of the film is happy.
A cinema villain essentially needs a moustache so he can twiddle with it gleefully as he cooks up his next nasty plan.
I've only seen a couple horror movies in my lifetime. I don't like the ones that make you scream out in terror.
I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.
I've worked a lot. I don't like to watch myself. I don't go to the movies unless I have to go to the premiere.
When you make successful movies, everyone on set takes care of you, everybody is so nice and you disconnect from reality.
Jesus is a half-naked guy, hanging, nailed to a cross, and then people wear that around their neck, and then those are the people that are upset about violence in movies.
I don't often see the movies I'm in; I'm usually disappointed in myself and it only serves to make me self-conscious.
My whole game plan was to direct movies. I knew if I made a reputation in theater, I would get offers.
The first two movies I directed failed, when I was 21 and 23, and that was the greatest thing that could have happened.
James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.
I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.
I'm in a play on Broadway, I have an animated TV show coming up, I have a few movies that just came out.
I'd rather do a lot of movies than a TV series and do a lot of different roles than be stuck in one TV thing.
Actors are really working with bodies, with their minds, and with their emotions. Feelings, basically. That's what movies are about, going from one feeling to another.
Mainstream animated movies are dumbed-down and sanitised: they make the world in their own image rather than exploring the limitless possibilities that are out there.
I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.
I like boxing movies. One of the hardest things for me to watch as far as boxing films, is the boxing. The actual boxing usually sucks.
I think for some reason we're conditioned in movies that the protagonist must be heroic or redeemable in some way, whereas in theater, that's not a necessary.
I've never understood the cult of Hitchcock. Particularly the late American movies... Egotism and laziness. And they're all lit like television shows.
The difference between movies and TV is that in TV you have to have a trauma every week, but that event may not be the biggest event in the characters' lives.
