As an actor, I'm always playing solitary characters. But as a director, I'm always making ensemble movies, which focus on lots of people's lives and how they intertwine.
I don't think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman, not a movie. You can't kiss a movie.
When we did the pilot, I sort of pictured this guy pirating a signal and then this story unfolding of him building this satellite and these robots and watching these bad movies.
I've followed Gary Oldman his whole career... I've watched the movies he's directed, like 'Nil by Mouth' - I've seen that five times!
In all of the movies and films you see, people are always in crisis because that's what we watch. We watch them deal with crisis and resolve it.
I'd like to direct myself but I'm a cinephile and I also would like to just step behind the camera and be on the other end of making movies.
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.
