And like everybody else, I like the Rocky movies, but if you look at them again you can see all the misses, but the intensity of it, but that wasn't what this is.
As a kid, I liked the 'Halloween' movies and 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and all that kind of stuff. But as an adult, I really don't watch much horror, to be honest.
The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story based on who's embodying it.
Well, acting has been a dream of mine since I can remember; being in the movies and acting, having those experiences.
I play drums and guitar, I snowboard, I do martial arts and acrobatics. I go to the movies every Friday.
Everybody has their own style. If you went to the movies every week and everybody acted the same way Tom Cruise did, boy, wouldn't that suck?
People come up to me all the time in New York. Not for autographs, but to talk about movies, often in a very scientific way.
I still can't get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the 'New Yorker.' Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times.
I'm not mad about movies, there are too many people involved in the making of them, and they lack a definitive creative focus.
I was lucky that audiences in Mexico liked my work. I was even luckier when I got to do movies and plays with my brothers.
I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.
Woody Allen movies notwithstanding, therapy, in the early eighties, was not exactly a hot conversation starter. Nor was it a favoured activity for dysfunctional couples or suffering individuals.
I spent a long time working in the movies to figure out that kind of acting and also how to write and produce for the screen.
I'm relaxed about my career. I've been making movies for over 20 years, so I've earned at least the right to relax.
I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.
Movies are in a much longer production conversation before an actor is even involved. I always thought of actors as the last piece of the puzzle - so you're a tool.
Who said that being Latino is to be a stereotype? Characters are stereotypes when making plans or without shades. I do not believe in the picture or model established in the movies.
Some disaster movies look like you're watching someone else play video games. They're fun but it's not real.
I don't want to see the zipper in the back of the monster suit. Like everybody else who goes to the movies, I want to believe the monster is real.
Because I was a champion swimmer in Canada, they're always trying to get me in the water in movies! I've drawn the line now with this film. No more water!
I don't think movies can ever be too intense, but people have to understand why you're showing them the things you are showing them.
