People sometimes say the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal.
Of all the movies I've done in my life, the one where I play a crazy awful psycho woman finds me my husband.
The first movie I did was 'Dan in Real Life,' which was directed by Peter Hedges, the same director who did 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.'
My belief is that no movie, nothing in life, leaves people neutral. You either leave them up or you leave them down.
Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.
Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.
I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner.
Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.
Well, I think that people are smart enough to understand the difference between a movie and real life.
I'm sure the movie industry is going up but I would love to see more Chinese films about contemporary Chinese about the problems of life on the street.
If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility.
That character called 'Robin Wright' in the movie called 'The Congress' has nothing to do with me... I've never felt that way about life choices, career, etc.
For 15 years I did two to three movies a year, sometimes four. I didn't get to spend time building my personal life.
In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can't control a nine-year-old girl.
We all know guys who've had their hearts broken in real life; we just don't usually see it in the movies.
Movies can provide tear-inducing or comically-entertaining representations of love, but many agree that its deeper conflicting complexities often seem unfathomable.
They spend an awful lot of money on I-don't-know-what in Hollywood movies; I certainly didn't get any of it. But they sure do love spending money.
My favorite types of movies to watch as a viewer are thrillers - I really have a soft spot for them, I love them. Especially psychological thrillers.
It's very difficult to judge yourself. Extreme self-doubt is only attractive when it's fictionalized. Which is why people love the movies. They are so reassuring.
I always laugh because people assume I love horror because I do a horror movie, but I'm not a huge horror fan.
I do love horror movies, but I'm not the kind of guy who would dress up as a ghoul for Halloween. I might go as a member of the Blue Man Group.
