I love drama. Drama is, like, my thing. I want a movie that will move something inside me, that's going to shift something and keep me thinking.
I love thinking of movie stars who could play the characters in the books I write.
I love movies, I love television and I know that the kind of stuff I love to watch and that's what I want to do.
When you're in a movie, they treat you like you're four years old and give you whatever you want.
And that movie was underrated - Nuts - because it deals with a terrible subject, but It's very well done.
I've never done a superhero movie. It's very nice to you as an actor in several worlds to go and to experiment.
I like the movie 'Das Boot,' the German film made in the '80s. I found out it was a series that was made into a film for the U.S.
The 'Tron' fans have a real passion. They know their stuff and what works and why it works. It is more than a movie: it is a philosophy.
You know how both life and porno movies end. The only difference is life starts with the orgasm.
'Looper' was so brilliant, and it took me forever to finally see it, but the way that movie ends and the message behind that is so selfless.
What if Woody Allen called me and said, I'm working on this movie and there's a really divine role for you. We want exactly you! It would be such a fantasy. Forget it! My idol, Woody Allen!
It does not matter what film you're making. If you're young and there's romance in the movie, it's compared to 'Twilight'.
I just remember the early days of Tenacious D. There was no talk or thought about doing a TV show or a movie.
Things get very distorted when you do a movie, weirdly so.
I always fight hard to push a movie to the point where it pulls me.
We're all complex human beings, and if some of that complexity shows through, I think it's advantageous for the movie.
It's really hard to make an original movie of any kind that succeeds in the theatrical market place, in the wide release market place.
We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.
In America there's no way I can make the kind of movie I like to make.
I can't remember ever staying for the end of a movie in which the actors wore togas.
I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.
