I like movies that leave you with something to think about, to discuss, to debate, you know?
Every year I hear people complain that the quality of screenplays and movies is declining. In my opinion, the vast majority of scripts written - as well as most movies that are released - are not very original, well-written, or interesting. It has al...
In my opinion, the vast majority of scripts written - as well as most movies that are released - are not very original, well-written, or interesting. It has always been that way, and I think it always will be.
Most movies are lucky to have one moment, one shot that you look at and you always remember that moment and that scene.
My goal is just to make movies, whether they're big or small, that I'd like to see 10 years from now.
Looking at acting, in the movies or the theater, and the way I like to look at it, it's just an extension of childhood play... Kids play and imagine in a very intense fashion and they don't need any director telling them, 'You really have to believe ...

If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.
If my films make one more person miserable, I'll feel I have done my job.
When you mutilate movies for mass media, you tamper with the hearts and minds of America.
I have a day job. I can make movies when I want to.
Movies are fun, but they're not a cure for cancer.
When I saw Arnold say that he didn't need a union, because people in his position don't need it, I thought, this is a very naive way to present yourself. It's also kinda dumb about making movies. It doesn't realize how the union movement even helps t...
New forms of media - first movies, then television, talk radio and now the Internet - tend to challenge traditional codes of conduct. They flout convention, shake up the status quo and sometimes provoke outrage.
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
There's nothing better than going to the movies and going into another world, and forgetting about everything that's happening outside.
