I'm not allowed to see R-rated movies, but I did see 'Kick-Ass' because I'm in it. I'm not going to skip out on my own premiere!
I am a big fan of movies from the '70s.
Ultimately, making movies, if you don't have a big star, it's hard to do. Or if it's not a star director.
I rarely see one of the 'summer blockbuster' movies. I'd like to see a stronger focus on smaller, smarter movies.
De Niro was a hero of mine. And Sean Penn. But I've realized I can't operate at that level of intensity. That's okay for movies. On TV, when you live with horror day in and day out, you have to protect yourself.
I took acting classes in college, and once I graduated, I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent, and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys, which was a sitcom...
Scripts don't get movies made.
I'm a big fan of the movies of the '60s, more than a fan of the movies of the '70s.
I have very young looks, so it's easy for me to play high school, but I'm trying to stay away from high-school movies. As I get older, I'll try and broaden my talents.
I'm just glad I've had these opportunities to be geeks in some really awesome movies.
All the movies where I play nice guys don't seem to do very well.
I want to make, like, 8,000 movies.
The fantasy genre is so in at the moment. Viewers want to escape from their lives and watch something that is so separate from their everyday existence. People have always wanted to escape their lives - that's why they go to movies and the theatre.
I was dirt-poor. I could barely hold down a job. Eventually, though, I started getting small parts on shows like 'Smallville,' 'Supernatural'... and lots of really bad sci-fi movies. I was running around the woods in wolf contacts, covered in fake bl...
My place of refuge is definitely watching movies and playing video games. I know that's kind of hard to fathom.
I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.
To be honest, I don't enjoy watching movies much when I'm working. They tend to fall apart on me a bit.
I got to do a whole slew of TV movies playing the bad guy, including an episode of Smallville. That would never have happened if I hadn't done the Stand.
I didn't bring my headphones, I'd watched the two movies they had played and I was just like, 'Can we please find a donor that wants to give us a private jet? This is not Okay.'
Obviously, I'm attracted to heavier movies.
You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other - the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.
