Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.
The financial implode is bound to be reflected in the movies that are being made, there's no question.
I didn't read comic books; that's not something that was really available to me as a child. We watched more cartoons and movies.
To me, the scariest movie ever made to this day is 'The Exorcist.' It still scares the living hell out of me, and it's because of the fantasy element. It's the exorcism. It's the Devil. It's not a guy breaking into your house trying to torture you or...
How would Elvira run the state of California? Well, there isn't much I could do that is worse than what Arnold Schwarzenegger has done. Running it into the damn ground. If I was running the whole nation? I would have free Netflix movies for everyone.
I never really thought about myself being in really big movies at all. In fact, I always though I'd do, I don't know, smaller movies is not quite the right word, but more character-oriented, dramatic things. I took myself a little bit seriously.

Dude, I didn't say Jude Law can't act. I didn't say Jude Law was in bad movies. I just said he's in every movie.
My movies are okay, but they're not my specials.
I've been in so many bad movies and worked with so many bad directors that I go into a film expecting nothing.
Often we'd secretly like to do the very things we discipline ourselves against. Isn't that true? Well, here in the movies I can be as mean, as wicked as I want to - and all without hurting anybody.
I make little movies, you know, they need all the help that they can get.
The fact is, it's hard to release movies.
When you produce and direct, your movies are different to you. They're not just something you act in.
