I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.
In the past I've made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can't really hate them. You can discard them, but you can't really hate them.
I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.
3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies; for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning.
I have been in a lot of movies, but none of them are critics' darlings, you might say.
If you make action movies, the critics will savage you, and then your movies are outdated the following week with the new wave of special effects.
I don't want to speak for my movies; you could say my movies are just completely silly and dumb, but in the case of 'Idiocracy' and 'Borat,' without a doubt there is a really subversive and sophisticated assault on American culture.
'Blazing Saddles' is one of the funniest movies ever made.
There's nothing more American than movies.
It's Will Ferrell, he does Will Ferrell movies. But if you really look at it, he tries to do something different with each one, whether it's an action cop movie like 'The Other Guys' or doing 'Talladega Nights' going into red state America or 'Casa d...
It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise.

Television and movies have short-circuited reality. I don't think a lot of people are entirely clear on what is real and what is on the screen.
I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.
I was fortunate to be able to do two movies with Harold Ramis. He was the kindest of any director with whom I worked. Harold was a genius. On top of his talent, he could do the 'New York Times' crossword puzzle faster than anyone! I am lucky to have ...
I don't go to enough movies.
My children haven't even seen most of my movies.
I never read. The paper or anything. I watch a lot of movies, and TV series and stuff. But I never, never read.
Honestly, after about three years on a show, you're like, 'Thank you very much for giving me a step up. Now can I go do movies?'
I don't go to movies for redemption - if I want that, I'll go to church!
With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.
