For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.
Production for movies or TV is very painstaking and slow.
I've only gotten directly offered two or three movies, ever. I don't have the luxury of being able to say no a lot, and I don't really have the luxury of just getting to pick and choose certain things. If I did, I probably would choose even more diff...
I just watch movies I like over and over. It seems to be a lot of sci-fi stuff. My favorites are probably - besides the first two 'Alien' films, I watch '2001', I watch 'Star Wars', the first ones, because those actually had a huge effect on me as we...
Christopher Guest movies are my top of the line favorites.
The real achievement of Woody Allen was that he was making movies that felt very personal, and for a whole group of people, it spoke to them. Then he became an archetype, like Groucho Marx or Chaplin.
Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.
I think all my movies are about transitions to some degree.
I made two movies very young, and then I had trouble getting a movie made, and so - which was both, I think, a plus and a minus. It was a minus because it made me unhappy.
Woody Allen's movies are so much a part of me. I grew up watching them over and over and would read all his comic pieces for the New Yorker. In some ways, his influence is so much there that I can't even locate it any more.
I can't bear to see myself even in movies. The feeling is complex. I can't stand the sight of myself.
If beautiful movies can influence you to go out and hug your children, then we have to be honest and say that other movies can inspire you to do bad things.
I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you're really going about it the wrong way.
I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to, but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.
I do enjoy animated movies.
I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.
I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.
The movies I cannot go without and that I watch annually are 'A Clockwork Orange,' 'Scarface' and 'Fantasia.'
I do like to move and get physical in my movies.
I have eclectic tastes in the movies I want to do.
I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.
