I once had a friend who did the hair for sci-fi movies, and after a particularly bad break-up I stupidly went to her salon and told her she could do anything she liked. She dyed the bottom cherry red and the top peroxide blonde.
3-D movies can make me nauseous.
I got started as an actress doing musical theater, and I always loved 'Grease' and 'West Side Story,' and all those kind of movies.
When I was a lot younger, my parents raised me watching classic movies.
When I watch movies or TV, I am like, 'Wow that guy is really cute, I really like him,' but I don't really have one person that I would die to go to something with. There are so many hot guys.
In between, I go broke because I seem to do movies where you're not paid a lot as an actor.
There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies.
Well, look at all of these summer blockbusters. You can't help but laugh a little, because you've already seen a lot of these movies 482 times.
I choose movies that I think will speak to what's important.
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
Hal Holbrook was in one of my first television movies when I was about 18 or 19. He'd made such a strong impression on me and a lasting one in terms of what being an actor was.
Well, I think that when you direct a movie or write it. And in the case of the two movies I did, I wrote and directed, they occupy a special place for you.
America had, for one thing, lived in anarchy for - until much more recently than Europe. We had the Wild West, where the cliche of the cowboy movies was the nearest sheriff is 90 miles away, and so you had to pack a gun and defend yourself.
Well, I was born and raised in the Midwest, in Indiana specifically, and my childhood was full of weekend movies, you know, the Saturday and Sunday popcorn movies.
Well, the wonderful thing about making movies, oddly enough, is that they're sort of highly motivated graduate studies in one or another field.
When you make a film you usually make a film about an idea.
I mean, movies are like your kids or your fingers and toes or something, it's pretty hard to pick favorites.
As a writer, one of the things we all learned from the movies was a kind of compression that didn't exist before people were used to watching films. For instance, if you wanted to write a flashback in a novel, you once had to really contextualize it ...
In the movies, the writer is just the servant, the employee.
I'm not a big fan of there being voiceovers in movies. I really prefer it when the film tells it story.
You know, I put my little brother in the movies and he's still in the pictures. My mother makes me put him in the pictures.
