So many films end up being filmed in London or in the same places over and over again.
I almost wish we would've filmed a whole fake tampon commercial around ["I'm With Her"].
Certainly Amadeus because it was a very powerful time for me, we filmed it in the Czech Republic at a time of lots of social and political change going on in that part of the world.
I've made many documentaries, but prostitution was the hardest in terms of gaining the trust of the people being filmed.
Detroit 1-8-7' - the numbers are police slang for murder - is filmed in that blue-collar Michigan city, providing a flavor of authenticity. Detroit offers a unique visual landscape that tells the story of the city and what it's been through.
It was also great shooting in London at Pinewood Studios because of all its history. So many of the 007 movies were filmed there, as well as classics by everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Jack Nicholson to Martin Scorcese. It's like working on hallowed ground. So, I felt a responsibility to make sure I did as good a job as I possibly could.
I remember Berlin. Berlin to me was the star of the film. I loved for six months that we filmed there.
I was only 11 when we filmed the pilot. The idea of a rapper being a star on a sitcom just wasn't heard of.
If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.
People are so used to having their lives filmed, they're not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear.
I don't really like to be filmed.
Almost all movie scripts contain material that cannot be filmed.
The concept of Who Am I is following me around from 2001 to 2005, I filmed high quality videos but never really serviced them to the television so I saved those and I knew that would be an incentive for the fans.
I remember doing one day of work, and I was so good I ended up doing 25 days on that movie. And all of it ended up on the editing room floor. That was my first Hollywood lesson: Just because you filmed a movie doesn't necessarily mean that you're in it.
When I direct and have to look at filmed scenes of myself, I suck.
When every moment is constantly being filmed, it’s hard to relax.
We did this two-week boot camp before we filmed the movie. I got to know everybody in the group and we became friends. We got really tight throughout those two weeks.
I am never happy with what I do, so I try not to watch stuff that is filmed with me in it because I am always like, "Oh, I could have done that a little bit better," or, "I could have done that differently - that riff could have been a little better. "
When I first filmed things, they were always slightly awkward.
I'm a sucker for interiors and carefully, beautifully filmed people sitting in a big room. My appetites are simple.
