Honestly, I just like to make movies. The funnier the better.
In my career, my movies tend to polarize critics.
I was very, very inspired [by movies].
I really don't know where the independent fits in anymore when twenty-five million dollar movies are considered straight-to-video fare. We're like penny postage stamps.
I'm the person who writes most of my movies so every role is exactly what I want to be doing.
I don't want to move over to Beverly Hills. My goal is to make the movies I want to make and support the people I want to support. That's it.
Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.
It didn't matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies.
Making scary movies and creating tension is very technical and it require a lot of coverage. It requires the stretching of time.
For me, it's very important if I do action movies and I have a stunt person, to work with them. Not only by memorizing the choreography but also it's important to study that individual and it's imperative for that individual to study you because you're not playing two different people, you're playing the same person.
Well, we look for sources of inspiration in pop culture in general. It's very important for us that, when it comes to storytelling, we don't look into other video games. We'd rather look into other mediums - movies, television series and books - for sources of inspiration.
I've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.
They're innocent movies, and they're fun movies and there were no pretensions about 'em.
OK, the director makes the movie. But some movies can't get made without someone like me in them.
I think violence has always been popular, way before movies started being made.
I just got an iPhone, which is cool, but I don't download movies, I don't watch Hulu, I don't have Netflix. I don't do any of that. But I do geek out to music.
I've worked with pythons and such in a couple of movies, and I had to wrangle around, but I was okay. Still, if I'm out in the country or something, I'm still spooked by them.
The comics of course, help the movies, because all of the comic fans want to see the movies. And the most amazing thing about it is these movies seem to appeal to young people, to old people, and to people all over the world. They're as popular in China and Latin America as they are here. That's really amazing and gratifying.
Movies are not a growth business.
Life ain't the movies.
