Movies are very subjective.
For me, horror movies are a real escape.
Where the material is, that's where you go. I'm a workman: I go to work. I've done movies for nothing, literally nothing; I did 'Last I Heard' for next to nothing.
Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.
To me, movies are valuable as an art form and as a wonderful means of popular entertainment. But I think movies have gone terribly wrong.
I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.
We need more extreme movies in Sweden. Personal projects that are necessarily made for a bigger audience. I think it creates a creative lock-up to have the audience as a goal.
I write pretty often. I have a home studio. Music is what I do for fun. I never get tired of it, so to take a break from [TV and movies], I would go make some music.
I never really understood how movies were made, because it was such a technical accomplishment.
I always wanted to make movies.
I love horror movies in space. I love it when the genre switches over and what was sci-fi becomes horror.
I make decisions to do movies based on the cast. I'd just been working with Zach [Galifianakis] on The Hangover, and I was thinking, I've got to find something to do with this guy immediately.
I thought about making movies. It hit me when I was about 14, 15 years old.
Advertising. The movies do it. TV does it. Why don't you do it?
In my personal life I'm very conservative. I've been married to the same person for nearly 50 years, I'm scrupulous about paying bills, avoiding debt. I'm very careful. But as an actor I'm pretty reckless. I've done a lot of things that, when I see myself on screen, I have to shut my eyes. And I've made a whole bunch of movies that nobody sees, including me.
If there's anything to learn from the history of movies, it's that corruption leads to further corruption, not to innocence.
The world is really heading in a very dangerous direction, it becomes that much more valuable and important to go to the movies and see human beings that are human beings.
I've done a lot of things I cringe when I watch and some things I'm proud of. . . Movies are strange. You have to be a little bit lucky with them.
Kurt Russell is amazing. He's really nice. He's really funny. He's really professional, and it's great to see him work and to see someone who's done so many movies and who's so down to earth, it's great. I feel really lucky.
Hollywood has to appeal to the broadest audience, and when it comes to most social and economic issues, America is progressive. Because of that, the messages that are in Hollywood movies tend to be, for instance, pro-environment.
