As much as I love movies, it would be presumptuous of me to think that I know how to make one.
The same sensations that you get in heavy metal are in horror movies. Heavy metal sounds evil and horror movies are evil, ha ha!
Every Harry Potter film features Lord Voldemort, who stereotypes evil. And movies that discriminate against evil have no place on campus, because evil has feelings, too. Terrorists cry during commercials and mad bombers enjoy long walks and campfires, too.
Obviously, movies don't almost ever shoot in sequence.
I do love the films I've done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we're trying to make people laugh and I'm very proud of that.
I'm really lucky because I found myself in a position where I can do whatever I want to do. I can make records, produce records, make movies, or I can do nothing. I'm not a slave to the dollar.
When I was a kid going into the movies, you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.
There are no good and bad movies, only good and bad directors
As it turns out, it's really expensive to make movies, much more than records.
People aren't interested in paying $10 or $12 to go to the movies and to be lectured to politically. I'm not either. So I don't try to make those kinds of films.
The only movies I saw till I was 17 were made by Disney. My parents had this thing. Disney was like, you know, "Ford is a good car. Disney makes good movies that are good for kids and safe. "
I don't really mind playing tabloid monster. I always liked those characters in the old movies.
I can't watch my movies and get into them because as soon as I see myself I get taken out of the film.
I can't watch the news. It's extremely unsettling. Certain people can be a little desensitized because of movies, and I'm totally a part of that world, so I understand. But when you're actually seeing what's happening, you can't help but be a little affected.
People love conversation, and movies are conversations, and an audience has to participate; it has to fill in some blanks.
When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family's car at the drive-in.
I don't really want to do the Hollywood thing, I think you ought to try to say something with your movies.
It's definitely a difficult thing to capture and I mean, I've seen a ton of movies where I've believed the couple and I've seen a ton of movies where I have not believed them at all. Unfortunately, as an audience member, you check out if you don't believe them.
The great movies that I want to do now are being made for $2. 5-million budgets.
I'm the worst at picking what movies are going to do well. I have no idea. I'm really surprised if a movie I like does well.
