I enjoy about 1 out of 100 movies, it's about the same proportion to books published that I care to read.
I like to play guitar, jam out, play the blues, go watch movies. I love movies.
You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world, and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way, in an almost operatic sensibility? Tha...
There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.
Actors are steeped in a world of agents and where the next job is coming from and what are their expenses and what is the hotel like. You want to take them out of that world and dump them into another...
I'm not Michael Moore. I think Michael Moore wants to tell you how to think. He wants to give you answers. I make movies to raise my own personal questions and not to give answers.
There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible.
I don't get it when you get so much openness about the way movies are made, and the special effects and the behind-the-scenes stuff and all of that. I can't help but feel like this reduces it a little...
I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It's wonderful, isn't it?
I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact, I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared, but I never was.

If you're sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that's entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it's the storytelli...
I don't have a lot of patience for movies that aren't cleanly told.
Superhero movies are so famous because of the metaphor that they trigger in one's self about who you could be if things were different.
The 'Twilight' movies are great in their own right, but they certainly don't have any sense of humor to them.
The comic book is not the book. the graphic novel is not the novel. The same, of course, is true of films and television. When we move a story from one medium to another, no matter how faithful we att...
Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, bu...
When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.
All movies aren't fun some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.
