Movies are the shadiest business in the world.
Dreams were the first movies.
I usually do get the tomboy parts in the movies, which is kind of like me, but not totally. I like to shop as much as Ashley, but she is a little more of a girlie-girl than me.
I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.
I began to feel that the drama of the truth that is in the moment and in the past is richer and more interesting than the drama of Hollywood movies. So I began looking at documentary films.
For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.
All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.
To be honest, I don't enjoy watching movies much when I'm working. They tend to fall apart on me a bit.
Not that it entirely matters: There is a perception that all actors make their movies. A lot of people assume you're responsible. George Clooney told me actors get all of the blame and all the credit.
I mean, movies in general tend to sort of portray time, space and identity as these very solid things. Time moves forward. Space is what it is. You are you, and you're always you.
I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half, and since then I've asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That's really my...
I enjoy sports. I get a real joy from playing sports but I don't look for those movies. Oliver Stone wanted to know if I would do Any Given Sunday and it just didn't appeal to me.
You don't want to be photographed? You don't want to be known? Then you don't need to be out there peddling movies.
I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.
I don't make movies thinking: 'Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.'
I like all of the mental, psychological thriller movies too. I enjoy horror movies across the board.
All my movies got screwed up because of my personality.
What I like to do is just make good music, good movies, hopefully perform a good show full of energy and just have some fun.
It was like in Samoa when they'd put up a movie screen on the beach and show movies and the locals would run behind the sheet to see where the people went. It was pretty grim.
I've made movies that we're very successful that we're a complete surprise, and I've made movies that I thought we're going to be very successful that, you know.
