When you kill somebody in the movies, it matters, whereas in literature it can be allegorical.
I use to watch like maybe three or four movies, five days out of the week. I was a movie buff, but I really didn't know what it was like behind the scenes, or the whole political process of it.
I've managed to do movies and still keep a lifestyle where I can go to ballgames, go to a grocery store like everybody else.
I don't make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.
I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.
Right now, if you're interested in being a dramatic actor, they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.
I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through.
I was in television drama, which is a first cousin to the movies, and I trust myself to make the right decisions.
The one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable, like taking the kids to movies and theme parks.
I really unfortunately don't have tons of hilarious Sundance stories, because really I am not the biggest fan of hanging out, but the reason why is because I never go see other people's movies and I t...

I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.
The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read - those are important to me. It's very important to me, and I don't know what I would do without those things.
It's like those high-school yearbook photos that everyone would rather not see: Oh my God, look at that mullet hair. I have those photos too, but for me, they're, like, entire movies. And they show th...
Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.
I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.
I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.
Not only do I have to live, right, I have to get some cash for my troubles - it's a scary thing, and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Holly...
