I would love to do a 'Vicky Donor' kind of movie.

If it's a good part in a good movie, I'll do it.

If you are still thinking about a script after five or ten years, that's a sign that it's good - not that it's stale. And the opposite is true - if everyone wants to make your movie, that's a sign...

Everyone looks at our films and thinks that we are somehow able to make movie after movie that does well and is entertaining, but there's an enormous amount of work that goes on under the hood and an...

Other than Peter Jackson doing 'Lord of the Rings,' I don't get it when filmmakers follow up a movie with a sequel to the same movie. God bless 'em if they can be up for it, but that would drive me...

The indie movie world is like a bad Tinder date, and there are always strings attached.

My favorite film is 'The Dinner of Cons,' a French movie.

My first movie was with Mike Nichols.

My mandate to myself since I've been involved in these movies was 'make every single movie different, so there's never 'X-Men' fatigue.'

'G.I. Joe' is a $200 million movie. The makeup trailer was as big as my house! It was a whole other different production. It blows me away. I'm just going, 'Wow, I'm in that.'

I'm not a real movie star. I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.

You take some creative license when you make a movie, and things can be a little bit different.

If you think of movie studio executives, say, as society, then I root for the independent producers.

To shoot a movie that takes place in three decades in 30 days is a lot on the hair and make-up team.

When you make a movie, you know you're making a long-form thing, so the visuals are different than for a video where it has to be more obvious or in your face, I think, a little bit.

Well I don't think sex and violence have ever stopped a movie from being mainstream.

In terms of specific cinematic influences, certainly I'd recommend 'Juan de los Muertos,' and I also really love this French zombie movie - 'Les Revenants' - where the dead reanimate for no apparent...

I just love being on a movie set. I like making movies.

When I did 'Hot Fuzz,' I tried to get Barbara Steele in the movie, but I was told she had retired.

The more I see of the movie business, the less I understand about it. I have no idea what goes on with that stuff.

If I am part of a movie, the character I handle should make sense to me at first and should also be convincing to the audiences, in terms of casting.

My favorite movie villain? Oh, that's easy. Hannibal Lecter.

If I make a happy, happy movie one day, I'll think it's dull.

Any time you do a movie, there are going to be war wounds that you end up getting.

When my daughter asks, 'What do you do?', every movie I have a different answer. As she grows, she wants more explanations.

Are Christians too stupid that we can't write a script, we can't film a movie OR we don't know how to act?

I always think that I'm not going to be right for a movie or that there's someone else who can do it better.

You win an Oscar, and the movie that comes after that is always going to be compared.

I saw 'The Shining' in eighth grade. I watched it on VHS at a sleepover and was petrified, totally petrified. And I didn't really start to digest the movie properly and understand it from a filmmaking...

A movie of mine is going to be released in Japan next year. I play a waitress who's a really regular girl in this movie. The English title isn't decided yet, but in Japanese it's I'll Get on the A...
