I like the old, classic scary movies. I love 'Psycho,' 'The Sixth Sense,' and 'Poltergeist.'
My movies are usually about stripping off the makeup, getting down to the skeleton.
I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.
I don't feel genres have helped me as an actor. Movies can be of any genre. But if you give me slapstick, I may not do it.
I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies.
Psychological horror I've always appreciated, like 'Rosemary's Baby.' The slasher movies and the grotesque movies are the ones that I've really been off for a while.
I like zombie movies, and I like genre movies a lot. To watch. Less so to make, I think. But I grew up on that stuff. I would just grow up watching a lot of horror movies, a lot of slasher movies and then zombie movies.
I love horror comedies, and I love horror movies. In particular, I love horror movies from the '80s that have practical monsters in them. They're not just slasher movies with people going to kill people in people's houses. Although I do like 'The Last House on the Left,' and things like that, I do like these ridiculous monster movies.
I don't personally like slasher movies that make you scream in the movie theater.
Like all kids who want to be in action movies, I want to jump out of a speeding car, shoot guns, slide out the side in slow motion like a John Woo movie.
'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' is one of the greatest films of all time.
I remember I was in my ninth grade, and I was smitten by Sushmita Sen, the way she carried herself, her interviews, and, of course, her movies.
I always, always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that, when I got a mini-series, I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.
I think being snobby about the kind of storytelling people do, it just irks me. It irks me. And in fact, it's one of the things that drives me to make as many horror movies as I do.
I'm not snobby about my movies; I just love all films.
My Christmas wish would be to have an entire week off. To spend it with my family and just curl up and watch Christmas movies when it's snowing outside.
For so many people, television and movies may be the only way they understand people who aren't like them.
The use of violence in movies is a subject that's worth addressing. I'm not standing on a soapbox or wagging a finger, but I'm interested in those subjects for sure.
Before 'Schindler's List,' I wouldn't have believed movies had a lot of power for social change.
My favorite movies growing up were things like 'The Wizard of Oz,' but as I got older, I really began to admire people like Steven Soderbergh.
