I started making movies in 1977, and I didn't even think about the idea that I would ever be on a television show. Once I finished the 'Guiding Light,' I was like, 'I'm done with television!'
We need Hollywood to make movies and television shows about sexy female engineers.
I have tried to show the influence of folk music in Bollywood, in Tamil movies, in Telugu cinema.
'Terminator' is one of my favorite movies.
I love stories like 'The Terminator' movies and 'The Matrix,' where our machines become self-aware and turn on us.
There's a thing with genre movies and science fiction movies that number two is the charmed; two seems to be the best. I loved 'Terminator 2.'
When you do movies on low budgets, you don't want to have a location that requires a very big light right outside the window when you're 10 stories up. You have to find a location where you have a terrace outside, or you can light from a second floor, or you can light through the windows for daylight.
To me, movies are books. They are texts to be consulted.
Thirty-five percent of all my dates were at the movies from 2013 to 2014.
I define 'social thriller' as thriller/horror movies where the ultimate villain is society.
I like crime thrillers. I like heist movies.
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
I look at the Christian Bale movies, the 'Batman' films, and that shows you that superhero movies don't just have to be about men in tights.
There are not many A-list directors who get to make the movies they want to make. I know two: Woody Allen and Tim Burton. Two different textures, but both get to do what they want, and that's rare.
My favorite movies are from directors that have a vision, like Wes Anderson or Tim Burton.
In cartoons, in movies, time passes differently. There are flashbacks and flashfowards.
'Clash Of The Titans' is one of the biggest movies I've done; it was certainly the most effects I've worked with.
I thought that there might be something unsatisfying about directing two Tolkien movies after 'Lord of the Rings.' I'd be trying to compete with myself and deliberately doing things differently.
I'm a student of the movies. I'm a student of all media. This is what I do, and I like to immerse myself in what's current and what's topical. And I find that I'm drawn to those things.
Sinatra, here's a guy who plays a tough guy in all his movies, but was allowed to be vulnerable when he stepped up to the microphone.
