I always leave that for other people to decide because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people's favorite movies. And that's what I like so much is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.

In terms of the romantic kind of lead I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be for me an oxymoron.

I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.

Movies were never an art form they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there and it's still evolving in different ways.

I was never into the popular school or clique or anything. Then I started doing movies when I was in high school so then I got popular. Then the girls paid attention to you who didn't before.

Very often when I go in to meet for movies or pilots I'm put on videotape. I hate the notion that that tape is going to sit on a shelf and never get better.

It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.

When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget.

A lot of the struggle I had with movies is I really loved moments and tones and feelings in a scene and I loved creating those but I never really had great stories to string them together.

My children have never watched any of my films. Charlie knows that daddy makes movies but he says they are not good enough for him to watch.

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared but I never was.

I don't know what it was maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank but I never saw what would be considered A movies.

My dream role would probably be a psycho killer because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also it's incredibly romantic.

I can be in 20 movies. But I'll never be an actor.

I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I'm attracted to this genre and that genre this type of story and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before.

And I believe that you never be limited in what you do so I like to do movies I like to do television.
