I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.

I made some truly awful movies. 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot' was the worst. If you ever want someone to confess to murder just make him or her sit through that film. They will confess to anything after 15 minutes.

Now, if you are like me - if you are like practically anybody in America - then you probably hold some negative opinions about the French, based upon movies, rumors, recent headlines, unfortunate run-ins with Parisian waiters, or... you know... all that unpleasantness surrounding the Vichy regime.

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'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies.

I love horror, I love scary movies, I love thrillers. If things creep you out and spook you? I love it.

Although charismatic, James Dean is no Harrison Ford. In the majority of his movies, sooner or later he got the crap beaten out of him.

I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that.

I think it's more interesting to see people who don't feel appropriately. I relate to that, because sometimes I don't feel anything at all for things I'm supposed to, and other times I feel too much. It's not always like it is in the movies.

A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
