I'm a weird big guy. Doing rapping, doing movies. Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way.

I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.

There really are three types of 'religious' movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.

I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.

I am a filmmaker. That is all I've ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food.

Why be boring? Have some fun. Rock shows should be like movies: I don't go to a movie hoping it'll change my life.

Even if we die at 100, we're still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There's a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I'm not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

Before I'd written movies, I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.

My interest in film is sort of catholic - apart from science fiction and horror movies, I'll watch almost everything.
