The only thing I can't do is hear. I can drive I have a life with four kids I work on TV I do movies so the deafness question is it that they want to know because what? Not sure.

I've kind of come to the conclusion that what passes for realism in movies has nothing to do with reality and that my stuff is more realistic than that.

The music led to the acting. But movies aren't something you can just will yourself into. Someone has to choose you and you have to be quite fortunate to be chosen.

I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I'm a movie buff.

Well getting behind the camera is something I've always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like 'Zathura' I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge.

I go to the movies at least five times a week and after a while everything becomes a blur to me.

You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.

I've always been a movie guy movies have been my thing. I love movies all kinds of movies.

I'm a movie nut. I go to the movies probably twice a week and if I'm not doing anything at night I'm usually watching a movie or two.

I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

On radio and television magazines and the movies you can't tell what you're going to get. When you look at the comic page you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.

I just love movies so suddenly you're political about movies and that's dark. It's just not fun when something you love becomes calculated.

You're basically the sum of all the experiences you've ever had and they're sort of shaken up in you and reproduced in the things you create and that includes seeing movies.

If military movies were automatically successful we'd make nothing but military movies. But seriously patriotism is one thing that all Americans have in common.

With the CGI suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion.

I missed out on everything. Sometimes on the street I see teenagers hanging out and going to the movies going to concerts and I get so jealous.

The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.

My bar for being successful is being able to do movies that really mean something to me and being able to make a living off of that.

You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb it's kind of what these movies are all about.

I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.

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

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