I have done many movies that people hadn't seen. 'The Fountain ' I spent a year on that. 'The Prestige' with Chris Nolan and 'Australia.' From my perspective it's very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don't. 'Wolverine ' 'X Men ' I know that in some level people know me just for that and it's fine for me.

I'm doing 'Les Miserables ' the movie. I've done a lot of musicals and a lot of movies and I know there are not a lot of people in Hollywood who have been down those two paths so I've been like 'Come on let's do a movie/musical.'

I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.

I've seen many many movies over the years and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.

My whole life has been movies and religion. That's it. Nothing else.

Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends church school church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.

The next thing I knew I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.

Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

I think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.

Movies are very subjective.

I'm used to watching old movies of myself.

I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.

Movies are like magic tricks.

Not only do I have to live right I have to get some cash for my troubles - it's a scary thing and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

I'm obsessed with zombies. I like watching zombie movies and I read zombie books.

I'm not bragging but my movies have grossed well over a billion dollars.

My movies are okay but they're not my specials.

Dude I didn't say Jude Law can't act. I didn't say Jude Law was in bad movies. I just said he's in every movie.

Movies have takes. But plays are like life - you don't really get takes.

Right now my job is that I'm like an ambulance chaser. I've got to look for movies with white guys falling out of them.

Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way.

In life and in movies it's a similar challenge where you have expectations and you end up in situations that are not meeting your expectations.

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.
