It is really cool to have created a movie that has turned out to become the biggest movie of the year.

I think movies glamorize violence in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny.

David Lynch and I almost made a movie together in the late '80s. We had lots of dinners and lunches. He's a very cool hip guy. This film let's face it is like an homage to him I would imagine he'd find it funny.

The frustrating part of it is that you're generally known for what you did last. I've had the privilege of doing some very cool independent films that a lot of the time the general public doesn't see unless you're at a film festival or you're into that kind of movie.

Like I said about Freaked people tend to find these films and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.

I even knew some of the dialogue but it was definitely cool to look at. We always argue that the movies should be loyal but in this case I could argue that it might have been too loyal.

In a daydream sort of way I think it would be pretty cool to direct a movie. But I have been on movie and TV sets and know it is hard work. I like directing it in my mind. It is easier.

I have been a huge nerd to my kids. I haven't done the cool movies that they like. With '24 ' I gained a lot of respect. '24' is now it's hip it's their generation.

People always come up to me now and say 'Watchmen' is the best superhero movie ever made.' I'm always saying 'That's super cool. That's nice of you to say.' But it happens now more and more and more than it did when it first came out.

It's really hard for actors to cross over and get any respect as a singer and if I could just keep it separate and not use my music in movies it's cool.
