I don't think of it as a competition - which might surprise you given the way movies are reported constantly.

The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day.

It's fun to go to the movies and be scared.

I've been in enough movies to know that when you're on the set and you start shooting you're looking at playback and you get a sense of what it's going to be like.

I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors on small movies and big movies.

James Cagney Steve McQueen I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.

All that running around in my underwear put money in my pockets. I can focus on working in interesting movies without having to worry about supporting myself.

And anyway it's only movies. to stop me I think they'll ahve to shoot me in the head.

When you kill somebody in the movies it matters whereas in literature it can be allegorical.

When I started doing movies every crew member was older than me.
