The guy that made me wanna make movies... and this is off the wall-is a guy named Michael Pal the British director.
I'm not Michael Moore. I think Michael Moore wants to tell you how to think. He wants to give you answers. I make movies to raise my own personal questions and not to give answers.
I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke I'm not going to make a Haneke film. That's just not in my DNA.
So from a very young age my mom tells me that I wanted to be Michael J. Fox. I didn't want to be an actor. I just wanted to be Michael J. Fox for awhile. And then I realized that he was an actor so I pursued that.
My earliest memory is seeing Michael Jackson in Melbourne with my sister when I was about ten. I still have this souvenir stick with a glove that would light up and make a peace sign in a bunch of different colors. I'm so happy my mom didn't throw that out.
I probably wouldn't be singing if not for Michael Jackson. When I started singing I didn't like my tone until my mom put me on to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder so listening to the way they used their instrument helped me get more comfortable with my own.
I grew up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn and my mom and pop had an extensive record collection so Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and all of those sounds and souls of Motown filled the house.
Yes the marriage proposal was shot. Michael excluded the dialogue from the final edit.
Working with David Gordon Green and Jonah Hill and Michael Cera and Drew Barrymore and all of those people - those are the best people in comedy to work with. Anna Faris. You know that's my goal to keep learning and to just keep working with the best people I can. And yeah we do all hang out and we all kind of know each other.
Michael has a connection with children just like Mickey Mouse does and he brings happiness to them and joy.
