People go to movies on Saturday to get away from the war in Iraq and taxes and election news and pedophiles online and just go and have some fun. I like doing movies that are fun.

All movies aren't fun some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.

I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them.

I grew up watching those blaxploitation movies. Ron O'Neal Richard Roundtree Jim Brown Pam Grier. For the first time I saw 'The Negro' get one over on 'The Man.'

I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else and I want the same thrill.

I've seen little pieces of 'Interview with a Vampire' when it was on TV but I kind of always go yuck! I don't watch R-rated movies so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror.

The movies were custard compared to politics.

You can figure out who you were by which movies you loved when.

Well look at all of these summer blockbusters. You can't help but laugh a little because you've already seen a lot of these movies 482 times.

John Barry was my hero when I was about 13. His scores to the James Bond movies were the scores of my life back then.
