'Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that.

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.

When I go to movies and I love the movie it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

I went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.

I go to the movies at least five times a week and after a while everything becomes a blur to me.

The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well after a while you don't get to make any more movies.

The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.

I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact it's probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask I wasn't offered all that many blonde bombshell parts to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.

I play Xbox. I have a little boy to look after. I have dogs. You know I have things to do. I would love to be able to sit down and watch something like a movie. I watch my own movies because I have to.

As far as writing I like watching bad movies. Nothing stops me in my tracks more than watching a great film like 'The Godfather' or 'Dog Day Afternoon' or 'The Graduate.' You watch one of those and you never want to write again. Whereas with bad movies it makes you think If that counts I certainly could write.
