Most movies suck even the independent ones. Hollywood is like baseball: Hit three good ones out of 10 and you're a Hall of Famer.

I don't want to imitate life in movies I want to represent it. And in that representation you use the colors you feel and sometimes they are fake colors. But always it's to show one emotion.

If you're not a real chameleon of an actor and if you're not one of those guys who can really shape-change themselves all the time one of the ways to keep pushing yourself and keep changing is to be in different kinds of movies.

I don't know what has happened to movies but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi something with very important subject matters.

Right now if you're interested in being a dramatic actor they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.

If I do three movies in a year I don't feel like acting ever again.

It's difficult to do a genre film well and it doesn't matter if you're talking vampire movies or 'Dawn of the Dead' or 'The Thing' or 'Escape From New York.' Those kind of movies they understand what the old-school B-movie is supposed to be they get the throwback of it.

I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters so I've just grown up with that model.

Frank is such a great visual storyteller that if you study his artwork you see that his Sin City books are already the best movies never seen on the big screen.

Trying to constantly get yourself into movies is extremely stressful and sometimes just impossible.
