If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.

You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb it's kind of what these movies are all about.

I don't think we're living in great times for movies to tell you the truth.

I grew up on Bette Davis movies and Marlene Dietrich Marilyn Monroe.

I love going to movies.

I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.

My interest in film is sort of catholic - apart from science fiction and horror movies I'll watch almost everything.

Before I'd written movies I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

Even if we die at 100 we're still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There's a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I'm not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years.
