I've always been a movie guy movies have been my thing. I love movies all kinds of movies.
I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.
I'm a movie nut. I go to the movies probably twice a week and if I'm not doing anything at night I'm usually watching a movie or two.
I was influenced when I was younger by the cartoon movies that Disney put out like Cinderella and what not. I watched those movies over and over when I was younger and the music is ingrained into my head. Nowadays I'm still humming the tunes. It taught me the fundamentals.
I really unfortunately don't have tons of hilarious Sundance stories because really I am not the biggest fan of hanging out but the reason why is because I never go see other people's movies and I think that's the way to do it.
I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.
I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down I like to root for him to succeed.
I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.
Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.
When I was a little kid - and even still - I loved magic tricks. When I saw how movies got made - at least had a glimpse when I went on the Universal Studios tour with my grandfather I remember feeling like this was another means by which I could do magic.
