When I was a kid going into the movies you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.

I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance it doesn't have to be a creature.

On radio and television magazines and the movies you can't tell what you're going to get. When you look at the comic page you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.

I always always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that when I got a mini-series I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.

I just love movies so suddenly you're political about movies and that's dark. It's just not fun when something you love becomes calculated.

I write plays and movies I live and work at the borderline between word and image just as any cartoonist or illustrator does. I'm not a pure writer. I use words as the score for kinetic imagistic representations.

As much as I hate his movies Oliver Stone has an aspiration I admire and that is that he wants his art to be part of what makes and changes public policy and cultural practice.

You don't go to the movies to do historical research unless it's historical research about the movies.

I've never held myself up particularly high when I had movies that worked and I never held myself all that low when I had failures.
