I trained more than anybody ever in a golf film ever made - my swing is pretty hot.
And if you're a golfer and you watch a golf film and Matt Damon swing, and it's not great, then you're not going to believe in the golf story, you're not going to believe in the rest of the film. That's the whole movie, so if that swing looks like crap, the movie's crap.
I will not cut my film because, because, because, because of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
I'll do at least one action film every year because of my fans. This is my promise to them.
I'd never do a film that would hurt anyone's sentiments, be it Indian or not.
Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
I made a French film called "Merry Christmas" which is a very European film. It's a World War I piece.
Terry's mother worked in the film industry for many years. She always wanted him to marry an actress.
The film was made in 1973. It was a golden time for people to experiment without risking, for example, AIDS. Today one has to be so much more careful and I don't think a character like that could exist now.
As a painter you're responsible yourself, 100 percent. In film, you have the editor, the director, the other actors. It has the advantage of not being solitary.
I don't see a film industry in Germany. They have a great TV culture, but how many German films are really exciting?
Well I'm not much of a singer. But it's been a really nice time to do film, television, theater and have it all happening at once. That wasn't planned but it just happens.
There were some things that I found I really enjoyed singing about; like, on the title track, there's this film-noir character of a woman who's sort of losing it in a room.
When you're actually making the film, you're constantly battling to maintain its integrity.
