I like to make all kinds of movies. I'd do 'Ocean's Thirteen' with the right script.

Warner Bros. has talked about going out with low-cost DVDs simultaneously in China because piracy is so huge there. It will be a while before bigger movies go out in all formats; in five years, everything will.

I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didn't like me. I guess I wasn't a certain type.

My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.

I don't think London has been given enough credit in a lot of the movies that we make here.

When they tell me one of my old movies is on TV, I don't look at it.

The movies I've made at a certain time of my life were exactly right for the stage of my life, the frame of mind I was in at the time. Each character I've had to play has been me in that time in my life.

Being alone is scarier than any boogey man and the reason why I don't choose to see Horror movies as a rule.

I'm not surprised that Spielberg was able to capture the heroism of Schindler; so many of his movies are about the better part of mankind.

That's probably when I get the most angry at American movies, when they just so cynically manipulate the audience without even trying to give a good story.

And in movies you must be a gambler. To produce films is to gamble.

I really took filmmaking very seriously... It was an honor and then a crutch also, because at a young age, I was like, I guess I'm a serious filmmaker. I never set out to be a serious filmmaker. I just set out to make movies.

Movie SF is, by definition, dumbed down - there have only been three or four SF movies in the history of film that aspire to the complexity of literary SF.

One of the problems I have with a lot of movies these days is that everything is too well lit. In the world of digital creations there is a tendency to show too much.

There is a whole generation of people who are going to see movies or watch TV who don't want to work.
