Some say Hollywood movies that are made about boxing are just metaphors for other things, I think I've made one that's actually about boxing and not a metaphor.

I did have an offer to direct one of the Alien movies but I wasn't too excited about all the effects work.

If people have bought something of mine, they know by now that I will decline writing it for the movies.

I prefer to live in the country where it's quiet. Woody Allen movies there are dubbed into Italian.

The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art, and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business.

I play a role in front of the cameras, just like in the movies.

I just think Australia tends to make very good movies, so if someone hands me an Australian or an American film script I would guess the Australian film would be more intriguing.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

In live action movies, you just hope that everything works. Because the actor may had a bad morning and doesn't play good, or accidents happen continuously. Many things contradict what you are trying to say. But in cartoons, nothing contradict what you want to say.

I aim for a lifetime full of movies.

This is really showing me what certain movies mean to people.

I'd rather do a lot of movies than a TV series and do a lot of different roles than be stuck in one TV thing.

Comedy is so fun. I don't know how these people can make movies and work on them for four months and they're these sob stories. I don't know how emotionally you get through that.

I enjoy about 1 out of 100 movies, it's about the same proportion to books published that I care to read.

But we were doing plays and movies which I had nothing to do with other than being a producer, and I don't have that kind of interest or time any more.
