If movies are causing moral decay, then crime ought to be going up, but crime is going down.

It's something that was very interesting to me to be a part of and all of them again because of the relationship. Some of the superhero movies are better than others.

I love John Waters. There's stuff in it that's beyond the boundaries of my taste, but his movies have always been like that.

I don't believe in superheroes but I love Batman movies. There's a part of every person that is entertained by the idealistic, the fantastic.

I was always attracted to science fiction movies.

Movies are movies: they take you back in time, and how it still is for some.

After I do a big movie I get offered big movies. But I always do the weirdest indie.

Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.

I never go overbudget on my movies.

So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.

My partner, Beth Alexander, and I want to produce smaller films, but commercially viable films that will enable me to make the kinds of movies I want to make.

For six months I'd do movies and make it all about me. Then the other six months, it's not about me and it doesn't matter what my hair looks like or what anything looks like.

No, I like today's cinema a lot. But I've spent so many decades only making movies. There's so much that I still want to do. Like, live. It's only up to me.

I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.

I think there are movies that are so gigantic that you need a second unit.
