I was born in New Orleans, and I wasn't allowed to go to the movies.
So I got caught up in the same wave as everybody else and went right out to Hollywood, to make movies.
It was considered oh, not proper for children to go to the movies.
Many other movies, but for me The Professionals is the best I did in Hollywood.
Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.
January is the garbage can of movies in America, directly after all the Oscar contenders have been out.
I get a lot of action scripts. I get low-budget vehicles that will end up right on the video shelf. I want to do movies that I want to talk about, that I'm proud of, but I also want to make a living.
I don't think we're living in great times for movies, to tell you the truth.
I loved "Clueless." That was one of my favorite movies of all time.
I love old movies. The '40s theatre pace is fantastic.
I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
John Barry was my hero when I was about 13. His scores to the James Bond movies were the scores of my life back then.
I don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.
Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.
I began to feel that the drama of the truth that is in the moment and in the past is richer and more interesting than the drama of Hollywood movies. So I began looking at documentary films.
