It says something about the curious nature of film, that someone can be so alive on screen, when we're all too aware that they've passed. it underscores how we're mortal, and films are immortal (commenting on the death of Heath Ledger)
I'd love to do just straight theatre. I'd love to do film and television, too.
My stage successes have provided me with the greatest moments outside myself, my film successes the best moments, professionally, within myself.
I always feel like every film takes the franchise and hangs it in the balance.
All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.
It's always been a lie that it's difficult to make films.
Through the history of my records, from when I started controlling the visual, I always used lower case letters for everything, I can't even explain why that is. The character is actually me, and I think once you see the film for the record, or see the video or really get in to the record, that will all sort of reveal itself to you.
Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it's almost disgusting to fall in love.
The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.
There's a positive side to film and television, the sense of feeding into the theater... Your fans will follow you, hopefully, and be open-minded to see you play other things and experience other stories you want to tell.
There are certain moments that you have to hit in a film, like when a character cries.
Films are hard to make and I think the word indulge really leads one to believe that it's an easy sort of business and it's really extremely difficult.
It's a terrible thing to make films that are never seen or experienced by audiences. Often times nobody knows about them, even though they are great films. They are not promoted and that's really sad.
A lot of times when I've been offered film series and stuff, if they shoot in Los Angeles, I lose interest.
I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes I listen to Indian music quite often and other non- film music.
I went to film school to make films just because you're in control of the story.
Some films do portray women in their 40s well, and some other films don't. Some films are written by women, so maybe there's a little more accuracy there.
I've directed five films and I've proven that people have made money with my films - many people have made money with my films.
I've proven that I'm not a complete failure. Every film has done well. It's like, "So, okay, when do I get my deal at Warner Bros?
The truth is I don't see a lot of movies. I see the Oscar films. I see the films that are sent to me and a few films throughout the year.
The first film I remember seeing was Bambi. It has stayed with me because it was so sad.
I would love to produce a film.
I would love to do a film in Africa.
I would love to produce a film. I have written a script and am in the process of writing another, so maybe it will happen down the road. I would love to do a film in Africa.
I just want to make good films on my own wherever I can.
