I'm very enthusiastic about the Academy Awards because if there were no Oscars, we wouldn't have as many good movies as we do have.
Watching a really good movie excites me, because it makes we want to get up off the couch and go shoot something and act in a scene.
I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.
The truth is I made a few good movies in the '50s, then went into freefall.
I think I made good movies.
It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.
I like really good movies, but I can enjoy a really bad movie, too.
I can't remember my dreams more than a couple of seconds after I wake up. It's frustrating because sometimes I dream that I'm watching a really good movie.
I love hanging out with friends and family, going to the beach or just being a couch potato and binge watching TV shows or watching a good movie.
If I start thinking, 'Is this movie going to open? Is this movie going to do well?' I'm not focusing on the job. The job is to make a good movie.
You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.
It's really hard to find good movies, and that's pretty much what I try to find, good movies.
I've been in so many good movies that I felt like nobody saw; it's a pretty dreadful feeling.
I'd like to make a great movie. I've made many movies. I think I've made some good movies, but I never felt I've made a great movie.
Actors do these really gross, gun-'em-down movies, and I always wonder why. They're not good movies. And it's like, "Why are you doing them? Aren't you rich enough?"

Despite the demands of this job, one of the things my wife and I try to do is to spend time together alone. And one of the things we really enjoy doing together is seeing a good movie.
Any asshole can make a good movie for $100 million. I think it's way harder to make a movie with no money, and to start with no contacts and work your way up to international productions.

My problem is I'm like a junkie. I want a good movie fix, and I never get that fix.
I am so impressed with people who can really make a big movie, a good movie. The amount of work that goes into it is incredible.
