I don't enjoy movies in 3D. I find I can't engage with the story as well.
So I do have to work you know and I find as many movies and TV shows that I can because otherwise I wouldn't have an income.
I could really use a corporate sponsor. People think that because you're in the movies you're rich. I have allocated all my resources to Shambala so the animals will always be safe.
I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents you're kind of roughing it literally.
I'm also doing constant book readings movies. You name it I'm doing it.
The long and short of it is that I am now in a position in England to green light movies and that's really excellent - not high-budget movies but movies none the less.
I enjoy about 1 out of 100 movies it's about the same proportion to books published that I care to read.
I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make but I also reflect other points of view.
I don't think people have been able to deal with the fact that African American filmmakers can make movies about life and relationships.
I don't like doing movies period. Movies are hard. I like TV.
I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies the less I rehearse the better I am.
When you're on your deathbed you probably aren't counting the movies you've made.
I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.
I do sort of gravitate towards smaller indie-type movies.
For movies to get greenlit solely based on the success of other movies that have a lot of women in them? It's so ridiculous to me.
I've always fantasized about being on TV. And I was. Then I fantasized about being in the movies. What could be better than captain of a space ship? I get to ride horses shoot guns have adventures.
I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity'.
I like making sci-fi movies because I like watching sci-fi movies. I like watching horror. I like being in a horror movie. I'm a fan. My perspective's a little different just because I get to participate as well as spectate.
I'll tell you what I really enjoy. We all go to the movies we all watch television we know what they're about how they work. When the main character is a cop or a spy it's very exciting but I also very much enjoy when the main characters are nobodies - a trucker.
My fans mean everything to me - especially the sisters! When you're on 'The View' or you're doing movies and stuff you're a little bit insulated. It means so much to me when a woman comes up to me and says 'Sherri you said what I feel.' That just means so much to me to know that I have that support.
It's so great in Hollywood now. You have people past 40 sitting and talking about serious stuff writing and making movies and TV but there's laser pistols and superheroes and alien monsters involved. It's viable and mainstream.
I guess maybe I try to make movies that are closer to real life than are many Hollywood movies. But I still try to stay within a commercial narrative a contemporary American vernacular.
The novel succeeds on terms exclusive to literature. A good film succeeds on terms exclusive to the cinema. That's why so many bad novels can become good movies like 'Jaws' or 'The Godfather.'
Each one of my movies becomes easier to get off the ground.
