Why should you have to atone for making big movies?

It just proves good movies don't need 100 million dollars to be good.

Making movies is just like betting on horses at the racetrack.

I watch and listen to movies today and am shocked by the way actors deliver their lines. Everybody mumbles now and I don't understand why.

I was always attracted to science fiction movies.

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

I'm just happy to be a film where for once I don't have to worry about my hair because my managers are always complaining about my hair looking depressing in my movies. Which is true. I mean it's true.

What I liked about American movies when I was a kid was that they're sort of larger than life and I think I'm still suffering from that reaction.

I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies which I felt there was a lack of.

I've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral it didn't take off.

Listen there are some movies that are set in stone and the writer or the director does not want to change but I've never worked on a movie including my own that didn't take advantage of a rehearsal process.

By the way movies are like sporting events in that you're as good as the movie you're in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token you can do five movies a year and if they're dreck it's nothing.

I've always been in the middle of making my own movies so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.

I cast unusual people in my movies.

In movies and in television the robots are always evil. I guess I am not into the whole brooding cyberpunk dystopia thing.

I like movies about failing.

People are always wondering if I am an artist or political activist or politician. Maybe I'll just clearly tell you: Whatever I do is not art. Let's say it is just objects or materials movies or writing but not art OK?

I love it man I'm 23 years old and I'm lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can't believe it's happening.

I'm really proud of 'Moneyball.' To me it's about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I'm an old man I'll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That's all I can really go for: making movies to please me.

Look at the same time that I don't want to be a celebrity I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. I'd be a baby and a fool to be like 'Why are there cameras taking pictures of me?' when I'm on a billboard for a movie. I think that's a very absurd concept.

I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because you're an actor you want to write a book to exploit your celebrity but my celebrity is only a byproduct of me making movies. I have no intention of being a celebrity.

All my friends were in college when I was making 'Superbad.' We were drinking beer and watching movies and eating pizza. It wasn't like I was going to nice restaurants or anything like that and I lived like a frat guy. Eventually it was time to grow up be healthy and be responsible. You can't live like a kid forever you know?

Once you make a movie like 'Superbad ' when it's popular and you're the lead you get offered all kinds of things and there's a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture.

Besides the fact that I make movies there's nothing interesting about my life at all unfortunately.
