The cardinal sin in sports what could really wreck it is not cheating to win which has gone on forever but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports' appeal which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed they're no different from movies they're scripted.
Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that they never translate exactly.
I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors on small movies and big movies.
Coming Home had been made before and Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter different kinds of movies.
I am so happy because I want more people to like martial arts movie not just martial arts audience. Even martial arts can be used in comedy in drama in horror movies in different kinds of movies.
If you're not a real chameleon of an actor and if you're not one of those guys who can really shape-change themselves all the time one of the ways to keep pushing yourself and keep changing is to be in different kinds of movies.
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 love doing roles and movies that are different from each other.
The way I look at it movies are a different medium for storytelling than books.
Well getting behind the camera is something I've always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like 'Zathura' I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge.
I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.
Before I'd written movies I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.
Movies are different from real life.
I didn't know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.
The nature of the movies is different than it was five years ago and they're all driven by the possibilities of CGI which means you can make anything happen on screen that you can possibly desire.
Listen I think movies serve many different purposes from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity and I actually do both of those types of movies in my career.
I've done many different movies in many different contexts.
I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know I run a theater company in New York I direct plays act in plays in movies so I try to keep it eclectic.
Movies were never an art form they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there and it's still evolving in different ways.
I wouldn't like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.
Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends church school church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.
Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.
I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.
I was motivated to be different in part because I was different.
To think is of itself to be useful it is always and in all cases a striving toward God.
