I'm a weird big guy. Doing rapping doing movies. Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way.

Reality TV looks more like America than movies do.

I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.

My passion is doing movies so as long as I keep doing that I will be happy.

My passion is doing movies and as long as I keep doing that I'll be happy. I want to do movies fun roles and dramatic ones. I love all of it.

The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me but in a way that I like.

I was watching 'Up In The Air' and I thought 'Jesus who's the old gray-haired guy?' And it was me. I never wear makeup for movies and now it's starting to show.

I took acting classes in college and once I graduated I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies.

I rarely see one of the 'summer blockbuster' movies. I'd like to see a stronger focus on smaller smarter movies.

De Niro was a hero of mine. And Sean Penn. But I've realized I can't operate at that level of intensity. That's okay for movies. On TV when you live with horror day in and day out you have to protect yourself.

My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the 'Grapes of Wrath ' his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day.

The movies that are made more thoughtfully or made or with more ambition often get just get drowned out by the noise.

Movies absorb our attention more completely I think.

Class is often invisible in America in the movies and usually not the subject of the film.

A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures and things like that.

I was a very interested arts student I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it's really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies to me it's all art.

There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.

Even today in our progressive times in most movies that come out the men have to have biceps and the women have to be thin or something.

I mean movies in general tend to sort of portray time space and identity as these very solid things. Time moves forward. Space is what it is. You are you and you're always you.

Movies are different from real life.

If the goal is to get the best artists actors and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.

I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.

Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!

Jet was very busy. I've been inspired by a lot of his movies.
