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.

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'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.

I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.

I mean the trouble with some of the kind of relationship movies I've done is there's only so many ways you can shoot a conversation. I was really tired of talking heads.

I really liked Carrie a lot. That was one of Brian De Palma's best movies.

I really love the independent movies and I just think that sometimes when they throw a lot of money into it and a lot of special effects and a lot of stunts that you lose the connection the human connection and I personally love movies that are about the human connection.

'Immortals' is all action. I love action movies. That's really where I want to spearhead my career.

A lot of times we're just sold these movies that are really cynically conceived and marketed and they just want you there opening weekend before everybody finds out it's not so good.

I really like Gwyneth Paltrow a lot as far as her career because I think she's done a lot of small movies but she's also done great big movies and she's a really great actress.

I just feel like with independent movies... they're really free to do whatever they want. They're not afraid to make a statement about anything and there's not a huge studio behind them making sure that everything is wholesome and politically correct and all that.

I really don't have any solutions and I don't like movies that do.

If I did any movies I'd have to take a break from singing because I'd want it to be really good.

You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.

I really unfortunately don't have tons of hilarious Sundance stories because really I am not the biggest fan of hanging out but the reason why is because I never go see other people's movies and I think that's the way to do it.

The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money.

Yes I'm going to be the President of the United States. You know why? You think you can get chicks by being in the movies? You can really get chicks by being the President.

I don't really care where movies come from as long as they're worth making.

I don't really make movies because I want to see my face on a billboard or because I want to get good reviews or have a big box office. That doesn't really matter to me at all.

I've been on so many movies. Generally I haven't gotten to be on the ground level. As of two years ago in 'Dear John ' I got to really be on the ground floor. I wasn't a producer. I felt like I put the work in and I did have a lot of sway on what got fixed reshoots so on and so forth. It felt really good.

My bar for being successful is being able to do movies that really mean something to me and being able to make a living off of that.

There are a lot of movies I've done that come and go and don't really establish a growing fan base.

The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.

If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
