No film has captivated my imagination more than 'King Kong.' I'm making movies today because I saw this film when I was 9 years old.

We didn't have television until I was about eight years old so it was either the movies or radio. A lot of radio drama. That was our television you know. We had to use our imagination. So it was really those two things and the comics that I immersed myself in as a child.

I have learned the art of filling in your lines with your visuals and your movies and your imagination.

'Avatar' is the greatest most comprehensive collection of movie cliches ever assembled but it's put together in a brand new way with a new technology and tremendous imagination making it a true epic and a kind of a milestone.

In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys games and a radio show - that was before TV - and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it's all come true.

You'd have to have one hell of an imagination to completely make up a story but historians are very anal about what they think should be portrayed on screen. Thankfully they don't make movies we do.

But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.

You can have 10 bucks to 10 million bucks and if you got a crew imagination and a lot of people willing to turn in some work next to nothing you going to have a feature. But you can't get beyond how expensive marketing the movie is it's so crushing.

As an actor you have to have a strong vivid imagination as you're working and when the camera's rolling but there's certainly a part of you that is aware of real life that you're making a movie.

I enjoy working on a movie that lets your imagination run wild it's great to be a part of and watch.

Sometimes a character is really based on research that you do. Other times it's just based on your imagination or perhaps your conversation with the director. Or sometimes all of the above. It depends on the movie and character.

Novelists are not equipped to make a movie in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they're casting they're dressing the scene they're working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they're also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader.

Ghost stories really scare me. I have such a big imagination that after I watch a horror movie like 'The Grudge' I look in the corners of my room for the next two days.

The best scary movies have great humor in them and a great story.

I like dark humor. My favorite movie of all time is 'Harold and Maude.'

Once we got over the origin story we could really delve deeper into their lives and characters and angst. So this movie actually has more heart more humor.

We have a certain warped sense of humor in Scandinavia and that is what comes across in the choices in a lot of our movies.

Think about scary movies: There's a fine line between horror and humor.

A good actor is someone who knows how to take the part and make it real and make it honest and be effective in it. If it's in a funny movie and as long as they are cast in an appropriate way humor will come from it.

With actors like Steve McQueen Paul Newman and Harrison Ford what made them such icons is that even in dramatic movies their characters had a sense of humor.

The guys in my band are great-we watch movies we eat pizza take walks read books. Everybody has a really great sense of humor. And my boyfriend comes and visits me on the road.

Bathroom humor fart and poo poo humor in movies gets a laugh. It's a pretty easy audience and that's been around for ages.

Every time I do a movie like 'Finding Neverland' or 'Chocolat' or 'Shakespeare' in Love ' we deal with the creative process but there's humor and fun along the way. I always love that kind of movie.

Feature-length film comedy is harder to pull off than the episodic sitcom - it doesn't have the same factory machinery up and running teams of writers putting familiar characters through permutations - but that doesn't explain the widening quality gap that makes movie humor look like a genetic defective.
