I want do some kind of action movie car chases and explosions.

The ought to be a worldwide cultural taskforce that just stops you when you have ideas like combining The Red Desert with an armored car heist movie.

I've made movies that cost less than one car chase.

I'm carded for R-rated movies. And I get talked down to a lot. When I try to go rent a car or buy an airplane ticket or other stuff adults do I get 'Okaaaaaay honey.' I remember when I was 18 getting crayons in a restaurant.

If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now I made movies - and I have a nice house a nice car. I'm fortunate happy and grateful. Life is good.

Sometimes movie-making happens like clockwork other times like a car accident.

If a movie is really working you forget for two hours your Social Security number and where your car is parked. You are having a vicarious experience. You are identifying in one way or another with the people on the screen.

I accept the Old Testament as more of an action movie: blood car chases evacuations a lot of special effects seas dividing mass murder adultery. The children of God are running amok wayward. Maybe that's why they're so relatable.

I was always a singer. But I was always focused on being an actor as my trade. Music I do just for me. The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible.

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

Independent film is almost nonexistent right now because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now because it costs so much to open a movie.

Just because you've made a couple movies you've done some good movies you've been nominated for some Academy Awards whatever nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it I can think they're wrong but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.

I'm probably the only person who goes to work and says 'Wow it's really nice here and sweet ' even in the competitive movie business.

I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business so I was never interested in that world.

I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh volatile business and unless you can be ruthless too there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

The nature of motion capture is only going to work for certain films. It's not going to put any other type of movies out of business.

Movies are an expensive business.

I've made movies that I thought were good. I've made movies that I thought were okay but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think I wish more people saw that - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.

I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five thirty years earlier I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.

You can say what you want to about a rapper in a movie but look at what Ice Cube has done. Ice Cube has created more opportunities for other actors to get jobs in this business than some actors have.

The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business.

I think people are used to seeing actors be wide open and desperately giving of themselves and while I do that on a movie set as much as I can it's so unnatural for me to do it on television in interviews in anything like that. I also don't find that my process as an actor is really anyone else's business.

I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf I can.

The movie business is a big gamble.
