I've never really broken this down before but in movies you almost have no connection to fans. And if you do TV you're kind of connected but they know you as the TV name not your real name. If you do radio there's more of a bond there. And then if you do a podcast it's like you're literally inside of your fans.

There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and when they do that you sometimes flatten out.

You don't want to be photographed? You don't want to be known? Then you don't need to be out there peddling movies.

I love John Waters. There's stuff in it that's beyond the boundaries of my taste but his movies have always been like that.

I like action movies even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.

I love huge movies. Not sure I am the guy to make them but you can rely on me being there watching them.

I hadn't made a big-budget film and in Hollywood there's a sort of man and boys situation. You're a man you make $80 million movies! As if it's harder to make an $80 million movie. Well I guess businesswise it is because you have more executives to argue with.

There are some movies that I would like to forget for the rest of my life - really! But even those movies that I'd like to forget teach me things.

The person that made me want to make movies and the reason I do films is Bruce Lee. He was an incredible actor and he had a lot of charisma. Handsome action you know everything was there. I loved Bruce Lee.

There are characters in movies who I call 'film characters.' They don't exist in real life. They exist to play out a scenario. They can be in fantastic films but they are not real characters what happens to them is not lifelike.

There certainly is no secret in that there are plenty of people who don't like plenty of my movies. Each one of my films is personal each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that. With each one of my films I'm exploring one of my own issues and I try to expose myself a little in the film.

There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible.

There are movies where we are interested in seeing people's lives without agreeing with what they're doing.

There are movies that require fantasy and slightly more fantastical acting. Lines that are good for certain movies in real life circumstances would be absolutely unbelievable things to really say and you would look at these people like they're freaks for conversing that way. But somehow for certain styles of movies it works and it seems fine.

I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.

I used to be prettier than I am but I think I look better now. I was a pretty boy. Particularly in my early movies. I don't like looking at them so much. There's a sort of pretty thing about me.

I feel I want to grow as an actress and be better. I want to progress as a singer and songwriter and produce movies and everything. So there'll be no time when I feel I've done it all.

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.

Woody Allen is really the ultimate. I love that he believed in himself enough to do what he did. And I have that same feeling - that there's nobody that looks like me in movies nobody would cast me as a romantic lead but I want to do it and I feel confident that I can.

A lot of times you get credit for stuff in your movies you didn't intend to be there.

The financial implode is bound to be reflected in the movies that are being made there's no question.

Most movies once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end.

There are some movies that I would like to forget for the rest of my life. But even those movies teach me things.

I'm not mad about movies there are too many people involved in the making of them and they lack a definitive creative focus.
