I think these movies are as much for people of that time as for people who weren't born. For people who weren't born, they see how leaders must act under a crisis situation, not trying to be re-elected or not trying to check polls, that they go from their gut check.

I am not a film buff. I do not watch a lot of movies.

Growing up I did not watch movies.

It is simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they are done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it is what they see. That is where my head is at.

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.

I made some truly awful movies. Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot was the worst. If you ever want someone to confess to murder just make him or her sit through that film. They will confess to anything after 15 minutes.

I think we are very complicated and we are capable of all kinds of things, and movies do not reflect that.

I think it is more interesting to see people who do not feel appropriately. I relate to that, because sometimes I do not feel anything at all for things I am supposed to, and other times I feel too much. It is not always like it is in the movies.

A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.

How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.

I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can not really move from it: it is on buses, in stores, it is everywhere. One of my kids has read the books the other two are too small but they like the movies.

The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read - those are important to me. It is very important to me, and I do not know what I would do without those things.

We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them Does not have to be white, and the other one Does not have to be the ethnic sidekick. We are way over that. And I think it is happening in society, too.
