both clean couple elephant fights forehead man movies seeing sick
We both said we were sick of seeing movies where the fights are clean and tidy, so we made it messy, ... a welt on my forehead that made me look like the Elephant Man for a couple of days.
thinking make-you-think good-movie
It's tough to make a good movie. I think the bigger the movies are, the worse they are. A lot of big movies make a lot of money and you kind of forget about what they are and they don't really make you think.
movie fun actors
How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun.
movie years acting
I start from scratch with each movie; I wipe the slate and I certainly don't rely on some bag of acting tricks I've amassed over the years.
christian movie-love trying
And being as I'm somebody who loves movies like The Machinist, I also love going along to big mass entertainment movies. I get in the mood for all kinds of movies, and so I like to try each of them.
batman-movie
I won't kill you but I don't have to save you.
movie adventure thinking
I think mostly it's the adventure that I will have in making the movie. That's what I look for.
movie stars responsibility
A movie star is someone people look at and go, 'I want to be like that person'. There's the responsibility of desire. It's not something I'm interested in trying. I would fail miserably at it, so why even bother?
movie interesting actors
The interesting thing about a movie is the movie.

But after having done American Psycho and Shaft, I found it a breath of fresh air to play somebody who's completely human in terms of his emotions.
becoming character created haunting icon tombstone
Bateman becoming an icon made me resentful. It will be on my tombstone that I created that character. And I resented that character haunting me.
apocalypse nuclear pretend somebody
Nuclear apocalypse - who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.
changed days except found learned next people saying standing time word
'The Machinist' changed me. I learned that I really enjoy, literally, not saying a damned word for days at a time, except for what was in the scene. Whole days of... nothing. Just... standing still. I know a lot of people found it bizarre, because they'd be standing right next to me thinking, 'Why aren't we talking? What's going on?'
biggest good rebellion wear work
The biggest rebellion I could've ever had with my father would be to work in a bank. He would have disowned me. As long as I was doing something where I didn't have to wear a tie, I was good.
