needs enough wanted
I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.
boring five movies signed
I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If I'd wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasn't worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.
business problem
I don't have a problem with fame. I got into this business intending to be very successful, but I wanted it to be at my price.
liked movies range
I think that's what I really liked about Narc: My character has a real operatic range in a way that older movies used to have.
actors way looks
When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they're in... it didn't used to be that way.
vanity important lines
Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred.
stars shoes easy
It's easy to be a movie star. The shoes are already there. They just put you in the shoes.
knowing today ifs
If I was coming into the business today, I wouldn't be in it. Knowing what I know, absolutely not.
kind speed boring
I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If Id wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasnt worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.
people use actors
I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.
stink
Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.
unhappy three speed
I made three movies in 1995 and I was unhappy with all of them: Sleepers, Incognito, and Speed 2.
business exhibitionism problem
I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.
scary healthy unqualified
I have all this time between projects, and I'm not so sure that's a healthy thing. It's scary, because at 36 I'm woefully unqualified for anything else.
