naked use film
The only time I use women in films is when they're naked or dead.
reactions audience dies
I really was very impressed with DMX during the whole experience on 'Romeo Must Die.' I like working with him. I liked him. And I was very impressed with the reaction of the audience when he was in the picture.
ipads television want
I love my iPad. I'll see television shows that I have missed and I'll download them through iTunes. If there is an older movie that I want to watch right away, I can download that movie and watch it.
stupid proud action
I've made a lot of stupid action films in my life but I like stupid action films and am kind of proud of them.
real mean gun
The dubbing of the music and effects is really incredible today. You're feeling gun shots. I mean, it's not the way people say it is, but the gunshot sounds real. And cars sound real. Among the many things in the evolution (of movies) is to make the sound in the movie incredible. That's what you feel.
sports proud creation
I'm a filmmaker and I'm proud of the movies I've made. But in the background of my life I was also very involved in the creation of the sport.
actors hardship littles
There are a lot of times where actors can be a little precious sometimes, and then it's difficult to put them in a situation where there is true hardship.
want bigger descending
The core of the movie business remains intact and it's not descending in scope. Studios want movies that are bigger than ever.
running elements minorities
A lot of movies were influenced by 'Logan's Run,' like 'Minority Report'. A lot of films have those elements in them.
ability wells frisbee
I always had the ability to throw a frisbee pretty well. I don't why.
watches sometimes disturbing
To watch a movie in 3D when it's not really planned in 3D is disturbing sometimes.
horse war snow
There aren't a lot of guys like me left. But I'm a war horse. I've been through it all. And you know something about war horses? Through the sleet, through the snow, they just keep going.
fun years names
You know for years before the notion of sequels, actors were the franchise. John Wayne would rarely do sequels, but he kind of played the same guy with a different name in every movie. I have no problem with using actors as franchises. And that's what is fun to do.
responsibility unique filmmaker
Our responsibility as filmmakers is to make things that are fresh, unique and original.
