tired thinking people
I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people's minds.
thinking choices together
Without impending on your own personal choice, there are going to be those that wear the hat of religion and those that wear the hat of science. I still don't really understand why they can't wear both hats, because personally, I think that they go beautifully together.
thinking believer seekers
I'm a seeker. I'm very much a believer in science. But I do think there are times when science and mysticism intersect.
thinking interesting important
I really think it's important that my beliefs don't impinge upon what you get from the movie. It's your opinion that matters and it's far more interesting than mine.
thinking firsts over-it
I always say, "Well if you think it's over the top, then tell me where the top is first. I don't think anyone can, but if you can tell me where the top is, then I'll tell you whether or not I'm over it."
fall thinking good-movie
I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.
movie fun thinking
And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy.
thinking choices honest
You can't make your choices based on what critics think. You have to make your choices based on what's honest for you.
thinking people wigs
Sometimes people think I'm wearing a wig when I'm not wearing a wig, and then sometimes they think I'm not wearing a wig when I am wearing a wig.
reading men thinking
I don't want you to think that I'm up late reading a stack of Spider-Man comics and eating a tray of lemon cookies while sucking my thumb. I'm not doing that. But I am loyal to the influences of my childhood.
kids thinking giving
I always say to myself that if I can make a movie that makes a kid smile or gives them some hope or something to get excited about, then I'm applying myself in the best way that I can. I don't think that just goes for kids. I think that it goes for adults, as well, and for families.
thinking goal hong-kong
One of my goals is to have a base near mainland China. I think Hong Kong would be a good match for me. I like being in Hong Kong.
thinking trying important
I try to do as many stunts as they'll let me do. I think it's important for an audience to feel that the actor's really doing it.
drama thinking perfection
I think what makes people fascinating is conflict, it's drama, it's the human condition. Nobody wants to watch perfection.
