I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.
To me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.
I still collect comics. I still have a great love and respect for the genre.
Television is kind of restrictive in its directing, but it would be nice to get some chops doing TV.
I want to make movies that I want to see, and what I miss and I'm not seeing.
When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?
I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.
I don't like to stick to one formula. That gets boring. I get bored, so I want to try different ways of getting inside something.
I wanted to make a fan film for a character I've always loved and believed in - a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it. It's been a blast to be a part of from start to finish - we hope the friends of Frank enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.
I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
Harrison Ford - one of my favorite actors - has a wonderful sense of character and depth and uniqueness to him, yet he's able to just deliver the lines without putting any English on it.
I like to imagine that all the choices you make during the day that you're doing a particular scene are going to feed into the creation of that scene. It's not a movie-by-movie or a part-by-part basis. It's a day-by-day thing, and sometimes an hour-by-hour thing.
I'm interested in people that don't always do the right thing, its much more akin to what I know about life.
It's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.
