When I was in ‘Billy,’ I always knew that I wanted to do something in performing. I always knew that I wanted to have a future in the performing arts. I had no idea that it was going to be acting in movies.
I never really worked with Chris Farley, I hung out with him, but I had plans, I had big plans, movies, and I was in no hurry.
I’m an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I’m a film buff.
When you make movies, it’s such an important period of time, when you look back at each one of them. You want to be able to say that you did something that was a challenge and that changed you.
Disney movies are a great outing for the entire family, and my children are huge fans of their classics, especially ‘The Lion King.’
I go to movies, go out with friends, go to car shows. I have a zoo.
I’ve been constantly under male gaze. In our movies, women are constantly objectified.
My wife says that stage acting is like being on a tightrope with no net, and being in the movies, there is a net – because you stop and go over it again. It’s very technical and mechanical. On stage you’re on your own.
Billions of people have seen and been influenced by movies in the short history of this industry.
In the 1950s, we had all these B-grade science-fiction movies. The point was to scare the public and get them to buy popcorn. No attempt was made to create movies that were somewhat inherent to the truth.
I still do television. I don’t care. I just want to work. I love to work. I want to do 500 movies.
When you really study espionage movies, or spy movies, the beginnings are really set up to have, like, an amazing bit of action, but at the moment you’re watching it, you have no idea why or what it’s about.
You can even express movies and poetry using video games. For those reasons, I’ve decided to create stories through video games.
I live in my imagination, so sometimes movies help me get lost. I feel like I’m in it.
I have a particular pair of headphones I love so much I bring them everywhere: Beats Studio. It’s perfect for watching movies as well because you feel like you have your own theater with you, even with your iPad.
I didn’t get my hair cut for two movies, and it got a little long. I’m going back to a… not a crew cut. Back to, oh, about a Presbyterian length.
Up until doing this movie, I hadn’t really paid a huge amount of attention to those genres, but after finishing this movie, it really gave me a different sense of appreciation of the way the movies play out.
I think a lot of rappers limit themselves by doing the gangster movies and that’s stereotypical for a rapper.
I had those kind of parents where I watched all of these very sophisticated movies: ‘Five Easy Pieces’, ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.’
I’m a big fan of horror movies. But I prefer visceral to viscous, let’s just say that.
I think that everyone would agree that something that Marvel has done brilliantly is weave comedy into all of their action movies.
I don’t like gratuitous violence. I don’t like the ‘Saw’ movies. I don’t like the ‘Hostel’ movies. I don’t like anything that is violence for violence’s sake.
For me, I like to be different. I didn’t want to imitate another wrestler. I always try to find something from other genres, like movies, books, art, and musicals. That’s how I made my style.
I’m a great consumer of kung-fu movies – mid-’70s to late-’80s.
Staring down the barrel of a gun is the scariest thing you could ever experience. It’s not funny. It’s not for the movies.
