I was always in trouble. I was mischievous. And movies were always a part of my world.
I’m a crazy lunatic, but a lot of the time I’m just sitting at home watching movies.
I love doing movies that are content-driven, but at the same time, I would love to dance around trees and do those things that are typical to Bollywood. I have grown up watching such films and I would love to be a part of them.
I think if you study people in the street today, you do sometimes feel that they have taken their behavior and their language from things that they have seen rather than read – from soap operas and movies and so on.
The few movies I can even think of that I watch over and over would be the Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton movie ‘Boom!’, ‘Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!’, and ‘Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.’ I wouldn’t call any of them mainstream.
I’m obsessed with horrible movies.
When I see a lot of the big Hollywood movies, I see they are all financed by Indian studios.
But I do believe that there’s going to be a time where all movies are going to be made in 3D and it’s just going to be a given, and that is going to be an exciting time.
A big reason why I started writing is I felt that fiction had stopped evolving. All other entertainments were getting better, constantly, as technology allowed. Movies. Video games. Music.
Movies are fun, but they are no cure for cancer.
I think that weird rumor or idea in Hollywood that people don’t want to see female-driven movies couldn’t be further from the truth. Women buy tickets to movies.
Making movies has become such a golden ring, and it’s all such a big business, that the rewards system has gotten totally out of whack. Suddenly, you’re treated in a manner befitting someone who is actually an important person.
The problem with romantic comedies is you know the ending by the poster. So they’re not movies you can keep doing over and over again expect satisfaction somehow.
Rap for me is like making movies, telling stories, and getting the emotions of the songs through in just as deep a way.
During my school and college days, the three Khans – Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh – were superstars for me and will always be. Their movies were eagerly awaited every Friday.
In the morning, I’m like the Antonioni movies. I’m little sad. I haven’t the courage to start the day. In the evenings, I’m happier, more alive – like the character I play in ‘An Almost Perfect Affair.’
I saw ‘A Clockwork Orange’ when I was 11. When you watch ‘Clockwork Orange’ at 11, it either totally scares you from watching movies, or you want to become a filmmaker. I was the latter.
We’re making high-budget movies with a low-budget attitude.
When I was young, I didn’t see anyone who was trans like me anywhere in the movies.
We need Hollywood to make movies and television shows about sexy female engineers.
I got it into my head that I was going to be starring in movies that I wrote, so that’s what I did. I stopped acting in all things, and I wrote my first script, which was optioned a week after I finished it.
I do not buy CDs any more; I usually stream Internet radio. For movies, I hardly every buy any DVDS. I have a DVR, so just record things off HBO, Showtime and so on.
I love Halloween, and I love spooky stuff. I love horror movies. I love everything creepy, and I’ve always kind of wanted to do this, just do really dark pop.
People always ask, ‘Do you wanna do movies; do you wanna do other things?’ But they haven’t fired me from ‘OLTL’ yet. When that happens, I’ll make that choice.
I like to make movies in Texas because that’s where I learned how to do it. I know the industry there, I know the people, I know the crews. But it’s hard to make films in Texas.
