We both said we were sick of seeing movies where the fights are clean and tidy, so we made it messy, ... a welt on my forehead that made me look like the Elephant Man for a couple of days.
It's tough to make a good movie. I think the bigger the movies are, the worse they are. A lot of big movies make a lot of money and you kind of forget about what they are and they don't really make you think.
How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun.
I start from scratch with each movie; I wipe the slate and I certainly don't rely on some bag of acting tricks I've amassed over the years.
And being as I'm somebody who loves movies like The Machinist, I also love going along to big mass entertainment movies. I get in the mood for all kinds of movies, and so I like to try each of them.
I won't kill you but I don't have to save you.
I think mostly it's the adventure that I will have in making the movie. That's what I look for.
A movie star is someone people look at and go, 'I want to be like that person'. There's the responsibility of desire. It's not something I'm interested in trying. I would fail miserably at it, so why even bother?
The interesting thing about a movie is the movie.
