You know, that's the reality, but I always shoot movies for the screen, because that's just the experience that I want to get out of it.
They're innocent movies, and they're fun movies and there were no pretensions about 'em.
The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.
I have been interested in global web-based communities and emerging technologies since the mid 80's. There is a revolution occurring in global culture nowadays, that will change everything. and it's only just beginning.
It's hard for a hit to be bad for your career.
I'm not trying to be some kind of underground renegade.
I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music, architecture, novels, and plays. Anywhere that hits you.
We're in a time right now where there are so many pretty boy movies and TV shows out, that most of the actors that are in their late 20's are coming from those beefcake TV roles and they just don't have the chops.
With Fever, the film was so made for the screen, and there's so much surround sound that was done for the film - enormous detail paid to that. I wasn't thinking video, because I didn't know how it was going to turn out.
The film, even when we were making it in that budget range, which was really a coup - we got it made because we pitched it to the studio head, Joe Roth.
I'm really influenced by so many different things.
I'm one of the few people who really like Eyes Wide Shut.
What an old actor will do for money.
The talent, the technical facilities, and the intelligence of the people - I just love London.
