easy
There's no such thing as an easy anything.
smart stupid thinking
I will always continue to make stupid action films but I think 'V For Vendetta' is a very smart film and I think that people will feel differently about things when they see it.
real cost kind
There is no real kind of specific genre of cost of movies.
sports fun school
I never really was that passionate about playing sports. But when I was at this Mt. Herman school, I did have the ability to throw the frisbee. So when this sport evolved, it was fun because I was good at it.
school littles jocks
I swam a little bit in high school but I wasn't a jock.
moon thinking able
I think once every person on the planet sees 'New Moon' and there's nobody left who hasn't see it, then I think they'll be able to go see 'Ninja.
animated animated-movies
The most effective 3D movies I have ever seen are the animated movies because they are designed.
guy want whatever-it-takes
I'm a guy that wants the movie to work. So whatever it takes or whatever you got to do - I'm happy to do.
thinking ideas issues
I've always wanted to make 'Swamp Thing.' I like 'Swamp Thing.' I think it's a good idea, and I thought it would be a good venue for a 3-D movie, but there were rights issues with 'Swamp Thing.
germany berlin
It's financially advantageous to make a picture in Berlin, Germany. They have a very effective rebate system.
chores hard
It's hard to shoot anything in L.A.; it's just a chore, but they're great here.
cost impossible hard
It's so hard and impossible to shoot in L.A. The costs are astronomical.
country people done
My movies have always done pretty well in the UK - 'The Matrix' films did very well in this country and I do like the crews here and the people we're working with here.
ideas interesting people
The idea of a youth-based society that you live in for a certain time and then you no longer live anymore is an interesting idea for a movie, but you need young people that people want to go see.
