fans potters film
I'm a big fan of the 'Harry Potter' movies and 'The Lord of the Rings' films.
love peace water
There is something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You're on earth but not quite.
people mystery certain
It's a mystery why certain people find certain things funny.
independent mainstream critics
A lot of times, mainstream critics are much tougher on small, independent movies because they can be.
doors rooms scripts
I end up improvising in almost everything to some degree, 'cause it's often necessary on movies. The script is one thing, and it's this kind of theory of what you're going to do, and then you get there on the day and you realize, "Oh, the script is not appropriate to this room, the door's over here."
stupid comedy committed
If I'm committed to something really stupid, then I'm in a comedy.
jobs laughing way
The way you get through having a shitty job is to laugh a lot and goof around.
confusing fans life-is
Life is often confusing and sad, and I'm a big fan of the slap and the tickle, as they say.
real hook fans
I'm a big fan of not letting the audience of off the hook, as they say. I like it when things feel real, and that's oftentimes not comfortable.
morning fighting way
Animation is a great way to work. No early morning call times, no make-up chair. In live action ,you're always fighting the clock; the sun is always going down too soon.
pills whisky consequence
I would say whisky or pills. Not both because that can have disastrous consequences.
mean acting cameras
Acting's all about the confidence you exude, especially on film. I mean, nervousness isn't attractive in anyone, but a film camera will seek it out and punish you.
idols giving people
Despite not looking like a matinee idol, I feel like I have a lot to give. I've never had any trouble with women. People are always surprised with the romantic aspect of my movies.
trying directors use
Whenever I work on something, I try and throw everything I have at it. Then if the director finds it useful they use it, and if not, they ignore it!
