I have no tattoos. There's nothing I've even been that into to get a tattoo of it.

Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.

I think filmmakers, in general... There are some awesome, really great filmmakers - but on the whole, filmmakers, actors, I think they are the biggest bunch of whiny, over-paid babies on the planet.

Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.

I love movies that are just straight-up exploitation, but the ones that endure and the ones that last are the ones where the filmmakers put in that extra level of thought; after 25 years you put them on in front of an audience, and they'll respond to it and enjoy it.

I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.
