I'm not a trained actor. I'm someone who is autodidactic and learned on my own.

I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.

I had been making a lot of family oriented movies, which I also like. But I still have a passion for the midnight audience and for midnight movies.

Actors work with their look. I come from the Lon Chaney Sr. school of acting. I'll wear wigs, I'll wear nose pieces, I'll wear green contact lenses in my eyes. I'll do whatever I need to do to create a character.

I just want to keep making movies that hopefully makes some kids smile.

I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you’re really going about it the wrong way.

Nobody can make a movie as exciting as Jerry Bruckheimer. When it's a Jerry Bruckheimer movie that it's going to have lots of chrome and gloss, it's going to be sexy, and it's going to be big and fun.
