I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie. They were fairly weak, the last half-dozen of villains in James Bond movies were not that convincing.

Roger Ebert was the last mammoth alive who was holding the flag for real movies and moviemakers.

Of course the entire planet Earth consists of magma under us, and only the very inner-core is different.

I believe the common denominator of the Universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility and murder.

For me, the distinction between documentaries and feature films is not so clear - my "documentaries" were largely scripted, rehearsed, and repeated, and have a lot of fantasy and concoction in them.

"Jack Reacher" was easy because the function of the villain was just to spread fear and horror.

I've never left my culture. I've left my country, but I've not left my culture. In the same way, you shouldn't be worried why George Lucas is going to the outer galaxy to make a movie. He's still making a film within his culture; he's making an American film. I go to Thailand or the Peruvian jungle, the Amazon, and I still make Bavarian films.
