Acting was a hobby for me when I started out, or maybe it was because there weren't a lot of examples of me when I found an interest in this art form.
I was always a design junkie.
I was always toying with the idea of acting.
Somebody gave me this drum machine and somebody else asked me to program something for a project. I really liked programming and I was really interested in using the drum machine.
I'm not really a sequel guy. I did 'Angels & Demons' after 'The Da Vinci Code,' because I like working with Hanks, and I felt it was a really different sort of world that we were visiting. That was, of itself, interesting.
As the soul of the film it has to work for you otherwise you don't take it up at all. It takes two years of your life, you better be interested in it. When you know it's something you can do well, that's when you take it up.
I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
My mom used to sell fabric and lace when I was younger. She would bring back these elaborate fabrics from Nigeria. I always enjoyed being around it. However, it wasn't until I started making music that I started taking a vested interest.
I'm way into writing, as much as I can.
We were contracted to make a soundtrack album but there really wasn't enough new material in the movie to make a new record that I thought was interesting.
I have to be absolutely drawn to the project. If you're ashamed or bored by it at the beginning, it's going to be a pretty nightmarish thing.
Fine art is really something I want to get into.
I love comics. Comics are something I've always wanted to do.
I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another.
I chose films made by people I wanted to work with, about subject matter I thought was intriguing.
I like Star Wars, it's fun and I enjoy doing it. But it's definitely not my life. I'm a bigger movie fan than I am Star Wars fan. I like making movies.
When I see a story, I ask: is this something I'd like to be in? Is this something I'd like to see? And if I'd like to see it, would I like to tell it?
It's not that I only want to make films about women, but from my experience, I have been very interested in the women who play these characters.
Art experts are unfailingly opposed to Art for the simple reason that they are interested in Art - but Art is not interested in Art. Art is interested in life.
To me, the more bizarre the character, the more I'm attracted to it.
I would love to be able to tap dance.
Though I have started pursuing acting, there is no stopping for me from scoring music because music has always been my passion, though acting is my interest.
I would love to learn how to paint motorcycles and stuff like that. I really, really am fascinated by that.
I was a bit odd. I read books and wanted to draw and go to art school.
I got my hair braided at this event once, and when I got the pictures back from it, I just became obsessed with them. They're kind of my thing now.
