I was fascinated by movies from age 12.
I always enjoyed movies and in hindsight I realise how captivating they were to me.
It was the television that turned me to film. My parents did take me to Pete's Dragon.
I like to watch 'Paris, Texas,' but I have no desire to see it. I did it.
I was obsessed with Jack Nicholson. Like, I watched 'Prizzi's Honor' when I was, like, 11.
For a while, my favorite movie was 'Vertigo.' Everything in that movie was captivating to me.
I could talk about Blade Runner forever.
I used to just daydream all the time about being in movies, from the age of, like, four onwards. I would sit down and watch movies with my father and my grandfather, and always pretended that I was in the stories.
I would have loved to have been in a Hitchcock movie.
When I was a little kid, I wanted to be, like, you know, a movie star, you know? Or, I always have interest in movie, you know? Because I like the visual aspect of the movies, et cetera.
I have had a lifelong fascination with horror movies, scary movies, how they work.
It's always fun to see faces that are either familiar or resemble yours. I was fascinated by movies like 'Big Trouble in Little China' growing up because there were so many Asian people in it! The same with 'Year of the Dragon' or 'The Last Emperor'. It was just so great to see so many Asian actors working.
I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them.
I don't know what draws me to my films. In hindsight, my choices turn out OK.
Even from a really young age I was a huge movie buff - five, six, seven, eight. Just loved movies, but in a more in-depth way than most kids that loved movies at that time. I'd find a filmmaker or something and want to see all his movies.
I've always been fascinated by Baretta and Donny Brasco, and other undercover cops in movies.
I've always been drawn to movies where I get a chance to look into a world that I kind of know about, but that I never really get to see what's happening behind the doors.
There was another Judy Garland movie on TV, and it wasn't 'The Wizard of Oz,' and I was so confused. I was like, 'Wait a second, what is Dorothy doing in this movie?' And that's when I became fascinated. I didn't realize there were actors.
