I think of Ray Harryhausen's work - I knew his name before I knew any actor or director's names. His films had an impact on me very early on, probably even more than Disney. I think that's what made me interested in animation: His work. Read Summary
I'm a visual learner, so film is a huge inspiration to me. Read Summary
I love 'An American in Paris.' That's the one for me. Some of the visual ideas in that film are just haunting and very free. Read Summary
I don't like the process of meeting someone and you make a film and that's it. You think you're just getting started, and then it's over. Read Summary

I'm sad to see celluloid go, there's no doubt. But, you know, nitrate went, by the way, in 1971.

Film spectators are quiet vampires. Read Summary
In 'Pacific Rim' I had to have a haircut I wouldn't usually rock. However, the moustache I had in the film - that might have to come out again. It was a good moustache. Good times. Read Summary
Bond? It is a bit like saying, 'Do you want to play Superman?' Anyone would dream of it. It's one of the most coveted roles in film. I'd be honoured. But I don't know if it will actually happen.

Alfred Hitchcock once told me, when I was analyzing a lot of things about his pictures, 'Clint, you must remember, it's only a movie.' Read Summary
I like a drama. Read Summary
A lot of artists fail when they try to act, and they flop. So when I get into acting, it's going to be to do it well, something good, something of quality. I want people to say, 'Wow, that movie' - or that show or whatever - 'turned out really well.' Read Summary
