'Looper' was a wonderful script. Rian Johnson is the real deal and a really talented filmmaker.

'Looper' was so brilliant, and it took me forever to finally see it, but the way that movie ends and the message behind that is so selfless.

Unlike some of the time-travel movies I love, like 'Primer' or '12 Monkeys,' 'Looper' is not about time travel. It's about this situation that time travel creates and the people dealing with that situation. So narratively, the big challenge was to have time travel get out of the way.

The only movie I can watch on a loop, over and over, is 'Help', the Beatles movie. It's so funny and irreverent and great.

'Looper' is about what your 55-year-old self would tell your 25-year-old self over a cup of coffee. It's about finding love in the third act of your life. It's about overcoming trauma and the idea of true sacrifice.

Oh, my gosh, I've never seen a film unless, you know, if I have to go and do ADR, loop-loop. But I don't watch after. I'm too critical.

My first gig ever was writing looplines for a movie that had already been made. You know, writing lines over somebody's back to explain something, to help make a connection, to add a joke, or to just add babble because the people are in frame and should be saying something.

I got my story, my dream, from America. The hero I had is Forrest Gump... I like that guy. I've been watching that movie about 10 times. Every time I get frustrated, I watch the movie. I watched the movie before I came here again to New York. I watched the movie again telling me that no matter whatever changed, you are you.

By the nature of cinema and how it literalizes what we envision, movies can have difficulty replicating that connection we make with a classic book.

The biggest part of Loopt is about discovering the world around you, never replacing a social experience - only adding to it.
