Boy, there's nothing more thrilling than a chase. I'd often thought, over the years, that someone should do a whole film where it's nothing but a chase.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
It's the demand of all demands to do a car chase that's unique because there are so many... really since the beginning of film, even in the silent era, 'The Keystone Cops.'
Making a film is beyond exciting. It's so exciting, it's exhausting.
Pursuit is a rather desperate act in itself. There's something kind of frantic about the notion of pursuit.
If you chase something too desperately, it eludes you.
The greatest thrill is that moment when a thousand people are sitting in the dark, looking at the same scene, and they are all apprehending something that has not been spoken. That's the thrill of it, the miracle - that's what holds us to movies forever. It's what we wish we could do in real life.
One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.
Thrillers are an enormous amount of fun for filmmakers.
Making movies is all about instinct.
I didn't want to chase movies. It's too hard. You've got to work at it - opening nights, photo shoots, publicity people, managers. I never wanted to do that. I'm too lazy.
