I've always maintained my name will not define my films, my films will define my name. But I wish I was called Steve, or something else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd never really considered film. If I'd thought about film more growing up, I probably would have changed my name. I had no concept of my name in lights.
People say, 'I love 'Snatch,' I love 'Lock Stock,' but I want to be more than a movie name. I'd love to be more of a household name.
I'm still trying to get over the fact that my name is being mentioned with people like Brad Pitt.
Your lineage and surname become irrelevant after your first film. Audiences do not care.
I still haven't made a film that defines who I am.
I love when people in culture show up on fictional TV shows. I don't mind at all being a name from the '90s.
My nickname is Bondy. But not because of the Bond films - it was my surname a long time before I did those.
I would rather my films be well-known than I be well-known.
People think that I changed my name. I could've been an actress, a superhero, or a stripper.
I made a decision back in 1978 that, in a trade off for money when I directed Halloween, I would have my name above the title in order to basically brand these movies my own.
