The distribution systems and the cinemas have adopted to the blockbusters, and they now get their main income from selling popcorn, and if you don't make a film that sells popcorn, it's very hard to get it out there.
Kenneth Branagh is one of the funniest directors on the set. You laugh a lot. He's very skillful.
I really enjoy being part of the Marvel Universe. It's a cool bunch of people to work with, and they know what they're doing.
I've made six films for Disney, and they have a clause in their contracts called the morality clause that I've always refused to sign.
I know how to cut meat, yeah. I know how to cook, basically.
The only respect you should have is the one you earn.
Even with limited success as an actor, you usually have a more interesting life than in many other professions, so it's not an unreasonable choice.
The Sermon on the Mount is a very nice piece about being good, but most of the Bible is a very revengeful, childish, brutal God.
I wanted to be a man who travelled the world to make peace. I didn't realise that most diplomats are megaphones for their governments.
I reflect over my actions; I don't dwell on them.
When you have kids, you see what's important.
Acting is such a strange, vague profession, but my kids know it's hard labour.
Of course, working with Halle Berry is fantastic. Every day, you're looking at a performance that you would be prepared to pay to watch. She's truly great and truthful, and it's a joy.
I'm not always happy when Hollywood does remakes of films, but that's usually when they have a very, very, very good film, and they take away anything controversial from it and make flatter.
When we did 'Breaking the Waves,' he had a sign on the wall that said, 'Make mistakes.'
I go where I think I can enjoy myself. Sometimes it's on a big movie, and sometimes it's even on a silly movie.
How many big American films do you see where the heroine has no vanity whatsoever?
Very often, it's the director that I'm attracted to. If it's a really good director, I don't even have to read the script to say yes.
It's a disease we have that we think that everything is explainable. It's a merchandising idea because you can sell explanations and cures for everything, but it doesn't work like that. It's very hard to understand everything.
I like working with Kenneth Branagh.
