I went to film school, so I certainly know how to make things quickly and cheaply. But at the same time, I have the experience of working with Steve Starkey for three years. I watched him produce some gigantic movies.
Look at the films of Walt Disney: ‘Snow White’ came out in February 1938, and I can’t think of another film from that year that’s watched as much. The same is true of ‘Bambi,’ ‘Dumbo’… even, frankly, ‘Toy Story,’ which is probably watched more than any other movie of 1995.
I work with kids, and I see certain things, so I realize now why my mother was so horrified and overprotective of everything that I watched.
I’ve watched ‘Clueless’ as many times as humanly possible. Like, I would run home from school to watch it. Like, I can quote it backwards.
I’d love to look like my mum when I am her age. She taught ballet for years, and my attitude to exercise and fitness has definitely been influenced by her. She’s 84 now, and I’ve watched how well she has aged, and a lot of that is to do with her fantastic posture.
I watched ‘Billy Madison’ maybe 80 times. It’s my favourite movie. Watched it, like, a million times. My brother and sister watched it with me all the time.
Comedy is really best when watched with other people, and I don’t really understand people who sit at home watching comedy movies on Netflix.
I belonged to the ‘Point Break’ generation – I watched the original when I was 13 years old. It’s basically the story of the rescue of the human spirit, and we continue to fight that same spiritual battle, but with a political expression.
I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren’t as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn’t look right.
‘Lost’ did alright, you know. Not that I didn’t get into it – I just never watched enough of them; but the uphill battle is that you’ve got to stay tuned.
I haven’t been watching any TV recently because I’ve been on the road, but I am an avid ‘EastEnders’ fan. I’ve watched it all my life, and so have my family.
Technically, ‘Kukla, Fran and Ollie’ was a kids’ show, but adults watched almost religiously – and we’re talking adult adults, celebrated adults – including James Thurber, Orson Welles, John Steinbeck, Adlai E. Stevenson and lyricist Stephen Sondheim.
I’m happy that people have watched and appreciated my work. That’s why I’m doing it.
I’m not necessarily a horror fan. I just never really watched them that much.
I don’t like reality shows and have never watched them, but I’m addicted to ‘Real Housewives’ because it’s authentic old-time soap opera reborn!
‘Shark Tank’ is fun, but it’s all business. We use our own money, and the competition between the sharks is fierce. More importantly, it’s an opportunity to invest in businesses that are being watched and considered by millions of people every time it’s shown.
When you’re on TV and in people’s houses – it’s great that anybody watches anything you’ve done, but you feel as though you’re being watched by Big Brother sometimes. Even if people have no idea who you are, you get the feeling you’re being watched.
When I was a teenager, my dad watched my films and told me I could go to art college and study animation. He made me see that I could do this for a living.
Many people who have watched ‘Pieta’ have said my filmmaking has become more objective.
The first video I ever watched was on a Beta system because everyone thought Beta was the way but then it ended up being video so we backed the wrong horse.
I love the Spider-Man story. I watched the cartoon on TV when I was a kid, and my brother wore his Spider-Man pyjamas everywhere.
I watched Gretzky, I watched Lemieux. Maybe it’s the time when you’re playing, but for a kid coming into the league, you play the Boston Bruins and you just watched Bobby Orr.
People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly, longing for death.
We’re very much focused on full shareholder-value return. We have to get our stock moving. But I won’t do something in the short run that I don’t feel is right for the long run. That, I’ve watched many CEOs do.
Some of my favorite actors are Gene Wilder and Eddie Murphy back in the day – that’s mainly what me and my brothers watched when we were kids.
I’ve watched a lot of people who became famous who completely change and I think it’s because they tend to believe all the hype that’s out there. I don’t think there’s that much hype about me.
I watched ‘Holiday’ in college, and that was when I had my first fantasy of being Katharine Hepburn, standing at the top of the staircase in a huge Hollywood mansion.
As an actor, there’s a bit of you that’s decided you want to be looked at and watched, but there’s a paradoxical bit that wants to run away.
But now I have a lot of little kids who watched Invader Zim whenever they could find it on television.
That professionalism comes from what I’ve watched people do on the set. I’m just trying to be as respectful to the environment, as they have been. I think I still act like a kid. I just try to be as professional as I can.
My parents didn’t hide reality. I watched cartoons and the news with equal fascination.
‘Border’ was the first movie that I watched on the big screen. It always takes me back to my childhood.
Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Will Ferrell, those guys mean so much to me because I watched those guys and how they transform and watch the commitment to what they do. I admire them.
That movie ‘Hellraiser 2’ – to me, that was the most evilest display of evil I’ve ever seen. I watched that movie ten times because I couldn’t believe that each character became more evil than the other.
I think that where I’ve watched a movie go wrong, it’s usually because the dread committee has been interfering with it.
When I was a kid, I was a big fan of the regional scene. I read ‘Pro Wrestling Illustrated,’ and I watched Portland Wrestling and everything I could.
I’m quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I’ve been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.
One of my all-time favorite photographers is Irving Penn. I wish I could have watched him work.
I watched Italia ’90 with my Mum and Dad and my brother, you know, leaping around the house when the penalties were on… It would be great to be part of that, to have that kind of impact.
The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people’s obsession. I feel watched 90% of the time, but that is something I drew with the cards that I drew.
I never was obsessive about anything I watched when I was a kid, except maybe ‘The A-Team’ and ‘Airwolf’… And I loved ‘Knight Rider’ and then later ‘Baywatch.’
I remember watching ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ when I was quite young, I was about 12, or 13, and I watched it, thinking, ‘Wow. That is pretty cool. I’d like to do something like that.’
I grew up in Middle America and I don’t think my family was very funny, but I watched ‘The Princess Bride.’ I always wanted to be an actor. I didn’t know anything about it. I’d never seen any plays or anything and I watched that movie over and over and over again.
I genuinely liked all of the cast members very much. Steve had a wicked sense of humor. I remember Russell coming to my rescue, once. I watched Eric evolve before everyone’s eyes. Maurice loved what he did, so. He treated his character with respect, down to the costuming.
I don’t know how ‘X Factor’ works. I was only there as a guest judge for a day. But I watched ‘The Voice’ a lot; I respected how it came across on TV, and I love the freedom we get as coaches to do what we want.
I watched a lot of old television growing up – a lot of Nick at Nite. I watched ‘Rhoda’, ‘Mary Tyler Moore’, and ‘I Love Lucy.’ Growing up, I loved ‘My So Called Life’ and was devastated when that went off the air.
Watching yourself on film, if you’ve never watched yourself on film before, you want to go crawl into bed and stay there for a week.
Am I a slacker? I can be a slacker. When I was in college, most people got summer jobs for college or did research during college. I went home and watched TV the whole day for three months; it was really awesome.
I watched the documentary ‘I Hate Christian Laettner,’ and I really hate Christian Laettner. It made me understand why everybody hates Christian Laettner and Duke basketball. I mean, they’re just a bunch of preppy white boys from Tobacco Road or whatever.
Have you ever watched someone become American? Last week, at a national citizenship conference I organize, thirty immigrants from 17 countries swore an oath and became citizens of the United States. It was a stirring experience for the hundreds of people in the room.
My agent asked if I fancied Robin Hood and I thought: ‘Yeah, why not?’ I hadn’t watched it, to be honest, but I’d seen bits and knew it was really popular Saturday family viewing with heaps of action. I thought it would be great fun. I was up for a good old play-fighting and the scripts were terrifically exciting.
I wanted to be Beetlejuice. I watched nonstop ‘Beetlejuice’ and ‘The Princess Bride’ growing up.
You know I’ve watched the All-Star game as a little boy… and to have the opportunity now to play in it is so overwhelming.
