[on Gremlins (1984)] What I like in movies especially are movies that do things that you can’t do in real life and show you things that you can’t see by walking out in the street. And there have been a lot of great movies that show you real life as it is lived and should be lived. But my favorite kind of movies are the ones that show you things that you can’t see anywhere but in the movies. And this picture? Believe me, you’ll never see this stuff except in the movies.

My music has a high irritation factor. I’ve always tried to say something. Eccentric lyrics about eccentric people. Often it was a joke. But I would plead guilty on the grounds that I prefer eccentricity to the bland.

[on the Bush administration] The US and the world just didn’t deserve these people. They’re a good deal worse. They don’t even know the rules.

[on the underestimated value of compact discs and record stores, eclipsed by MP3’s and the Internet] Did you ever try to autograph an I-Pod? I tried, once… which, for me, was plenty.

[Why he doesn’t miss The Daily Show after two months] Because I feel like I completed it. It’s when you feel like you completed a project to the best of your ability. When you’ve done the best that you think you’re able to do, so I have no regrets. All I can do now is be happy that I had that opportunity, the joy in creating it, growing it, evolving it and maintaining it.

[on political redundancy and rhetoric] every candidate says something along these lines,”vote for me, I know where you’re coming from, I’m just like each and every one of you, here’s an idea, don’t be me, be better than me, be better than me so you can keep me safe at night, be better…

I think that there’s room for everyone. I don’t think that if one person succeeds then another must fail. That’s lunacy. I’m not sure what the reasons are for my philosophy, maybe it’s the fact that if there are ten people doing the same job, we all know how we feel and what our high points and low points are.

Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.

Heroes always make the right decision; I find that seldom happens in my life.

While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.

Alfonso Cuarón

Born: November 28, 1961 in Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico

[on ‘Gravity’] The camera is a third astronaut, and that astronaut is the audience. The audience is floating in space, following these characters who are bonded by the loss of physics in zero gravity, floating and rolling and spinning. The idea is to immerse the audience so that your emotional experience is projected onto the screen in a primal way.

The most important thing for us is that all of this stuff, and all of this technology, are only tools to achieve the cinematic experience and cinematic moment. For us, the conceptual aspect behind it and the theoretical aspect of what we were trying to convey was more important. All of the technology was in service of that.

Anytime you have an opportunity as an actor to really grow along with your character, I think that’s a real gift.

I would definitely like to continue playing Aquaman. Playing a superhero is a lot of fun. Creating these stories is a lot of fun. I do what I love. And what I love is entertaining people.
