But I like to go to movies with my son because it's still fun; it reminds me of why I make movies.- Antoine Fuqua
The movies that made me want to make movies were action movies, and thrillers, and Kurosawa films, you know, where you have an opportunity every day to shoot it in an unusual way. I was looking for something like that.
Growing up in the Philippines, I loved all kinds of movies. We had a very healthy film industry there when I was a child. It's now gotten very limited. They only make action movies and hard-core exploitation movies. Women get raped; men get shot.
Movies I liked growing up were like Francis Ford Coppolla movies and Scorsese movies.
I do not find movies interesting. I just want to do the movies that made me interested in getting into movies, and they're few and far between.
