On the upcoming megabudget remake of Ben-Hur…
“It’s amazing. Like, it’s a proper, proper, proper movie, man.I was like, ‘This. Is. Why. We. Make. Movies. This is what gets me jazzed.’”
Why he bought on Amazon every movie his grandfather (John Huston) and great-grandfather (Walter Huston) ever made…
“I can say to my daughter, ‘That’s your great-great-grandfather. That’s your great-aunt up there, directed by your great-grandfather. It’s the coolest thing in the world. I started crying when I thought about it.”
On interviews in hotels…
“You always feel like a bit of a knob doing an interview in the middle of a hotel with everyone around thinking, There’s that pretentious f*** over there, talking about himself.“
