appreciate people support
It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.
jobs sight requirements
Depending on what my job requirement is, my techniques change. If something is incredibly difficult to connect to, and painful, then I have to do a lot of work to connect to that and not joke around or lose sight of my job.
bags
I bet they didn't tell you that was in the gift bag.
military real exercise
I did a real boot camp once which with The Thin Red Line which was learning military exercises and this was far less strenuous. I really had a blast. We were all kind of thrown into the woods and we didn't have any of the modern conveniences that we take for granted. Learned how to survive without anything.
thinking hands interesting
It's interesting because you feel on the one hand, we understand people from what the say, and in another sense, you'd think that you'd be able to convey more through dialogue.
mean issues village
Part of what attracted me to the village was it had a lot of parallels to contemporary issues. Like, fear and the way fear controls us. How the governing body of a town, or a nation, controls us through fear. They might mean well by it, but we are conditioned to be afraid of things. Fear of the unknown. Fear of terrorism. And it's unfortunate.
would-be boring earnest
It would be terribly boring to be earnest.
parent lines grew
I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that's kept me in line. Really in line.
trying pace sake
I try to pace myself and not work for the sake of working and stick to what inspired me prior to receiving recognition.
actors
I always had an actor within me.
life-changing men winning
It's interesting, winning an Academy Award as a young man... life-changing, but I'm just me within that. It's been very helpful for my career, but I'm trying to stay on the path I was on before.
thinking special-you avant-garde
What guides me is to do work that's more avant-garde - things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.
thinking people complicated
People think fame and money will bring you happiness. Fame actually makes life, especially human relationships, much more complicated.
war safety film
War is chaotic and when you start having a larger scale film and you have a lot of safety protocols and choreography, I would imagine it becomes more difficult.
