gay establishment not-afraid
Obviously I'm not there to pick up anybody, but I'm not afraid to hang out in a predominantly gay establishment.
changes character connection fall improvement lead likely love woman
When you're the one character that changes dramatically in the movie ... it better be a change for the better. I think it's an improvement on the past. It's a more likely relationship. A screenwriter would fall in love with the woman he's writing for, his lead actress. I think there wasn't really enough of a love connection on the first one.
beings hold human leading man proves sensitive studio tough
I think it proves I can hold my own in a big studio movie, and I can play a leading man without making him a stereotypical leading man. We can be sensitive human beings in this world and be tough guys, too.
advertising elements essential movies people reading stories whether
I think people go to movies and they know too much about the movie before they go into it, whether it's the advertising or they're reading too many stories about it. And they know all the essential elements of the film before they even go into it. And I think that sabotages a thriller.
kids imagination trying
I was a wild, mischievous kid, and I had tremendous imagination. Any experience I had, I'd try to reenact it.
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.
thinking people complicated
People think fame and money will bring you happiness. Fame actually makes life, especially human relationships, much more complicated.
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.
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.
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.
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.
bags
I bet they didn't tell you that was in the gift bag.
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.
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.
