fame
Celebrity, to me, is not a thing to seek.
smart stupid mean
I don't care. I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that. Some actors actually think about what they're going to talk about during the interview--they read up and meditate and plan quotes and get all inspired. It's very smart, but it's so planned. I never think to do that.
jobs cities guy
I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods. That's why I don't live in Los Angeles. Being physically away from Hollywood probably loses me a few jobs, but the best ones seek me out.
normal persons
I had to bring myself back down to being a normal person again.
worry people trying
I can't control how people are going to react. I try not to worry about what I can't control.
caught cherishes extreme great malady modern moments quiet
He is caught up in the modern malady of extreme busyness and stress. But he can have moments of great lucidity and humor, and he cherishes his moments of quiet in the church, and in prayer.
brothers rich sister

annual bit call funny high house ireland northern spent steve supposed three time
I've spent a lot of time with Steve, from Northern Ireland, to Sarajevo, to Utah, but probably most memorably, to our annual New Year's pilgrimages to our house in High Falls, where we have what we call in Ireland 'a bit of a piss-up' for three days. I know it's probably the time that I'm supposed to tell a funny story or two about Steve ... because he's such a funny man, but they're private. You're not going to get them.
laughing paul
Paul would be laughing with extras and saying, 'Yes, and then we could do that,' and, 'Let's try this,' and I'm like, 'OK, but we've got to go!'
annoying behind bit camera clock looking move paul scene
Paul sometimes would be a little bit annoying to me, because I'd be behind the camera on a scene I wasn't in, looking at the clock and going, 'Come on, we've got to move on,'
acting class high loner looked people signs turned walked
I never did acting in high school, ... I walked into acting class one day because they had signs for auditions. I looked around at the people and thought, 'I don't like any of these people.' And I turned around and walked out. But then again, I was kind of a loner in high school.
deep himself journey product question rocky spiritual
He's very much a product of the times. I think his spiritual journey is rocky but strong. I think he allows himself to question what's going on. But I think he has a deep and abiding faith.
girls sneak
I'd sneak out of the house to meet girls at 3:30 a.m.
