feelings sometimes yeah
You read something and you just feel this makes sense. And sometimes before you even read it you have a feeling that yeah, I'm probably gonna do this one.
writing thinking directors
I'm not really a full-time director, I just like to direct the things that I write because I think I'm going to know it better than someone else.
moving cutting thinking
These days movies are cut very quickly and sort of fragmented and I tend to do slower moving stories where people develop relationships with people. I think I'd probably do a lot better if I lived in Europe - I think it's more of a European sensibility somehow.
type knows know-how
I don't know how to type so I handwrite everything.
thinking southern quality
I think maybe I was instrumental in taking the stereotype out of the Southern actor is some ways. I would hope my legacy would be as a serious actor who told the truth and did parts based on the quality of part and not necessarily the money.
stars thinking actors
I never expected to be a movie star. It's not that I didn't want to be, I didn't think about it. I wanted to be an actor.
religious believe thinking
I think people can live a religious life and yet believe in things maybe outside the box a little bit.
kids want hips
Kids won't watch older movies - they want to see what's hip right now.
stars audience
Basically there are no stars anymore. The audience is the star.
character blessing play
Anytime you get a chance to play some extreme character, in any direction, it's always a great blessing.
people television want
People want the truth but they only want the truth so they can talk bad about you on the blog or on television. They want you to tell them the truth and it screws everybody.
communication medicine computer
Nothing wrong with computer as things. They can work wonders in communications and business and medicine and everything else.
stars simple bothering-you
When people are bothering you constantly when you're trying to do just a simple thing that humans do every day but they won't let you do it without bugging you about it, that was a hard thing. Because I became a movie star overnight. From a working actor and working writer to a movie star.
