crazy dark ideas
This idea of perpetual happiness is crazy and overrated, because those dark moments fuel you for the next bright moments; each one helps you appreciate the other.
gay reality matter
Gay marriage is inevitable. The next generation, they get it. It is just a matter of time before it becomes a reality.
funny order insightful
You must lose everything in order to gain anything.
bragging missouri ifs
In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging.
makeup men thinking
You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I'm a f***ing actor! They hand me a script. I act. I'm here for entertainment, basically, when you whittle everything away. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.
over-you age youth
Personally I like ageing. With age comes wisdom and I have said it before and I say it again, I will take wisdom over youth any day.
filling-in stories film
For me a film is at its best when you can start filling in the story with your own life experience.
america perception needs
We, in America, love a story - we need a story to get involved in. But then everything becomes more about how the story protects a certain perception as we pick sides.
firsts done window
Family comes first so I only have this specific window of time available to me and because of that I actually get more done.
stories actors
I got into [producing] to be part of stories that wouldn't necessarily be right for me as an actor.
kids years heaven
I come from the belief that all good films find their time whether it's on opening week or sometime later. That's certainly true with some of my favourite films that might relate to this [The Assassination of Jesse James] film in terms of cadence like Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, or McCabe & Mrs Miller or Days of Heaven. I found them 10 to 20 years after they were made.
horse successful decision
The choice or decision to take on a film certainly isn't calculated as far as doing something that will be successful against something that will have a smaller audience. It's all a gamble to me, I don't bet on the horses; I just go with the story that speaks to me and that I feel strongly about which is this one [The Assassination of Jesse James].
play ideas film
[Robert]Ford had the idea that through fame he would receive some personal validity, but he didn't. I feel that these are not the main themes, but certainly themes that are at play in this film [ Assassination of Jesse James].
character years lasts
Jesse [James]was known as a kind of Robin Hood character and also it was known that his exploits were somewhat dubious - however, he perpetuated this myth. Our film [The Assassination of Jesse James ] really takes place at the end of all that, the last year of his life, at the end of all that celebrity.
