I just rely on the text to speak for itself and then speak it as I believe it to interpret it, and then just know that the rules of the world that we're creating allow for things to come to life, and then just trust in the process of making a film. Hopefully we'll make a sequel, because if we do, we had such a great time as an ensemble, I think the best thing to do would be to just take the whole cast back. This is Iain's idea and I agree with it. Just reincarnate all the characters and put them back into the world. There's no rules. Why couldn't we do that?
I haven't been one since I did a film called (coughs) Encino Man (laughing). After two or three runs with Pauly Shore, I had enough. Watching this film in 3D as far as rollercoasters go really fills it for me.
The test audience holds a great deal of power in the process of filmmaking in the United States.
They had a hard time miking me in my loin cloth, I mean, where were they gonna tape it?
George of the Jungle is a cartoon. He's a guy who swings around on a vine all day. Are you not buying that?
The other day, when my 4-year-old saw a flowering tree and said, "Daddy, it's raining petals," that was poetry that just melted my heart into a mushy, yummy Fudgsicle.
Horrible things happen, but were they horrible? No, they were just circumstances of the world
Of course I was a dork, but that's OK. Because all the coolest people I know were dorks.
Burroughs was never really that pleased with the way popular culture and society treated his character. He tried to make a few movies of his own as a result, but they weren't very good.
I still don't understand the music industry that much. Everything I learned was from hanging out with rock musicians in studios. I certainly have respect for those who make music their livelihood.
I always approach comedy roles pretending they aren't funny
I wanted to have the opportunity to travel to Vietnam and Sydney, and have the chance to work there.
I wish the rock 'n' roll scene to be back in
As sophisticated as the technology gets, the less sophisticated you have to become as an actor
