attitude guy maybe original past surprising whether
When I read reviews, I go right past the plot. I don't want to read anything about the story, and I just get a take on whether or not I like the attitude of this guy first of all, or woman, and then to see if it has things in it that are surprising and original and then maybe I'll go see it.
explore front interest reason
The reason I got into acting was not to explore myself. I was a reader, I didn't care about acting. I got into it in college, but I had no interest really in that, in getting up in front of anybody.
call
You can do anything you want as long as you don't call it what it is,
movies produce
When you produce and direct, your movies are different to you. They're not just something you act in.
crazy years interesting
I had been to New Mexico many times. I loved it. It's a very exotic, interesting, severely crazy environment. I don't know if I could live there all year. It's such an intense place.
work lazy laziness
Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst.
thinking doors people
I think people tend to live, whether they like it or not, influenced by what's next door to them.
hair people tiny
I'm 47, I have gray hair, and yet people still come up to me on the street who are in their twenties, who weren't even born when 'Singles' was made...well, they were pretty tiny, anyway...and they say, 'Oh, I love that movie 'Singles.'' And I always say, 'How old are you?'
rain the-end-of-the-day ends
I just wanna get to the end of the day without it raining.
thinking sick too-much
I tend to turn down roles that are too much like me, what I think is most like me anyhow, because I'm me all the time and I'm sick of it.
morning sleep night
Directing is: you're overwhelmed the whole time. Your mind never stops. If you care about it. You wake up in the morning and you begin thinking about it and then you go to sleep at night and you're still thinking about it.
running jobs thinking
As you get older, I think everyone feels that, no matter what the job: to try a hand at running the business as opposed to simply being an employee.
spiritual trying directors
Part of the advantage, and part of the result of trying to be a producer and director, are the practical things, you find. It's so advantageous to go to a place that you already have a feel for, a literal and spiritual familiarity.
people swallowing desert
The high desert has an effect on people. The place has a way of swallowing you up.
