care good late movies parents start watching
When you're young, you don't care about your parents and what they're doing. But then you get to your 20s, and you start watching their movies. And then you become an actor, as I did late in college, and then you're really watching them. And they were really very good.
opportunity guy trying
I'm known as a kind of dramatic, serious, almost humorless actor and the fact is, I'm a funny guy, and I spend most of my life trying to find a lighter side of things, and on stage was given plenty of opportunity to do that.
editing somewhere-else actors
In the editing room, 20 percent of the time you're using stuff from before the actor knew the camera was rolling or you're taking a line from somewhere else and putting it in his mouth.
new-york simple thinking
I only made two studio movies, that was a long time ago and obviously I removed myself. I think some of that is geographical. I live in New York and I want to work there, it's as simple as that.
enforcement littles needs
I make little movies, you know, they need all the help that they can get.
book waiting trying
Most of us... are simply just trying to get through the day. And wait for those times in their life that are markers, that put things into relief. That's why we like movies and books so much.
two hours seats
What we do at its very, very best, at its very, very most, will shift us slightly in our seat. If only for two hours, great. If for the rest of our lives, even better.
people swallowing desert
The high desert has an effect on people. The place has a way of swallowing you up.
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.
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.
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.
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?'
thinking doors people
I think people tend to live, whether they like it or not, influenced by what's next door to them.
work lazy laziness
Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst.
