I read the book and I think, "Well, this is the movie we're going to make," and then someone else reads it, and they take a completely different movie from it. And both are valid.
I have a very bad relationship with mice.
Chickens, cows, and pigs in factory farms spend their whole lives in filthy, cramped conditions, only to die a prolonged and painful death.
You sleep with people all the time that you hate.
My family would be supportive if I said I wanted to be a Martian, wear only banana skins, make love to ashtrays, and eat tree bark.
Since I left school, I've been working on my music career. I would love to be a musician... I wish I could just sit around and play music for myself, but I can't. I just don't have the skills... the skills to pay the bills.
I'm not that into the fake meat anymore. The familiar texture makes the transition from meat to soy and wheat products easier, but it's kind of limiting. There are lots of great ways to prepare meatless dishes without simulating meat.
If you look at the paths of other actors, most people have a curve where you hit it and there's a time where you make a lot of money and they let you make your movies, and then they take it away and it's gone.
I have had a turtle, a guinea pig, a dog, girlfriends, and many sweet, playful, sleepy, loving, delicious cats. I love the way cats look at me.
I love it: The push and pull, the constant renegotiating of morals, ethics, what to do, how to live... All of us stuck here together trying to sort it all out. It's fun. It can be, anyway.
Directors will have a different idea than I have. It will rarely be a perfect match.
I also learned to separate my experience on the set from how I felt about my performance in the movie. Because most of the time I just hate myself.
I once came out of the hotel, and Brad Pitt was in front of me. There were all these fans out there and he walked out. I knew they were going to yell or something, but then they all just dropped down and died on the ground. Like 400 girls just simultaneously fell on the ground and died.
I think David Letterman is a genius. Night after night he is funny and smart. He seems to really enjoy his jokes. They seem connected to who he really is. I like watching him, and there is no one better at turning an awkward moment into something very funny.
