ben cannes forth incredibly interviews jaded near next nowhere thrilled
One day I'm lugging walls back and forth in Louisville, and the next day I'm at Cannes giving interviews next to Ben Kingsley. I'm nowhere near cynical or jaded enough not to be incredibly thrilled by that.
notion perhaps
I had a very misguided notion of what 'network notes' were. I thought they were well-meant suggestions, perhaps urgently meant, but just suggestions nonetheless. And actually, they're demands. You have to do them, or you will not be paid.
defined serves
I'm a Jesuit when it comes to structure, but I really think that structure is defined by character. Everything serves that master.
comedy funny love showing trying until work
I really love showing up at work at 10 A.M., trying to make it funny until 3 P.M., and then going home. It's like comedy bankers' hours.
instilled
My first show was 'No Exit.' You couldn't find a more pretentious beginning, but it also instilled some sense of quality.
dressed fantastic
After my first movie was released, my wife and I went Bouley. A fantastic meal. The whole thing, getting dressed up, acting very adult-y, a lot of fun.
movies stage
I never thought about movies. I never thought about Hollywood. It was just being on the stage and being in New York.
invited promptly school thrown
I was going to be in an acting school in London, and then I promptly got thrown out of an acting school in London. Well, it wasn't that I got thrown out as much as I was not invited back, which is the same thing, just more polite.
fill forced form tax
I think, basically, I am an actor. Sometimes I'm an actor who's writing and sometimes an actor who's directing, but I think if I'm forced to fill out a form for my tax return, 'actor' is the first thing I write down.
perpetual state
I picture Generation X as young adults living in a state of perpetual adolescence.
music playing sets visitors
I like a no-drama set. I welcome visitors by and large; I like music playing on sets between set-ups - all that stuff.
