I don't think I'd ever be cruel to an animal.
Dogs are the broccaflower of the animal kingdom.
Our human nature is exactly the same as it was 500 years ago, let alone five years ago.
I don't think you could function on set if you think like that. I think once you start to think of the impact, then you're not really coming from a truthful place. I think the best thing to do for me is what's worked in the past.
If young actors ask me things, I always tell them to get on set and watch how it's done. If you can, watch the people that you like, how they work.
I don't discount belief. I just discount most of the things that people believe in.
I'm actually thinking about getting back to being a bath tub. I don't think anyone's ever quite segued into that.
Sex is great until you die, but it's never as great as it was when you were a kid, when it was a mystery.
