writing effort film
If you take the time and put in the effort to write your own material and absolutely refuse to be denied the right to make your film it is difficult whatever colour you are.
movie watches film
I'm not a film buff. I don't watch a lot of movies.
acting film good-things
One good thing about acting in film is that it's good therapy.
acting film reason
The only reason I'm acting in films I direct is to get the money to make them, quite frankly, it's not what I'm interested in doing.
waiting actors roles
That's what I tell young actors. "You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role."
christian men spirituality
Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: "My god is right, yours is wrong." Religion to me is the human condition. "If you're a Muslim, you can't be a Christian." That to me is religion.
play guy taught
As an actor in the theater you're taught that you never play a bad guy. You have to love who you are. You can't say, "Oh, I'm a bad guy." How do you play that?
nice home people
There's things that I can do as an actor that I couldn't do in any other form of life and I've got a strange personality. But film requires strange people, so I've got a nice comfy home.
dog cat independent
Cats are too independent. They piss me off. They play when they want, and then they turn their back on you. Dogs, you throw the ball, and they bring it back, tongue hanging out, tail wagging. Cats are like "Not right now, too busy." Definitely a dog man. Except when it comes to cleaning up after them! Cats win that!
real old-friends actors
I actually don't hang out with any celebrities. My closest friends are old friends. And my real close friends, none of them are actors.
monsters logic make-sense
I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.
thinking knows
I always think it's not what we know that's terrifying; it's what we don't know. That's sort of pervasive with everything in life.
morning children acting
Acting, it's not my life, my children and my family, that's life. I'll get up every morning, God willing, for that.
winning sociopath
A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.
