I had to choose, I'd be so sad. They are flip sides of the same coin. I love both comedy and drama.
I recently turned down a film that I didn't want my kids to see. Priorities shift. Sometimes I'm sad about that, but not enough to do anything about it.
Young people are more intelligent and sophisticated.
I look at the kids coming out of Yale. They are so intelligent with their careers. I wish I had that.
The studios are very much business. Maybe it was always that way. It is really commercial now. Judgments are made and directions are given to make the cash register ring.
I failed to fulfill what should have been an interesting role. I couldn't take their formula and bring what I had, my humor, my ideas, and make it my own.
Sweet things happen. They still do.
I shot Footloose nearby, and we used to hike. Very fond memories.
I'm more aware of time. The element of time.
What I love is a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. I'll just have peanut butter and bananas, then peanut butter and pickles. Peanut butter and chocolate I don't recommend.
Theater is not to make a living, so I don't have the money pressure.
I used to watch dailies and felt I had to keep on top of the character, but I don't feel that any more.
I've been grateful for what comes along.
Woody is so musical in his filmmaking. I've never worked with anyone I've trusted so completely. He won't let you hit a false note.
