This festival is amazing. I've wanted to come here for so long, and to be here for just a night is torture.
The story ends up being a journey of self-discovery.
Not just a benchmark in my career, but a benchmark in my life,
I really have the greatest time at these events because I am a fan first, I am a gamer, I am a film fan and a horror buff, so I am here as a fan as well as a kind of featured guest.
It had a profound impact on me as a human being, and I did a lot of growing within that, so that will always be a defining moment in my life, a defining time.
I loved the story, the comedy and how emotional it becomes. It was also an opportunity to do something different to what I had done before.
He's kind of this empty vessel of a character, ... His awkward sensibilities, his neuroses, I loved those things. . . .
The idea of developing something from the ground up and ultimately seeing it through to production and finish it as a film is a really exciting concept and, I imagine, very gratifying.
Of all the films I've worked on, that is among my favorites. It's an incredibly beautiful film. (Levinson) really captures what it means to be in a family and the ups and downs of that. He maps out beautifully how families moved from Eastern Europe to the United States and how they got broken up by the modern age.
I talk to Dom all the time, but he still won't tell me any of the good plot twists for next season's 'Lost.'
In the absense of love, there is nothing worth fighting for.
I do think there was an active choice to do something small, as simple as it may sound, just so I didn't have to work on something for 16 months. The idea of two months, nice and contained, just about character, and no time in makeup was a thrill to me.
I'm gonna keep it in the fridge. You know. Its a food item.
But everybody there knew 'Lord of the Rings,' ... It's really amazing.
