stars people figures
Some people burn out, and some people like Clint Eastwood, he was a wild, international movie star in his 30s, and he's doing the best work of his life now. Go figure.
father men trying
The biggest problem in my life is trying to be the kind of man that I want to be, the father that I want to be, and how to process the failure of my marriage.
pay kind
To get to be somebody who gets to love what they do for a living, that's so rare, and so there must be some kind of price you have to pay.
messages entertainment horror
The thing that makes a great genre movie is one that's not just entertainment, not just horror or sci-fi or whatever. The ones I love are the genre pictures with some subversive message underlying it all.

If you don't risk doing something foolish, you'll never do anything special.
loss long humanity
At every turn, when humanity is asked the question, 'Do you want temporary economic gain or long-term environmental loss, which one do you prefer,' we invariably choose the money.
reality long has-beens
My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it any more. It's just my reality.
jobs unique littles
It's a really unique job that is a little schizophrenic and you have to kind of do it with a sense of humor.The trick is figuring out what each job is asking of you and what it's not asking of you.
dream personal-life
It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.
twenties paint stills
In your mid-twenties, the paint is still wet on who you are.
unique thinking bars
Alejandro Amenábar has a unique way of approaching movies and thinking about something which was new to me. It was different. I have a lot of respect for him so I just took a gamble.
smarter
I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I'm not.
auditions
I have had so many bad auditions.
successful vanity self
When you start becoming really successful, the demons start to tempt you - the demons of vanity and self importance, drug abuse, the feelings of fraudulence. But, it's also a thrill. That's what I found weird.
