My mom wasn't a movie star.
My website's kind of fun for me. I get to do drawings on that. It's kind of fun.
Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.
Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike.
Normally, we push away the things we're scared of.
Execution is everything.
I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.
I'm used to watching old movies of myself.
The more space and emptiness you can create in yourself, then you can let the rest of the world come in and fill you up.
Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.
You can relate to somebody's pain and you have compassion, which can lead to intimacy.
My wife, whenever I'd go off to work and I'd be kind of anxious, she'll say, 'Remember, have fun.' Oh, I forgot, thanks for the reminder. Because sometimes we do forget. We take it all too seriously and there's a lot of joy to be had wherever you are.
Myths are wonderful tools that we've had, oh, for eons now that help us navigate the situations we find ourselves in.
Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.
