He [Michael Cimino] wasn't the typical filmmaker. I don't know if he had more in him, he certainly had a lot of scripts. I know he wrote a hell of a lot.
I went through a very hairy period. I had a movie where I was going to play Walt Whitman that fell through. At the time, I had grown this huge beard and very long hair. But then, the movie got canceled, I had some other parts, and I currently have very short hair. So, when I look in the mirror, I don't know who I am exactly. It's interesting.
One in four kids in the U.S. faces hunger.
I loved working with my brother [Beau] and my father [Lloyd] whenever that happened. I had a wonderful experience making "The Fabulous Baker Boys," which I felt was a great movie, too.
But it's tough what we're doing here -- selling a movie. I like to know to as little as possible about movies that I'm interested in seeing.
I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.
I've always tried to mix up my roles as much as I can.
And that's one of the great things about actors: their willingness to play and to do something.
I'm in New Mexico making a movie called "Granite Mountain." I'm playing the head of the organization called Statesman, which is the United States version of Kingsman. I'm like how Michael Caine was in the original.
I don't even know what Instagram is, All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding.
I thought bringing those two [Taylor Sheridan and David Mackenzie] together, odds are you're going to come up with something pretty good.
My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me.
Sometimes you'll have a movie that you're very proud of and you think it transcended all of your expectations but it doesn't come out at the right time. I have done movies that have never been released. That can be depressing.
Ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance. I love to draw and paint; I do ceramics and photography. I'm interested in a lot of creative stuff.
