skeptical
I'm pretty skeptical about Hollywood and its fascination with the sequel and the franchise.
life people
I think the life of an actor is very glamorous to other people - then, realities set in.
hackman
Gene Hackman was a superstar in the '70s - with that face!
hughes
I wanted to make a movie that was kind of a tribute to the way I feel when I watch a John Hughes movie.
crap love movies stuff talk
I just don't want to do crap movies, man, because I just love that I can get up and talk about them and talk to journalists about stuff that I'm really proud of.
learned life scripts writer
I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
hits kick papers sell talking wanting
I don't appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there's a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.
cell decade piercing project ring roll scare telephone thriller written
I often put any project I write in a different decade just to roll the thought around in my head. There's a thriller I've written that I think would be nice to set in the '70s or '80s, just to take cell phones away from the movie. There's nothing like the piercing ring of an old-school telephone to really scare an audience.
bad good mix
Everybody's a mix of good and bad choices that they make.
areas clear gotten grey life moral point view viewpoint white
When I was young, I had a very clear point of view on things in life, on moral questions. There was a black and white viewpoint on my world. As I've gotten older, I see the grey areas appear.
expressive people remorse
Where does guilt and punishment lie, and are we not more expressive over remorse or guilt when other people see the badness in us?
Every now and then, I have a deep thought.
turning
To me, 'Warrior' was a real turning point - probably one of the greatest experiences I've ever had as an actor on set.
The only way for you to show what you can do is to actually do.
