turning
To me, 'Warrior' was a real turning point - probably one of the greatest experiences I've ever had as an actor on set.
Every now and then, I have a deep thought.
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?
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.
scolded unto
I grew up being taught, 'Do unto others as they would do unto you.' I would get scolded for not being polite.

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.

Polo is like playing golf with a saddle, and there are a lot of moving parts.

Whenever you're trying to do your own take on a classic piece of literature, it's almost like you're trying to swim up your own stream or drive down your own path.
destroy
One wrong move, and you destroy your career.
bad equation experience good says
There's never been a mathematical equation that says a good experience making a movie equates to a good movie, or a bad experience on a set is going to lead to a bad movie.
