audience early emotions funny great hughes john learned lesson trains
I learned a great lesson early on, even before I was really an actor, from that movie 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' that John Hughes made: that you could make a movie that's really, really, really, really funny, and sometimes you can still achieve... making the audience feel very deep emotions as well.

One of the great joys of being able to write something you can make, if you get certain actors you want and love, you're kind of buying yourself a front row seat to watch them work.

My whole journey and career has been really interesting, but the one element it never really had was any sense of great momentum.

I'm a great believer in not sitting around waiting for the right part to come around, but jumping in and building it for yourself.
great
I think it's great to be able to go and watch a short film before you watch a feature.
glamorous life next sets
I think the life of an actor is glamorous to other people, but then the reality sets in: you don't know where you will be next year or how long you'll be there for.
reckon time
I reckon I would be able compare anything to anything else if you gave me enough time.
disgusting
Actors are excused from a lot of things, and we get away with a lot... I find it equally interesting and exciting as it is disgusting and bizarre.

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.
darth fact hard luke vader wrap
Even to this day, when I think about the fact that I'm in this 'Star Wars' world, that I'm a half-brother to Darth Vader and an uncle to Luke Skywalker, it's too hard to wrap my head around.
boxer favorite gotta love people three wait
People love boxing, but you've gotta wait two or three years for your favorite boxer to have a fight.
ebb feelings home love nice spend start thinking time whether
I love so much what I do that I spend so much time thinking about it, and then I go home, and then I'm thinking about it, so it's nice sometimes when a movie is over, and then the niggling feelings about whether you've did it right or not start to ebb away.
