Clint Eastwood has always been a hero.
It does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. I don't know what it's like any more to be anonymous.
The business that people do in LA on the social level is amazing. You go to a restaurant, bump into this guy or that guy. The next day you get a call, and they want you in their movie.
There are very few things that are purely conceptual without any hard content.
I'd always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.
I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views.
I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.
I do better on the first three takes; I won't be better at 20 takes.
As I was coming up on the stage, there was one source that could make or break you, the New York Times. Inevitably there would be one actor singled out for a better review, or worse, than somebody else. The effect of that was cancerous, divisive.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.
I always watch rushes. They give me a sense of whether I'm going in the right direction. You work hard and hopefully get encouragement from what you see.
I'm obsessed with zombies. I like watching zombie movies and I read zombie books.
