acceptable artist artistic creative heritage insanity living process reconcile sane socially tradition trying
I think it's part of that heritage or that tradition of the creative artist trying to reconcile the insanity and ruthlessness of the artistic process with living a sane and socially acceptable existence.
blessed community cure good health help juvenile research support
Those of us who are blessed with good health must do all we can to help support the research community in their search for a cure for juvenile diabetes,
piano rooms drag
I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room, which he was famous for doing, as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.
dog simple animal
We're all animals, but we're a different sort of animal. Maybe they're better than us. They're more loyal. They're more pure. They're more simple. They're not neurotic. Well, there are some neurotic dogs.
dog thinking levels
But, I do think, on a very simplistic level, that we can project onto dogs because they are so innocent. They don't come with a lot of baggage.
mean sweating
Just because you're not sweating doesn't mean you're not putting in the work.
educational class indictment
I never went to class. That the university graduated me at all is an indictment of our educational system.
fun character people
Some of my favorite characters that I've played have been very pompous because I love making fun of pompous people.
real believe character
When you have satire, it has to be real. No matter how outrageous the comedy becomes, you have to believe in the characters.
independent sacrifice trying
Well, the whole trick to doing an independent film, is to keep great pace and momentum. You're shooting maybe three times as many scenes in one day that you would on a big, luxurious budget on a luxurious schedule, and you try not to sacrifice quality for that.

actors fans talent
You know, actors are fans, too. And talent is very attractive to me.
kids people surprise
It never ceases to surprise me, the people I get to work with. I'm in a French film with Sandrine Bonnaire? I adore Sandrine Bonnaire. I'm doing a picture for Robert Redford? The Sundance Kid? I have to pinch myself sometimes.
kids gay men
Nobody sees the same movie. I'm sure there are people who saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and thought "Finally a gay movie about men who really care about each other. Thank God!" That's not what I saw necessarily but I don't think any two people see the same movie.
kissing men
Don't kiss a man who hasn't shaved.
