thinking guy important
James L.Brooks is just a very original person. So that was definitely the luckiest, most important thing that happened to me [meeting him]. Then I guess also meeting Ben Stiller. He cast me in the only thing I think I ever auditioned for and got: Cable Guy [1996]. And that led to us becoming friends.
thinking giving important
I think for Wes [Anderson] and me, the most important thing was James L. Brooks producing our first movie and giving us a chance to come to Hollywood, because without him, we might never have gotten the chance.
connected fan favorite maybe means people personal tend though
The people that come up to me about 'Bottle Rocket' tend to be my favorite maybe because that was our first movie and that was maybe the most personal one to us, ... And so that means more than like an 'Anaconda' fan even though you're appreciative of that. But I'm more connected emotionally to 'Bottle Rocket' than 'Anaconda.'
acting scary seem
Acting just doesn't seem that scary to me. It's just a feel you get and you do it.
giving might way
The way Woody Allen directs, there isn't a lot of direction. He kind of might give a few gentle suggestions, but he really says right from the first day, "Just make it sound natural, and if you don't like something, put it in your own words." And [Woody Allen] gives you a lot of freedom and just very polite.
home museums dallas
I love Francis Bacon. I just saw a great Jackson Pollock exhibit at the Dallas Museum when I was home for Thanksgiving.
rome never-change
I guess that's the thing about Rome: It never changes.
memories school fields
The first thing I remember is Alexander Calder - our school took us on a field trip to go see the Calder mobiles, and that always stuck in my memory.
kids thinking trying
Maybe because I began as a writer, I have a good ear for dialogue, and maybe being an English major - and that I also read a lot as a kid - if I hear somebody say something that I think's funny, or I find a situation or story, I'll try to work that into the movie.
character interesting trying
Because it's me playing the character, trying to find a way to make it believable and entertaining and interesting.
pajamas valentino
I became sort of an aficionado on the Valentino pajamas, because I like those so much.
comfort attention principles
Hansel is certainly about comfort, while still sort of having a peacock principle of wanting to attract attention.
real interesting trying
It's not enough just to be real; you have to try to make it interesting or entertaining.
mom mother artist
My mother photographed Donald Judd in Marfa, Texas, right before he passed away. He was actually the first artist whose work I collected. I just loved the photographs that my mom had done of Donald Judd and the installations in Marfa.
