jesus doors lunch
We walked out of this library building downtown, just on our way to lunch, and I was walking a few steps behind Travolta, and when he opened the door, it was as if Jesus had just walked out into the commons.
tables next six
I sat next to Robert Duvall at the lawyers' table for six weeks, and it's still probably the best six weeks of my life.
upset shooting crystals
I couldn't stop to be upset or depressed about anything when I was at Tiger Stadium with Billy Crystal shooting for three weeks. I was going to enjoy every second - even though apparently I didn't.
intimidation percent
Intimidation is 99 percent in the intimidatee's head.
smart guy serious
Hugh Laurie was intimidating, but he's the greatest guy. He's so wonderful and smart and funny and serious, and he sets the bar high. So if I was scared, it's because I wasn't measuring up.

years shows five-years
When you're on a show for five years, everyone becomes friends. It's great.
swear-to-god guy world
Bradley Cooper was an asshole, but he was - like Sidney Lumet, like George Clooney - the nicest guy in the world. I sound like the biggest ass-kisser ever. But I'm telling the truth, I swear to God!
superhero hollywood shocked
I'm frankly shocked that Hollywood hasn't called me to do a superhero.
pairs enjoy obvious
I always enjoy being the obvious homunculus of the pair.
war college thinking
Path To War was the last thing that John Frankenheimer directed, I think, before he died. I'm a huge U.S. history buff, and I studied the Vietnam era in college, so when I read the script, I was, like, "I really want to be in this thing so badly..."
