When you're writing personal stories, you have to be totally uncompromising - to the extent that you can be - about yourself. I know that if I am uber-uncompromising with myself, that gives me some latitude to write about others.
I don't think any one of us would have thought that this movie would do what it did for all of us.
There is a movie called 'My Dog Skip,' starring my 'Outsiders' costar Diane Lane. I do not recommend it. If you have a child, particularly one about to leave home, watching this film is to be emotionally waterboarded.
I'm a Hollywood pinhead; I don't know about political labels.
I loved fun. I spent my whole life in search of fun. I have not given up that part of myself.
I love anything by Joan Didion. Incidentally, she was one of the local moms when I was growing up in Point Dume. She always reminded me a little bit of my mother, so I feel a great affinity. I love the precision of Didion's writing. There's a construction and a craftsmanship to her sentences that's imbued with so much emotion.
I love acting so much that I don't want to give that up.
I didn't go to Ivy League schools. I dropped out of college to go into movies.
I'd like to build a TV company for myself.
I don't flip. I don't even dive into a pool - straight cannonball for me. No, thanks.
I'd love to serve my country. I would love it.
Here's my theory: If a person gets worldwide fame at a young age, they're emotionally frozen at that moment. For me, that's 15 to 18, so you find yourself in your mid-20s being a glorified 15-year-old. What could possibly go wrong?
Guys are really lucky. We become our authentic selves the older we get.
He's got instincts, great instincts, and he loves talent.
