finally fit looked reached roles until
I'm happy that I'm finally getting some lines in my face. I always looked too young for the kind of roles I wanted. It was constraining. My face didn't fit my innards until I reached 40.
hamlet stanley
I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know.
break happier people realized rituals sort suddenly took worked
I took a break after 'Confessions.' I was real picky. And then I suddenly realized I hadn't worked in a year. And I was sort of, like, not really happy. I think people are happier when they have structure, you know? You realize that as you get older. You have to have rituals and structure.
parent cuckoos pieces
I had those kind of parents where I watched all of these very sophisticated movies: 'Five Easy Pieces', 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'
mother daughter coal-miners
I remember being very influenced by 'Taxi Driver', and also Tommy Lee Jones in 'Coal Miner's Daughter' a little bit.
america people prison
I was certainly naïve about the judicial system in America. There's a lot of people who are in prison who are innocent. The system is very flawed.
had-a-great-time great-times
I had a great time with John Duigan he's pretty amazing.
people acting technique
Good acting is good acting, however you learn it. Some people who haven't studied are amazing. Some people like Leonardo DiCaprio are naturally gifted - he's learned technique by working with people early on.
art character training
I did some martial arts training for 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' since the character was an assassin.
dumb zombie zombie-movie
I'm not going to just do a dumb zombie movie, although I love zombie movies.
editors magic painter
An editor is like a painter. There is a magic in that.
memories saws proud
I have memories of films that nobody ever saw, that I was very proud of, and those are still great memories.
acting fuel want
I have a constant sort of melancholy approach to acting that fuels me. I want to do everything.
running believe mean
I sometimes can't do movies just for the money. I really can't. I mean, I've tried. Believe me, I'd love to just take the money and run.
