people
I always do drama. It's just that some people laugh at it and some people cry.
people
Some actors don't want to, but I prefer to. I like to collaborate. Sometimes you have to keep it to yourself, and people want to do their own thing.
brando god journeyman people talent touched work
I think of myself as a journeyman actor. I've got some talent and I work hard, but people like Brando or Pacino - those people are touched by God.
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.
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.
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.
thinking people realizing
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.
Well, you know, it's fun to sign autographs still for me. I don't sign that many.
I've done a lot of sorts of films that are under the radar.
best movies
I've been in more than 20 movies. You just do the best you can and try to make a living.
became glenn great later
I think a lot of theater actors that were great, like Walken or Glenn Close, later became film actors.
age mom saw theater
I saw things at an early age because my mom was a theater actress. I did a play with her when I was 10 years old.
ageing reverse spent
After 40, you want to reverse the ageing process. That's complicated for me because I spent so many years wanting to be older.
age clark knew might
Clark Gregg and I are around the same age. He has been an actor and is a writer. But with a first-time director, there is a way to talk about things they might not know. Because Clark was an actor, though, he knew more about the process than most first-time directors.
