successful thinking roles
I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.
life-and-death madness handguns
That was madness. You're never going to bring one of those down with a handgun.
actors shampoo modeling
I'll tell you what I probably would prefer to happen less and less: actors that I know and respect in shampoo ads. Or modeling.
actors broke paid
In between, I go broke because I seem to do movies where you're not paid a lot as an actor.
children father hands
Child-rearing is my main interest now. I'm a hands-on father.
blessed people president
I lost a friend I was blessed to have. My thoughts are with the family of President Chavez and the people of Venezuela.
good-movie matter fans
I'm a huge Woody Allen fan. Good movie, bad movie, it doesn't matter - I just like his movies.
president venezuela revolution
Venezuela and its revolution will endure under the proven leadership of Vice President Maduro,
strong believe opposites
When you get divorced, all the truths that come out, you sit there and go, 'What the f**k was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense. It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me.
mistake tolerance nikon
When I buy a Nikon camera, I have no tolerance for the instructions. I'm ready to make some mistakes using it and get some bad pictures back until I've figured it out for myself.
fulfilling
Fulfilling what you start is why you start something.
house anarchy kind
I had a house burn down once, and everything in life burned except my family, and it was so liberating. I didn't have a bad moment about it. It sort of reinvigorated my interest in a lot of things. I wonder if there should be some kind of anarchy.
impact trying narrative
A clearer and more conventional narrative would have helped the film without, in my opinion, lessening its beauty and its impact. Frankly, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing there and what I was supposed to add in that context! What's more, Terry himself never managed to explain it to me clearly.
wheels inventing
There is no re-inventing the wheel.
