struggle actors fuel
You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.
actors broke paid
In between, I go broke because I seem to do movies where you're not paid a lot as an actor.
people acting actors
I love acting, truly my favorite people are actors.
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.
directing-movies directors actors
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
directors actors excitement
I don't have any particular excitement about working with any specific director or actor at this point.
direct five movies
I think it's much more important to direct movies but if it's going to take five years between each one then I'll have to make up for that.
directors few spending watching
There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies.

There are some cigarette burns in some funny places.
concerns consider human politics
I don't consider myself specifically political, you know? I think of working as an actor as being a human thing. The concerns I have that fall into politics are human concerns.
hal impression lasting movies terms
Hal Holbrook was in one of my first television movies when I was about 18 or 19. He'd made such a strong impression on me and a lasting one in terms of what being an actor was.

Family makes me feel there's a reason I'm alive... I'm feeling my life, which I didn't always do partly because I'd be drunk a lot.
life loved saying shame
There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don't feel I've ever had that.
bone careers dominated feels good hustle ought people practice selling turns
Selling a movie feels like a hustle to every bone in my body. Many actors have careers dominated by modeling. They're all over the place. It turns me off. People who are good at what they do ought to practice something bigger.
