complete food hard love
I love food. I'm a complete foodie. I love to cook. I find it very hard to say no to food. I get grumpy if I don't get food.
certain charms famous fraudulent impress liked love man notorious quarters recalled review severe simply utterly variant whose
I never feel so utterly fraudulent as when I review a movie whose charms impress all in the world and I simply do not get it. The other variant is that I love something the world disdains. This has had severe career consequences: I am still famous - or notorious - in certain quarters where I am recalled as the man who liked 'Hudson Hawk.'
love roles work
For me, as an actor, just to keep acting and to keep being able to work and to do different roles and challenging roles, that's something I'd love to do.
believe glories good grudge iq japan love tested
Even my pathological love of Japan and its beauties, glories and eccentricities is sorely tested by 'The Grudge 2,' from Takashi Shimizu, a movie so bewildering and impenetrable that I believe it siphoned off a good 40 IQ points.
ashore consistent corpse funny highly hilarious lessen poor prospects proved robin seem
The prospects for a coherent, hilarious and consistent American comedy seem to lessen every year, as the poor waterlogged, gassy corpse called 'Evan Almighty' proved when it floated ashore recently. So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'
dramatic formed movies suppose
I suppose I was formed by too many movies and too much television. At some point I absorbed the dramatic formula.
jfk people slight third
The true mystery of the JFK assassination isn't 'How could the bullet go through two people with only slight damage?' but 'Why did the third bullet explode?'
age definitely
'Pearl Harbor' is definitely about December 7, 1941, but it is not of December 7, 1941. It's not even really of our age, either. It has more of the feel of a film from, roughly, mid-war.
jfk poorly studied subject trained
I'm not an expert or a trained ballistician. But it is a subject I've studied intently for 50 years, so I may know a thing or two. In my opinion, the JFK investigation was poorly handled.
amazing
If you have only 95 minutes of material, make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.
jones modeled
The squiggly rubber Davy Jones face in 'Pirates' with the tentacles, barnacles and goobers - that's modeled on me.
figured job
I kind of figured if I couldn't get a job as a dwarf, looking as I do, I should just give up acting.
leaves
I have never connected with 'Gone With the Wind.' 'Lawrence of Arabia' leaves me cold.
age among child early educated grew helpful highly house mental nurture rich suburbs
I grew up in the suburbs among highly educated people, in a house crammed with books. It was a culture rich in ideas, stimulation, entertainment, and mental activity, all helpful to the nurture of an imaginative child who wanted from an early age to be a writer.
