My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.
People lose people, we lose things in our life as we're constantly growing and changing. That's what life is is change, and a lot of that is loss. It's what you gain from that loss that makes life.
I'm interested in the impact my movies have on people and how it affects them, and what they like and what they don't like - and what they take away from it. What leaves an impression, you know?
Most actors have a process that they can go through, that they rely on, or that they've discovered, and that can evolve from project to project.
Some of the supporting roles that I've done as an actor, I took them because I knew that I would get to watch some of the leading guys in the movies, and also I'd get to work with them.
Earlier on in my career I felt that I had to hide behind a lot of different masks, and showboat ways of performing. Now, that's a lie. The less I have to hide, the less I have to act.
I'm of the mind that life is a risk. Every time you leave your house it's a risk, and I see no reason to go through life with my hands tied behind my back for any reason. I'd be foolish to let something stop me from doing what I love to do.
We always need more tutors, because there are students who are waiting for a tutor to help them improve their reading, writing, math, or basic computer skills.
I'd like to say as I get older, I try to move toward more sophisticated - more complex - material, but that's just not true. As I get older and more mature - as I started to mature as an actor and an artist - I start looking for stories that are really simple... simply told, straightforward stories that don't make any pretenses about what they are, or ones that are couched in other things to give you permission to enjoy them.
