Your inner life has to be rich enough that it's going to translate onto celluloid without you having to do anything. That's my favorite kind of acting, and that's also the hardest to do. And it's also the most underappreciated.
Our agency is community based, so we have tried to adapt to fit the needs of the community. We are not the same as we were 40 years ago.
Generally I just look and see if it would be a movie that I would pay $7.00 to see... What is it, $9.00 now?... $9.00 to see.
Guys who get nominated are guys that talk with a lisp or walk with one leg, or have been hit in the head one too many times, and don't have any parents. And that's great. That's very flashy. And you'll win an Oscar.
There's a fine line for me between character acting and leading man acting - the best is a combination of the two.
I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
I can't stand to see myself act. It just makes me cringe.
Television is kind of restrictive in its directing, but it would be nice to get some chops doing TV.
If I stay alert, then I can challenge myself, and by challenging myself, that helps me to stay alive and to hopefully take something away from the experience.
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.
My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.
It's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.
I still collect comics. I still have a great love and respect for the genre.
I think what makes us human - is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human.
