views perfect stylist
Cormac McCarthy's language is perfect. He is in my view the greatest living American prose stylist.
ideas people east
I don't get it. If you're saying, Tommy Lee, you don't fit the image of the East Coast, social elitist wealthy people who comprise Harvard, the only thing I can say is you have no idea what comprises Harvard.
trying next different
I try as hard as I can for everything to be different from one movie to the next.
feelings way relevant
I don't consider my private feelings to be relevant in any way, actually.
mars earth clue
I haven't a clue if there is life on other planets but I'd be charmed if we found a unicellular organism on Mars. It would change our whole concept of life on Earth.
politics work
If you want to know about my politics, the only way to do that is to look at my work.
spirit
You can't instruct an audience to laugh, but what you can do is read well and understand the spirit and subtleties, if there are any, in the dialogue.
fine
If you don't hurt anybody or try to steal anything, you'll be fine in the South.
humor
I don't think I would describe my sense of humor. Doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd do.
country movies
I want to make movies about my country from my point of view.
bad movies
I've made some bad movies. And I really enjoyed it!
struggling
It's no fun to be a struggling young actor. It's a desperate thing, no way to be happy. If you have any alternative, you should take it.
deem people perfectly pursue willing work
I have nothing against interviews. I don't pursue them. When people I work for deem it appropriate, I'm perfectly willing to serve.
home remote town
My home town is very small and very remote and we don't have a movie house.
