guy
I'm not really a guy who wants to be a director, anyway.
sorry nice aunt
There was a time when I could walk down the street, Hollywood Boulevard or Beverly Drive, and somebody would come up to you and they would say, "Excuse me," and you'd barely hear them, and you'd turn around and you'd say, "Yeah, how you doing?" and they'd say, "I'm really sorry to bother you, but my aunt is a big fan of yours, and would you mind terribly if you'd just sign this paper," or whatever it is, and you're happy to do that, and the people are pretty nice about it.
character thinking
Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.
marketing devil
Marketing is the devil.
We don't shoot in L.A. much anymore. You know, TV and movies, most everything's shot other places.
mean people green
I don't like movies that are shot on green screen much, you know. I mean, I know that's the thing to do, and I know that it's getting. I'll put it this way; David Lean would probably kill himself, you know, again if he knew that people were watching Lawrence of Arabia on a telephone.
running rain believe
I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.
kissing kiss-my-ass ass
I figured I would have to tell someone to kiss my ass before it was all over, and I have -- twice.
fighting people guy
People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.
ignorance thinking want
I attribute all my success to ignorance. If you don't ever think about not getting where you want to be, I think it helps you out.
winning nominations would-be
Getting the nomination is like gravy. Winning would be like whatever is better than gravy.
dream believe vision
Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.
The great movies that I want to do now are being made for $2.5-million budgets.
