movies produce
When you produce and direct, your movies are different to you. They're not just something you act in.
attitude guy maybe original past surprising whether
When I read reviews, I go right past the plot. I don't want to read anything about the story, and I just get a take on whether or not I like the attitude of this guy first of all, or woman, and then to see if it has things in it that are surprising and original and then maybe I'll go see it.
amazing audrey brilliant center everybody great hepburn
'Breakfast at Tiffany's' isn't a great movie because Audrey Hepburn is brilliant and everyone else isn't. It's a great movie because everybody is fascinating, and she is at the center of it being amazing.
explore front interest reason
The reason I got into acting was not to explore myself. I was a reader, I didn't care about acting. I got into it in college, but I had no interest really in that, in getting up in front of anybody.
artists born drawn material question stage start
I got my start on the stage and there's no question that I keep getting drawn back to material and artists born there.
career
I don't have a career plan. As I get older, different things become important to me. And frankly, I'm a dad, so it's like how long is it? Where is it?
allow audiences bad both directors movies people
Movies, I don't really get the bad guys. In theater, I get more bad guys. Both audiences and directors are more willing... to allow people to stretch. In movies, you do one thing, and then that's their reference.
time worked
I worked with Lukas Haas a long time ago, when he was younger, and he was wonderful.
feature learned process since sure work
Since I was from the theater, that's how I learned how to go through the process of being a character. That's how I learned, and that's what I was comfortable doing. And then, the first feature films, I'm sure I was no fun because I did not want to be spontaneous in that filmic way that really can work for you.
believe gonna
The fact is that you're never gonna believe any of the reviews, because the movie is to you what it is to you. No one's ever gonna sway you from what you feel about it.
bigger smaller
I still try out for the bigger films, because they don't know me usually. But to the smaller films, no, they usually know me.
drive school wisconsin
I went to school in Wisconsin and I used to drive to see Steppenwolf in a basement.
entire people quite
I hate to tell you this, but there's an entire subset of people out there who think of me as quite a dull actor. And that's the word used, and often - dull.
care good late movies parents start watching
When you're young, you don't care about your parents and what they're doing. But then you get to your 20s, and you start watching their movies. And then you become an actor, as I did late in college, and then you're really watching them. And they were really very good.
