new-york simple thinking
I only made two studio movies, that was a long time ago and obviously I removed myself. I think some of that is geographical. I live in New York and I want to work there, it's as simple as that.
running jobs thinking
As you get older, I think everyone feels that, no matter what the job: to try a hand at running the business as opposed to simply being an employee.
thinking sick too-much
I tend to turn down roles that are too much like me, what I think is most like me anyhow, because I'm me all the time and I'm sick of it.
thinking doors people
I think people tend to live, whether they like it or not, influenced by what's next door to them.
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.
couple directed
I've directed myself in a couple of things but you don't want to do it too often.
exist films home interested keeps paid television
Practically, I am interested in television because it keeps me home and it's fast, and I exist in independent films mostly, and you don't get paid for those, or you don't get paid enough.
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.
There's no doubt in the world that directing makes you a better actor. Me, anyway. There's no doubt in the world that it makes me a more collaborative actor.
call
You can do anything you want as long as you don't call it what it is,
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.
time worked
I worked with Lukas Haas a long time ago, when he was younger, and he was wonderful.
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?
