Fear runs our lives a lot of the time. You can face it head-on, or you can hide in your bunker.
I talk to myself, especially in the car.
Women think that men don't talk about their feelings with guys. We do talk to friends about relationships, but it's succinct - 10 minutes, then we move on.
My grandmother was an actress too. In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal.
Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it's one thing. I don't have a lot of time to think about dating.
For me growing up, Christmas time was always the most fantastic, exciting time of year, and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also, maybe, they were in collusion with Santa Claus.
Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves, the misfits.
I don't need to worry about that, that's always there on a slow simmer. The muscle I have to work on is being more present.
I don't actually drive trains. I'm an actor.
Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up.
When I was 18 I was an emotional wreck and I couldn't imagine having to deal with some kind of fame.
My fans have designated themselves the, uh, 'Pine Nuts.' They're a nutty bunch.
With film, oftentimes you work in a vacuum and then you get on a high wire and then you try it and then the day's over and that piece of film exists somewhere in a vault for 1000,000 years and that's it.
I grew up in a house where my father went on auditions, and he got some and he lost some, and there were good years and lean years. I didn't expect anything from the business, and that's often a danger in Hollywood, the notion that if you're pretty and have white teeth and just show up for the game then you'll win.
