waiting actors roles
That's what I tell young actors. "You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role."
real old-friends actors
I actually don't hang out with any celebrities. My closest friends are old friends. And my real close friends, none of them are actors.
color actors want
As an actor, you're a color of paint on someone else's palette. But as a director, it's your canvas and you make the painting you want to make.
directors actors not-interested
I'm not interested in being a celebrity; I'm interested in being a better actor and a better director.
children actors wonderful
Dakota Fanning is a child, but she is a wonderful actor. I don't know what a child actor is. She's an actor who's a child.
paris actors
What's a celebrity anyway? Paris Hilton's a celebrity. I'm just a working actor.
black dollars actors
You don't pick black actors or black directors because they are black. You pick them because they are good. If you lend somebody 50 million dollars you want you're money back. You don't care if they are oppressed. You just want you're money back.
We just go. It's a shorthand. It's familiar.
sports
We do what we have to do so we can do what we want to do.
In any profession it gets to be a grind.

I'm not in the loop; I don't know any actors, really, just the ones I work with.
acting family
Family is life; acting is making a living.
honor
It's not only a pleasure, but an honor for me to be here tonight.

I've heard (the rumors). Having babies, I've left home and all this... I'm a big boy. I can take it. But what bothers me about all of that stuff is the effect on the family.
