morning children acting
Acting, it's not my life, my children and my family, that's life. I'll get up every morning, God willing, for that.
children father men
The strongest, toughest men all have compassion. They're not heartless and cold. You have to be man enough to have compassion - to care about people and about your children" (217) - John Singleton "Oh Man, I've Become My Father
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.
children
I've worked with children all my life.
children honesty men
There's always got to be room for what you might call benign corruption. Nobody blames a man who steals food to feed his starving children, but on the other hand, somebody who picks up a badge and takes an oath to serve and protect; we do expect a certain level of essential honesty.
jobs children kids
Just stick with your kids. There's no set of rules on how to be a parent. No handbook. Just hang around your kids and ask them a lot of questions. You have to stay involved in your children's lives and monitor everything they're doing whether they like it or not. You're not in the job of making them like it. You're there to protect them in a world that can be troubling.
work
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.
We just go. It's a shorthand. It's familiar.
In any profession it gets to be a grind.
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."
jobs stars giving
I'm not a big Hollywood star. I'm an actor. I'm called a star. That's not what I am. First of all I'm a human being; my profession is acting. People give you titles. They say you're an up and coming star, then they say you're a star, then they say you're a washed-up star. So I don't get caught up in what I'm called. My job, my profession, is acting.
christian men spirituality
Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: "My god is right, yours is wrong." Religion to me is the human condition. "If you're a Muslim, you can't be a Christian." That to me is religion.
creative privilege mediums
I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.
