measurement experts opinion
One measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions.
cameras
When the camera starts to roll, there is something of death about it.
treasure time-left wanted
We don't have that much time left to do it. I'm 80. I wanted to be Walter Huston to his John Huston. I wanted him to direct me, not in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, but something. We'll see. We can't predict anything.
president-snow mockingjay
It's the things we love most that destroy us.
directors enough forsaken
I was so disappointed [with movie Forsaken], but maybe I hadn't talked enough with the director. I don't know. But, Kiefer worked it out. Kiefer took it and re-edited it. I don't know whether he talks about that. He's probably more discreet than I am because Jon is a friend of his. Now, it fulfills what I was hoping for, and what we were working on and doing.
play guy able
I have been able to play a lot of guys and they have kept me working.
running writing dna
I'm running out of time, and a Western is America's answer to a Greek tragedy, so that's what we did. [Kiefer] hired Brad [Mirman] to write the script and he had the ideas, and then he and I did stuff on the script to make it a little cleaner to ourselves. And then, we played it. We were just actors working together, and our DNA must have informed it somehow. Certainly, we came out of it purified a little bit.
thinking acting cynicism
I don't think I have one iota of cynicism about acting.
fun thinking games
I never think of this business as fun. I don't know why. I think I've actually said something about it being fun, but I don't think of it that way. It's not fun, doing it. It's joyful, it's passionate, it's rewarding, it's a pursuit of truth, but I don't think of it as fun. It's not a game.
beautiful hopeful negative
Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves ?Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here ?Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change ?
along canadian-actor joe specific
Joe Wright called me and I also had some trepidation along those lines but he said no, it would work. He had a very clear and specific idea of what he wanted to do.
canadian-actor love
But no, I love acting, it's a wonderful job.
amount bit canadian-actor certain fortune four good hard partner pursuit terrific truth whatever work worked
You have a little bit of talent, a certain amount of good fortune and a lot of hard work in pursuit of whatever truth you can find in it, and if you are really lucky, a terrific partner and I have that and those four things worked out for me.
given older perfectly
I was given this only because I am older than you are, ... And I think that's perfectly fair.
