You get three hours' sleep and then you start all over again. Relentless. Pre-production was almost harder than filming. I was all over the city every day. It was really exhausting.
I like to act with people that know what they're doing.
It's hard to see a film that's been made from a book that you really loved because it's such a different experience
I listen to National Public Radio, which, to me at least, presents the most rounded view of things.
I have a tight family group that's really important to me. I don't want to work all the time.
You have to be willing to expose yourself, at least to yourself, to get to some kind of truth about a character.
I feel like my place in this industry is still progressing.
For The Truman Show, I worked for a few weeks, do my gig, then I was done.
I am not one of these guys who works job after job after job.
A lot of films come out before they're finished.
I was concerned about filling my life up with something important to me. To me, it was just necessary
You can mostly forget ethnic or religious differences. The competition for a bigger share of the oil proceeds is behind much of the fighting
Seeing what happens when you rip yourself open is what your job is all about
I've always wanted to work with Paul Newman. I had a couple opportunities in the past, and I didn't take advantage of it, so it was really fun to be working with him
