The only reason I did Showtime was Robert De Niro. I definitely consider him to be in the top 5 all time actors.
above box bunch crash movies rise stayed time work
There's this little box that African-American actors have to work in, in the first place, and I was able to rise above that box. I could have done a bunch of movies where I stayed as the Axel Foley or Reggie Hammond persona. But I didn't want to be doing the same thing all the time. Every now and then, you crash and burn, but that's part of it.
amount business clients focused gives guy home time tremendous
He gives a tremendous amount of time to clients and is completely focused on each of their careers. He's very hands-on, ... He's always been a straight-up guy in any business dealings. They're not poachers, and they don't home in on other people's clients.
I'm in a whole different part of show business, ... I'm not even part of 'Shakespeare in Love.'

There was a lot of stuff where we were doing scenes, and (we would) bust out laughing, ... more on this movie than ever, where you can't finish scenes. I hope we didn't (mess up) up the movie.
thinking make-you-think down-and
How can music without any words make you think? I listen to jazz when I'm doing something else. I use it for background music, I don't just sit down and concentrate on it. Lyrics, words - that's what makes me think.
men sound three
Apparently every man was told to bring three women with them. Sounds like a ho-down.
