real men thinking
As a young man... you don't know anything about yourself. And add on to that, you're on the cover of magazines. People are interviewing you about what you think. You feel like a real phony.
character thinking people
One of the things that separates a good genre movie from a bad genre movie, I always think, ironically, is when you care about the people. The dime a dozen ones are where you don't have any awareness of the character.
delicious
I'm magically delicious.
thinking trying facts
In fact, I think my life is always going to be difficult, because I am trying to do something... "original" is a big word. It's kind of pathetic, but I have to love what I'm doing.
light sunrise have-faith
With this sunrise somehow I felt I was exactly where I was supposed to be... Have faith, the light seemed to announce.
tattoo different uniforms
If you can understand the inner life, then you can wear the uniform, the tattoos, or whatnot and realize that the things that are different about us become superficial.
years desire acting
I've always been interested in directing. I started acting when I was thirteen years old, so I've had some desire to do something else in my life.
stars couple people
It is very difficult for any couple who are married if both people are ambitious. I don't know if it's just too hard to be married to a woman that wants to be a movie star.
sunset people sunrise
When you do 'Before Sunset,' you know while it's a limited audience, there was a very small group of people that love 'Before Sunrise.' You feel a certain pressure to make sure that you uphold a level of quality that has been a bar. You set a bar and you have to at least match it.
jobs thinking risk
I think it's my job to risk looking foolish. One of the things I've learned from the actors I've worked with is you don't get something for nothing. If you don't risk looking foolish, you'll never do anything special.
littles audience interaction
One of the things that's really lousy about making movies is that you have such little interaction with your audience.
successful vanity self
When you start becoming really successful, the demons start to tempt you - the demons of vanity and self importance, drug abuse, the feelings of fraudulence. But, it's also a thrill. That's what I found weird.
auditions
I have had so many bad auditions.
thinking people helping
I think having nature be a part of people's lives helps all of us see ourselves as part of something larger.
