ask forget people stop
Sometimes people ask me how old I am, and I have to stop and remember. I forget myself!
homes success tv until
But TV has changed completely. It's not until you come into people's homes that everyone says, 'You're a success now.'
bad darker dig nolan script written
The only description for Nolan in the script was that he's a very bad dresser. I put on a red windbreaker and every other ugly, ill-fitting thing I could dig out. He was potentially written as a clean-cut nerd, but I wanted a darker spin.
chorus greek pages serves
All I had, originally, were pages of Nolan's dialogue. I think his character serves the story in a nice way. He's a Greek chorus for the goings-on in the Hamptons.
I do like to turn a phrase, but it's all about how you turn it.
affect awkward bit calmed goes hard might nolan people sad strangest time
Nolan has the strangest affect on people. You know, I think there's something very sad and little boy about him, but at the same time the way he goes about everything is so awkward and obnoxious. He can never say the right thing, you know? And I think if he just didn't try so hard and calmed down, people might actually like him a bit more!
angry forget goes great gush hope movies next opposite people popcorn rather talking
I think you kind of hope for people to gush over movies, but I think the opposite way is great sometimes, too. I'd rather have a movie that you're angry about and that you're talking about the next day, than something you forget about when the popcorn goes into the trash.
shoot
When I started in the mid-'90s, the goal was really to shoot for a film career and stay there.
believe late
I'm a late bloomer. I believe 40 is the new 19.
dread exorcist fantastic francis growing max paul plays scary shooting younger
I play Father Francis in 'The Exorcist Prequel.' It's fantastic. We are shooting in Morrocco and Rome. Paul Schrader is directing; Stellan Skarsgard plays the younger Max Von Sydow character. It's just a fantastic script. It's a very eerie, very scary script. It encomposes a growing dread that I think is really appropriate for the film.
bothers deeper hates means somebody unless whenever
Whenever somebody hates you too much it usually means they have deeper feelings for you because nobody bothers to hate you unless they actually feel something.
lying stuff stealing
I'm not going to lie. I would definitely steal stuff from set.
theatre television brilliant
Like I said, when all of that goes away and you just completely lose yourself in the fantasy of it, then that's usually when I walk out of the theatre or turn off the television and just go: "That was brilliant!"
fun different awful
Anytime anybody does anything - unless it's in the realm of the obviously awful, which is fun too in a different way - it is in many ways a success.
