running party office
Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties.
up-in-the-air people appreciate
Never get behind old people. Their bodies are littered with hidden metal and they never seem to appreciate how little time they have left
fun development way
The truth is my development I hope is the same way as everything, which is, I succeed some, I fail some, and I keep slugging away at it. I really enjoy it. It's fun.
faces
Let's face it: Bush is just dim.
cities venice looks
Venice is the prettiest city I've ever seen. It looks like a Disneyland ride.
family children believe
I love children and I get along with them great. It's just that I believe if you're going to be a parent, there has to be something inside you that says, 'I want a family.' I don't feel that sense of urgency.
couple writing years
The timing for directing is usually because it takes that long to develop a piece and then do pre-production and then post-production. It takes at least a couple of years. I prefer directing to doing other things. Directing and writing seem to be infinitely more creative
gossip busy cruise
I didn't have time. I was too busy breaking up Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage. (on rumours he was responsible for Julia Roberts and Benjamin Bratt's break-up)
people knows
People know everything about everybody now.
government shutting-down government-work
Shutting down the government is not how you make government work.
mistake turkeys careers
I've certainly done some turkeys along the way and made some dumb choices in my career, mostly early on. I'm one of the lucky ones who got to make a lot of mistakes very early when no one was paying attention.
taken reality years
I doubt anybody gets taken seriously for very long. I'll be on some reality show in about six years going, Hey, I had a great year in 2006.
jobs couple responsibility
See, the first thing about actors is, you're just trying to get a job; and you audition and audition and you finally get them. And you still consider yourself an auditioning actor. I auditioned for One Fine Day, I wasn't offered that. So you're still in that 'Hey, I'm just trying to get a job' thing. Then, you get to the point where, if you decide to do it, then they'll make the film. That's a different kind of responsibility, and it usually takes a couple of films to catch up. And then you have to actually pay attention to the kind of films that you're making.
film ninety mediocre
Ninety percent of films are pretty mediocre, but they have a built-in audience and open on 3,000 screens.
