art thinking talking
I find that it's a very odd thing to think of competition when you're talking about what I still think of as art. I don't think of competing with actors or filmmakers at all. You do compete, in a way, at the box office, but we're far enough apart when both films are coming out that I'm not concerned with that either.
charitable-work life-is results
My life isn't focused on results. My life is really focused on the process of doing all the things I'm doing, from work to relationships to friendships to charitable work.
mother
Yes, I slouch. My mother tells me that.
actors tvs looks
Stage actors look down on movie actors, movie actors look down on TV actors, and TV actors look down on... mass murderers...
hawaii sometimes enjoy
Most of the time, I'm working in places I'm not familiar with. Sometimes it's Slovakia, and sometimes it's Hawaii. Not to bash on Slovakia, but I really did enjoy Hawaii.
boat enough plugs
What you learn after you are 40 is that it is just about plugging up holes in the boat. You just hope you have enough corks to plug enough of the holes.
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)
