My ambition from the very beginning was to make a good part for myself, something differently to what lately I've been doing.
That's always my ambition is to create a character out of what will help tell the story. I've never been an actor to say my character wouldn't do that, because he should do that in order to help tell the story.
You always have to know what the ambition of the scene is, what the purpose of that scene is in the telling of the story overall, so that you're there to support the story.
Acting was a way out at first. A way out of not knowing what to do, a way of focusing ambitions. And the ambition wasn't for fame. The ambition was to do an interesting job.
The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
It's important not to base your ambition on anybody else's history, but to figure out how best to use your own particular personality and understanding of yourself to help tell other people's stories.
All I would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You've got to find it on your own terms.
Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy.
What amuses me most about Skip is he often represents everyone in the deal, ... And, he does a really good job for everybody ? I've always walked away from every negotiation and thought, 'Jesus, how did he get that?'
The set for 'Blade Runner' was maybe the hardest set I've ever worked on because I think we worked 50 nights in a row, and it was always raining.
We're all interconnected. For example, a simple lack of fresh water can lead to population dislocation, which can lead to political radicalization, which can lead to great pressure on the states that receive refugees because of a migrating population.
It's very little trouble for me to accomodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.
Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.
YAHOOOOO! You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home.
