I don't take trouble at all to conform a screenplay to my iconography. I don't say, "We can't do that - the audience wouldn't accept it." I try to take the limitations of what is required to play a leading character and then screw with them.
I didn't play much ball. I wasn't much of a ball fan.
A bad guy in a movie has a lot of latitude for acting. He can walk up the wall, crawl across the ceiling, go piss in the corner and everybody will say, "Fantastic!" But somebody's going to have to catch that sucker. Somebody's going to have to play the guy who gets him in the end. And that's a better part.
I don't do a huge amount of physical activity. I play tennis, I work out sporadically, and I eat well and take care of myself.
I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.
I haven't purposefully set out to play heroes. I'm interested in playing the character who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances. But he's really either just saving himself or acting in the service of something that's important to him.
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.
'Years of Living Dangerously' is a wonderful opportunity to reach a lot of people with the story and importance of climate change in our lives; in recent history, there's no bigger threat to the quality of human life than what is taking place right now in respect of climate change.
