When my dad was alive, he would give them to the kids. People didn't have a lot of money, so they did this for gifts.
I don't think that this family is odd. People may have greater or lesser elements of drama in their Thanksgiving Day. But I recognize these people.
Real quality in roles is very hard to come by. Any actor or actress will tell you that. Great movies are hard to come by. It's almost impossible to make one, and most people have to settle for making something less.
In storytelling you kind of put your nightmares up there, you put your dreams up there and people can see them better because they can stand outside of it and look at it and recognize themselves inside it. So I feel that that in and of itself is a spiritual thing.
It's the same with people knowing absolutely everything there is to know about an actor. I actually think the more personal information you have about an actor, the more you have to carve out for yourself when you go to a movie and see them in it
In some ways, it would be nice to stay younger, but I feel pretty happy about growing older... Personally, I don't have a lot of the regular hand-ups with getting older that some people do. I've never tried to disguise my age. People find out anyway.
I get cold really quickly, but I don't care. I like weather. I never understand why people move someplace so that they can avoid weather.
When you spend many hours a week working with the same people - I mean television operates on really amazing hours and the gift of that is the trust that you feel and the intimacy that you feel with the people who you're working with.
I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and patient
Little kids would come over, and dad would give them one. He used to give them to just his own kids -- he couldn't afford to give them to all kids.
To me, being creative is a very fragile thing, and somehow I've always felt the need to be very protective of that.
It's hard for me to get good work. You don't see me more because it's hard for me to find stuff that I want to do. I would love to work more-I really would-but there is not a lot of stuff around and the stuff that is around is not very complicated; it tends to lie a little flat.
They used to just give them to their own kids. Dad was a big joker when we were young. I found money in my nuts.
This character, I required no research, I really just brought myself, without my southern accent to the table.
