It's set in three time zones: 16th-century Spain, present-day America and the distant future, deep space, ... lovers in each time zone. It's kind of a sci-fi love story. The Fountain refers to the search for the fountain of youth.
When you fall in love and you get married, it’s such a relief. You’re like, ‘Oh, this feels so right and this woman is just so great and I love her.’ And then you have a kid — it kind of just gets even bigger. And it’s frustrating and it’s tiring and all those things but your sense of, like, living life becomes so much bigger.
It's good to be young and full of dreams. Dreams of one day doing something 'insanely great.' Dreams of love, beauty, achievement, and contribution. But understand they have a life of their own, and they're not very good at following instructions. Love them, revere them, nurture them, respect them, but don't ever become a slave to them. Otherwise you'll kill them off prematurely, before they get the chance to come true.
One thing that I love about World Vision is every place they go, they go in with an exit plan, they don't want people dependent on them.
If you never fall in love with your character, you'll never be able to do that character justice. No matter who it is, no matter what the character does, you have to find the reason for it. Everyone's got a reason for what they do, even if it's a reason that they're not proud of.
Your marriage goes to a whole new level. You not only fall in love with your wife in a new way, but you're forced to pull together. You have to become a united front.
I have a terrific marriage, but unlike a lot of relationships where they ebb and flow, no matter what happens you fall deeper and deeper in love every day. It's kind of the best thing that can happen to you. It's thrilling.
Probably look at it for an hour then paint it or throw it in the pool.
I think I was 5 and singing 'Camelot' on stage. It was always a good way to meet girls. I did musicals, plays. My school encouraged it. We'd do our own productions. It wasn't until I was about 23 that I thought, 'I could give this a shot. I might as well do it.'
It is fair to say I am obsessed with that series. I am like a junkie looking for series two.
Peter's whole essence was very joyous. He was fearless, outrageous, and childlike, and he definitely lived life to the full.

My agent said to me five years ago, 'Hugh, I can see one day you...if I had to plan a goal for you, it's for you to have the kind of career that Sinatra had.'
basically, I'll make an ass of myself anywhere.
