I used to read comics when I was a kid.
I like to know where the camera is.
I have a cycle that is not particularly cool, but it's a cycle: trash myself to reward myself.
Well, Thanksgiving we'll all gather at my house for dinner and we usually do Christmas at Beau's house. My mom is still feisty and kicking. She's 92. I saw her last night and she published a book at 90. It's a wonderful book called "You Caught Me Kissing" and it's basically love-poems that she wrote for my dad. It's more than that, it's a wonderful book.
I love westerns, I'd love to make more of them.
You can relate to somebody's pain and you have compassion, which can lead to intimacy.
Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.
You don't really have to do the things that your character is doing. But us actors, we use something called sense memory. I've certainly been drunk before, and part of my job is to recall that without getting drunk.
The more space and emptiness you can create in yourself, then you can let the rest of the world come in and fill you up.
Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.
Execution is everything.
The more nervous you get, the more worried you get about something... Maybe you just need to take a nap.
People fall in love for mysterious reasons.
As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.
