I'm not counting any chickens.
In life and in movies, it's a similar challenge, where you have expectations, and you end up in situations that are not meeting your expectations.
Eating ice cream and not exercising is great. The downside is your health isn't so good.
Directing takes a lot of time.
Normally, we push away the things we're scared of.
Sticking with a marriage. That's true grit, man.
I did [Michael Cimino] first movie, "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot," and I remember I was still in my twenties and very nervous, we're shooting up in Montana, and I'm thinking, "What the hell am I doing here? I don't feel anything like this part.
I'm constantly falling deeper in love with my wife.
So I have this word for much of what I do in life: 'plorking.' I'm not playing and I'm not working, I'm plorking.
My main teachers were my father and my mother and my brother.
I'm in New Mexico making a movie called "Granite Mountain." I'm playing the head of the organization called Statesman, which is the United States version of Kingsman. I'm like how Michael Caine was in the original.
I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.
I'm used to watching old movies of myself.
I'm not real good at romance.
