Myths are wonderful tools that we've had, oh, for eons now that help us navigate the situations we find ourselves in.
Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.
That's one of the cool things about fame. You have an affect on society and where it goes.
I have my prized possession in my wallet. That's a photograph of the first words I ever uttered to my wife, and her answer to my question when I asked her, "Will you go out with me?"
The hoopla with all the award season is kind of mind-boggling. It kind of puts you on your heels.
The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.
This idea of how everything is interconnected, and the impermanence of things.. It sums up the human condition to me, and it helps me on my path.
I loved working with my brother [Beau] and my father [Lloyd] whenever that happened. I had a wonderful experience making "The Fabulous Baker Boys," which I felt was a great movie, too.
To go into therapy is an adventure, not really to iron anything out.
We love things that are convenient.
Movies are like magic tricks.
Every couple of years we'll watch the movie and it's like watching home movies, seeing the ranch on-screen. But that movie [Heaven's Gate], people are appreciating it more and more as time goes on.
I'm not locked into playing one guy.
I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop.
