I'm pretty critical of myself as far as reaching some sort of perfect bull's-eye or target that I'm aiming for.
I hadn't talked to him in many, many years. He got a bad rap on "Heaven's Gate." I actually live in the hog ranch from "Heaven's Gate" in Montana. Mike [Cimino] gave me that set, the whorehouse, that's my house.
Life's picking up speed.
I'm also working closely with a group called the Amazon Conservation Team, helping with the rainforest in South America.
I've worked with a lot of first-time directors who kind of look to me for ideas and opinions and stuff, and I'm a team player.
Sometimes you feel you're making something really special and when it comes out you might still feel that way but for some reason it doesn't get the audience. So many things have to come together to get a creatively successful and financially successful film.
It can kind of screw up things if you're trying to overwork something.
I'm drawn to the path of least resistance.
It's a wonderful metaphor, catching a wave, for how you can look at other challenges in your life.
It's funny. You succeed, but now where are you gonna go from there? I've got to keep proving that I can laugh or cry more real each time.
Life is having its way with me now. And I'm really pleased.
I've done several commercials and I've done voiceovers for documentaries.
I had years of partying, and I was kind of surprised and happy I survived it all. Now, being a parent, I look back on it thinking, Oh God, the things you did!
You know, ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance.
