hero careers acting
I expected that most of my career would be in dramatic acting. My hero was James Dean.
night careers flying
My career has been in a weird kind of like low-flying under the radar-kind of place. I never made it on "Saturday Night Live" where all my friends did.
guilt care want
I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.
careers appreciate long
It was such a leap in my career when 'Truman Show' came along. It's always been a long process for me insofar as recognition goes, but that's OK because you appreciate it when it comes.

Uh uh uh, turning the car into oncoming traffic...is counterproductive!
firsts cards students
My report card always said, 'Jim finishes first and then disrupts the other students'.
careers laughing want
I absolutely want to have a career where you make'em laugh and make'em cry. It's all theater.

bit company creeps fan feeling good great huge loved opportunity outlet people relevant remake shot
I'm not a huge remake fan but I loved the first movie, and I thought it was more relevant now than it was back then, because of all the Enron-type swindles. I thought it would be a great opportunity to take a shot at all the white-collar creeps and give people a bit of relief, because everyone's feeling they're part of a company these days. It's a good outlet for that frustration.
since
Ever since I started to get recognition I've picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.
character films maybe places repeating stay three totally waste
There's new territory, there's new places to go, new things to explore. Why stay back there? ... Maybe it will take three films to find another character that is really totally original, but I've got a lifetime, so why waste it just repeating myself.
golden row second tom year
Second year in a row -- what's going on here, man? ... I'm the establishment I once rejected. ... I'm the Tom Hanks of the Golden Globes.
five patience wait
If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer!
came cleaned everybody happens hit lived management people
New management came in and they cleaned everybody out so we hit the skids. We lived in a van, so I kind of know what happens to people when this happens.
