The minute you realize that your options are unlimited, things just start falling into place all around you.
Probably Lloyd in 'Say Anything' is the closest to me - or to who I was at the time. It was just a great love story about people in the '80s, and we all tried to make it feel as real as possible. It was such a wonderful time. We didn't leave anything in the gym; we put it all out there.
Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.
Getting trapped back in the '80s, it's almost like a comic nightmare, which for me is a very real nightmare. Every time I flip through the cable, I have flashbacks.
Boy, I could go in so many different ways with this answer, ... Let's start with 'Black Irish basket case.' I think we have our headline now for my ad!
We're all kind of God's fools. The process is going to make fools out of all of us, I think: fools in the best sense, in the sense of struggling and innocent and vulnerable.
Well, I think any actor can probably identify with being a professional liar. You don't always look at yourself that way, but I know a lot of days I do.
I think good actors can sort of see into people and immediately you have a chemistry with them or not. It's like an affair with no mess. You don't actually consummate it, but you get to pretend, imagine what it would be like.
Having people remember something that you did 25 years ago doesn't suck.
I don't wanna sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't wanna sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed, you know, as a career, I don't wanna do that...right now I just wanna be with your daughter, sir.
I always wanted to work with Diane, ... I've probably had a crush on her since A Little Romance (1979), when she was 13 and I was about the same age.
Nope, no sex scandals yet. But I am open to offers!
We'd been waiting decades to work together. Finally. I love John. He brought so much of himself to the character, so much improvisation, very encouraging and very free.
I think the more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you're putting yourself out there all the time, you're not holding anything back.
