With some actors, you can tell when they're acting all by themselves, no matter who else is in the screen.
Those are usually your better parts because you're not worried about the likeability, ... I think it's a great movie because of the idea that we're not afraid to be at moments unappealing and true to those people who are drinkers and are not always in the best mood. And they're often wicked. And they're sometimes emotional.
We really had a commitment to the firefighters to finally get this movie right. Especially after September 11. We really wanted to put our best foot forward and kind of leave our egos at the door and really be what these guys are, which are a lot of selfless wonderful men and women that want to help,
it blew me away. We hit every note the reader loved, almost by survey.
People make judgments about Scientology, but often they don't know what they're talking about.
I would love to do that, ... We're planning on doing that in the near future, perhaps later this year.
When I first started making films like 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Urban Cowboy,' those were accidents as far as social impact is concerned and we didn't know what we were doing as far as the effects they would have. But when you make decisions like 'Primary Colors' or 'A Civil Action,' those are bolder and kind of dangerous in a way because you can't be guaranteed that anyone will come to them. I really can't do it without you (the film critics) because these kind of films don't survive out there without your acknowledgment. We have to be a team here, otherwise we can't survive very well.
We've been friends for 28 or 29 years and we have always been there for each other no matter what. Thick or thin.
I will be doing DALLAS. I heard LARRY (HAGMAN) approved of me. We were in PRIMARY COLORS together and so it was sweet for him to give his seal of approval.
What we've seen in the shelters is wonderful, because people are being taken care of. What we've seen in the city is disastrous.
Yesterday we left the house, kissed the kids goodbye, then we went into the back yard, got in a jet and flew to London. That was pretty cool,
We'd use IVF. It's not a big deal any more. Children are such a joy.
I could never get a script right, ... Cut to years later and I have this comeback, and I'm too old to play Jonnie, and it's time to play the villain.
Come fly with me, come fly, come fly away ...
