I was always a character actor, basically, that sometimes looks like a leading man.
I do feel fortunate in that I am probably allowed more often to be a character actor then most actors are allowed to be, and I don't take that lightly or superficially at all. I mean, I really do appreciate it.
I couldn't function if I weren't allowed to stretch and do really different characters where I can change the whole "beingness" of that person. That's my pleasure in acting and has been since I was a kid. That's always been my pleasure to create complete characters.
Not really since 'The Godfather' had I felt anyone tried to nail the era (so well).
I'm realizing that for so much of my life I had an older viewpoint; I saw things as an older person. That's common among change-of-life babies. So I have this dichotomy where I'm either, like, super young or feel like I'm coming to the end of my years.
I learned early on to stay away from gossip magazines and reviews. That stuff just makes you unhappy, and I know actors that read everything that's written about them and they're miserable. You can choose what to let into your life.
I've hit a milestone in my life, turning 50, and if I waited any longer I'd have to write two books. I've had such a full life, I really want to share it.
I've done so many interviews that I've gotten past the ego and the personality.
Every move he makes is a selling shot. I was overwhelmed.
There's no reason why a film shouldn't choose Florida. But the incentive matters.
It would be another side game to play.
I wanted my own little airliner in the backyard, ... I'd have my girlfriends use their Brownie uniforms to be the flight attendants, and I was the captain and they would have to pretend they were serving people.
Scientology is one of the least homophobic religions. It's not very interested in the body at all.
I grew up with these kind of men.
