I'm a jet jockey and I've always escaped ever since I was a kid. I've always been a weekend type runaway person. Work hard, play hard type thing. It's not been a mid-life thing at all, it's been a habit because I think it changes your environment and how you feel even if it's for the day. It's a good thing.
It's hard to make a cultural phenomenon every time.
When I was a kid in the 60s, believe it or not, most of you are younger and don't know that, but it was a blast to fly! You dressed up, you got in your Sunday best, women wore white gloves, you had room to stretch your legs out, you had a very nice meal, the stewardess paid particular attention to you. It was an event. It's so different today.
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,
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.
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.
I would really love to do it here. We're just at home and as happy as we can be here.
I grew up with these kind of men.
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.
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.
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.
