I didn't want to just work within Hollywood when I started a production company. I wanted to be able to collaborate with great artists from all over the world.
The chemistry and the comfort and trust between two people playing a love story l is key, and to have a friend that I could trust, and whose sensibilities I already understood, made it so much easier, and is a big part of why it all looks natural on screen.
I think some of the best actors ever were little kids.
I didn't really like doing commercials. You had to behave like you were on angel dust or something.
That's what life is: repetitive routines. It's a matter of finding the balance between deviating from those patterns and knowing when to repeat them.
If I were to point to the person who's having the greatest impact... I'd point to Elon Musk.
If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.
One thing that stays pretty consistent for all my jobs is, I listen to a lot of music while I'm working.
I suppose the longer anyone spends on earth, the closer we all get to becoming superfluous characters.
The cool thing about my character was that it's not that digital. I get to put hours of prosthetic makeup on and see a different creature altogether. I've seen how he looks and it's really cool.
[hitrecord.org is my] alternative outlet of where I get to be a little less professional and just freak out a little bit.
That you can be whatever you want to be, whoever you want to be, regardless of your gender.
Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.
Supermarket tabloids and celebrity gossip shows are not just innocently shallow entertainment, but a fundamental part of a much larger movement that involves apathy, greed and hierarchy.
