I'm not as enamored with actors as I am with musicians, especially like these guys, ... These are some of my heroes, and to be in the same room listening to them play or to what they have to say is fun for me.
I would say invisibility would be sort of a fun power to have just to see what it was like to move through the world and not be looked at.
I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.
I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.
I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again-I just have to find a story I want to tell.
As an actor, I've always believed we have dark sides to ourselves,
All agreed that it would be wise to terminate part of the program that was being underutilized, but at least retain one of the areas. It was a good way to resolve it; Mount Carmel and the township were on the same page.
My kind of stuff, ... I like all kinds of ethnic foods.
Career planning is an oxymoron, I find, but I am sort of trying to focus on doing something that's kind of mainstream.
She used to never put a hat on or put sunglasses on ... which is the first sign of an actor trying not to get recognized, ... Now she's starting to realize that she has to.
There's an addictive quality to fame and when your celebrity starts to wane, people get a real fear about that, ... And that's why I think sometimes you see people who will put themselves on whatever real weird reality shows or they'll find themselves just back in the paper by doing something horrible. I almost get the feeling that it's better than not being in the paper.
They had me booked on the 'Today' show and they cancelled it because of the NC-17 rating. And I come to find out that none of the other morning shows will have me on.
We're famous for going to the hotel rooms and actually cleaning them up.
I had done 'Mystic River' and 'The Woodsman' and they were both internalized characters, characters who could hold an awful lot inside, and I thought it might be cool to go back and do something kind of external and showy, ... I also have rarely played an entertainer, and certainly have rarely played a celebrity, so to tap into those two parts of my own personality, I thought, seemed like it might be kind of interesting.
