I did a little movie called 'Touch of Pink,' where I played a Cary Grant-type guy, which I thought was a lot of fun, and I thought I was moderately successful in my own interpretation of Cary Grant.
I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.
I'm proud of 'The Hidden.' I feel like we took a B-movie and kind of turned it into an A-minus action movie. We kind of elevated the material a little bit. It's got a great car-chase scene at the very beginning. It has some terrific moments in it, some funny stuff. It's a great rental.
For the time it takes to make the film, you are treated like a cosseted pet. Then the process is over, and you're hung out to dry. It's like being a mink.
I get very caught up with things. I used to be dominated by domestic things. I had a lovely house in LA-and it became this growing, mad obsession
As an actor, you're always in situations that can be compromising. But you can wipe away that gray area by making a choice.
I'd like to do more Shakespeare. I'd like to do Iago in Othello. I look so benign. It would be interesting to see that black evil come out of my soul
Helmut Lang does a lot of very military-influenced things. You have to find the designer that suits your body the best, and he works for me.
I already felt disengaged with my contemporaries.
I always liked the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I still want to be Indiana Jones.
I can move around the floor, but I don't know if I'd call that dancing!
I can't get a job, I can't get arrested.
I can't help but feel that stuff that comes to me by chance or on purpose, whatever, tends to reflect where I am as a human being.
I do hang on to things. I was so happy my father saved his army jacket. I grew up wearing that all through high school.
