The only really conscious decision I made was to cast my net wide and if the work was good, to do it.
If you have two parents who have to work, who want to work, you need to have someone to guide your child.
I'm profoundly lucky. I really like it. I really like my work. I've liked it since I was 5 years old.
I love to work in all sorts of different situations.
I just want to say, 'Go work! It doesn't matter what it is. Work begets work. Just go!'
I tend not to think that way though I wish I could. There are certainly playwrights whose work I would like to have the opportunity to work on, such as O'Neil and Williams and to have the experience of having that repertoire, because I think every actor should have a go at that sort of stuff.
I hope it gets more people in to see the movie. For those who worked so hard and care about it so much, that's really the most important thing.
I'm forever saying to directors and screenwriters I've worked with, 'We don't need this part; let me act it.'
And Kathy Bates has taken up directing. So like Rob, she's worked in front of the camera as well as behind it. So the depth of the conversation should be great.
I've never been to Buffalo. And we're having a fantastic time here. I'm a little surprised by the turnout and a little overwhelmed. And thank you all so much. We know that at times it can be inconvenient to have a film crew come into your neighborhood. And we just want to say thank you.
I'm so surprised by the turnout today and a little overwhelmed, so thank you very much. How grateful we all are to be here and to thank you all for letting us invade your streets and film here. We know that at times it can be inconvenient to have a film crew come in to your neighborhoods and we just wanna say thank you.
If this movie threatens or challenges you, then there's something else you should look at. People are so scared to touch on these issues. The good thing about this movie is that it forces you to do that.
I have never been so impressed with anyone in rehearsal in my life as I was with her,
It is tough staying in touch with family and friends and trying to have a relationship, all of that stuff is hard. It takes a very special man to put up with it.
