Movie actors earn their living and learn their craft through listening and reacting.

I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.

A lot of my best parts I've been the second choice for, so you never get too egotistical about anything.

There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.
ideas asking actors
And to Tom Cruise, for if you had won this, your asking price would have gone down so fast. Do you have any idea what supporting actors get paid? We get only one trailer, a small one, in the back.
jobs ambition golf
If you really want to become an actor, but only providing that acting doesn't interfere with your golf game, political ambitions and your life, you don't want to become an actor. Not only is acting more than a part time job, it's more than a full time job. It's a full time obsession.

I've never been out with a married woman, never. I respect others properties.

People say to me, why did you do those films, and I say, for money. It wasn't for diamond rings or kidney shaped swimming pools in Beverly Hills, it was in order to improve the lot of everyone around me.
magic ordinary three
Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts. The first part is called the Pledge. The magician shows you something ordinary. The second act is called the Turn.

It's vital to have your own space so you aren't constantly in each other's pockets.

I'm doing the next Batman. I have to become obsessed about what is offered to me.

I've been in every disco in the world. I saw a picture of my wife Shakira and I dancing in Studio 54; I didn't even know someone had taken that picture.
communication bursting should
Don't sit as if you have nothing to say. You should be bursting with things to say. You just choose at this particular place and time, not to say them.
