couple nice meals
You have to make entertaining movies. But like a good meal, it's nice to have a little food for thought after you walk out of the theater rather than just wiling away a couple of hours.
fun hate play
For an actor, its great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks. Audiences love to hate them.
making-money poor
Never knew how poor I was until I started making money.
fall empires
Every empire eventually falls.
kids weekend las-vegas
Everybody knows about Las Vegas. It's a state of mind. Some people want to come with their kids and have a great weekend. Some people want to shop. Some people want to find hookers. Some people want to eat. Some people just want to gamble. It's a potpourri of decadence.
pride four genes
I am a Jew. Those are four words of pride. My Jewishness is as deep as my genes.
watches hobbies events
I'm not a big filmophile. I don't watch movies a lot for a hobby. I spend all my time watching sporting events. Because, opposed to movies, you can never tell how they're going to end.
generations
Everything's so repressive now - it's the No generation. You can't do anything, you can't eat anything, you have to abstain.
character winning careers
I don't even know why, but my entire career is contemporary films. Entire career! There's no period movies - there's one - but there's no period movies, no special effects movies. I just do character studies and so, some of them are gonna bump into each other, but I love the challenge, with a good script. I love the challenge of playing not a very pleasant or attractive character that seduces an audience or wins an audience over by the end.
actors british young
It's a phenomenon that I see with young actors - a lot of American speaking parts going to British actors.
sex mean giving
There was a lot of tabloid journalism about my supposed sex addiction. Bullshit. It's all bullshit. I mean, come on, I never pretended to be a saint. But give me a break.
men common company
The one thing that men and women have in common - they both like the company of men.
careers benefits crowds
It's difficult for me to meet women because my crowd is much older. I know that for some of the young women I do meet, a relationship with me can be envisioned as a benefit to their career.
fragile bubbles
Relationships are like bubbles – they’re fragile.
