He had one scene, one scene, and I think he had one line. And he was a director, and I was the actor auditioning. It was a spoof on what happens in Hollywood.
I had to get some real ballplayers and real umpires to give instructions,
because there are a lot of characters that aren't followed through.
I've made a lot of mistakes and I don't regret any of them. Sometimes that's the only way you learn.
Early on I decided that I was going to lie to the press. The best approach to talking about my personal life was to lie.
If you're older you want to tell stories about the pool of human life and living and to communicate, not only to your age group but to do an age group that can begin to understand, that has enough experience of life far beyond the taste of life.
I never liked the Oscars. They didn't do too much for me at all. I felt like a big, vulnerable hunk of baloney being used to sell some products.
Everything has a purpose, even this, and it's up to you to find it.
You do come to a point where you can get your life in control a bit. But going through life, you discover these deep, dark things in yourself that you cant run away from, so you have to learn to embrace them. I mean, the difference between a murderer and myself is only that I choose not to do it. But Im totally capable.
Asking for forgiveness is just one of the most painful kind of experiences.
Now, there is always a tremendous fear of science and progressing forward into areas of the unknown and it is a valid fear. Some of the genetic alterations of food are a little edgy.
When you are making the one you are doing, you think it is the greatest film going. And then you do another one and it is a great film.
Class isn't something you buy. Look at you ... you've got on a $500 suit and you're still a low life.
If you feel you have a film that's valid, you stick your ass on the line.
