bore came classes learn serious surprise
Classes were always a bore to me. I wanted to learn things on my own, not by presentations.I was a loudmouth and a clown. It came as a surprise to me, later, that I could be serious and still get attention.
action attention aware brings despite fact hope issue major people plays serious typical weaponry
I really want people to know that despite the title, and despite the fact that weaponry plays a major role, this is anything but a typical action movie, ... It's a movie I hope brings some attention to what is a very serious issue for me, and one that a lot of people just aren't aware of.
demeanor liked
I just liked Tom's demeanor -- I liked his energy,
american-musician married sad
I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place.
cheap feeling grateful gratitude people solid street time
I don't like it when people on the street say ''smile'' or ''cheer up.'' It's a real cheap line. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling real grateful for everything. It's a solid time in my life. When people say I look sad, they're wrong.
I like all Japan. I like sushi. I like Mt. Fuji.
motorcycle chance contracts
I'm legally unable to ride motorcycles. It's a contract that I have with my life insurance, so whenever I get a chance to do a movie and ride a bike I go for it.
intelligent roots people
Well, good science fiction is intelligent. It asks big questions that are on people's minds. It's not impossible. It has some sort of root in the abstract. So automatically you're getting closer to potentially divine sources of interest because it is abstract. It's one of the only ways that a film actor can express himself in the abstract and have audiences still go along for the ride. They don't contend it. They accept it, that they're going to go places that are a bit more of the imagination, a bit more out there, and that's more and more where I like to dance.
tired thinking people
I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people's minds.
thinking choices together
Without impending on your own personal choice, there are going to be those that wear the hat of religion and those that wear the hat of science. I still don't really understand why they can't wear both hats, because personally, I think that they go beautifully together.
thinking believer seekers
I'm a seeker. I'm very much a believer in science. But I do think there are times when science and mysticism intersect.
blue actors green
I do understand sometimes when actors say there's no one to talk to, or you can't react to, there's truth in that, but for me, I've always enjoyed green screen, and blue screen.
emotional play careers
First of all the criteria that I have that goes into any career decision is whether or not I have the life experience, emotional resources to play the part truthfully or the imagination. Second, would be the director.
thinking interesting important
I really think it's important that my beliefs don't impinge upon what you get from the movie. It's your opinion that matters and it's far more interesting than mine.
