character interesting trying
Because it's me playing the character, trying to find a way to make it believable and entertaining and interesting.
real interesting trying
It's not enough just to be real; you have to try to make it interesting or entertaining.
interesting people quality
The movies I've done with Wes [Anderson] have a much different quality than some of the more broad comedies. But what is interesting is how many sequels I've done. I've worked with Ben [Stiller] a million times now, and this is yet another sequel we're doing. I guess we're lucky to be in some movies that people wanted to see again.
real interesting shining
I remember hearing a good story about Jack Nicholson working with Stanley Kubrick on The Shining [1980]. Nicholson was saying that, as an actor, you always want to try to make things real. And believable. When he was working with Kubrick, he finished a take and said, "I feel like that was real." And Kubrick said, "Yes, it's real, but it's not interesting".
interesting trying way
I try to find a way to make it comfortable or interesting or funny to me.
acting scary seem
Acting just doesn't seem that scary to me. It's just a feel you get and you do it.
connected fan favorite maybe means people personal tend though
The people that come up to me about 'Bottle Rocket' tend to be my favorite maybe because that was our first movie and that was maybe the most personal one to us, ... And so that means more than like an 'Anaconda' fan even though you're appreciative of that. But I'm more connected emotionally to 'Bottle Rocket' than 'Anaconda.'
giving might way
The way Woody Allen directs, there isn't a lot of direction. He kind of might give a few gentle suggestions, but he really says right from the first day, "Just make it sound natural, and if you don't like something, put it in your own words." And [Woody Allen] gives you a lot of freedom and just very polite.
believe thinking people
I think the way it works is that when you're casting a movie, you usually want to work with people that you believe in.
lying heart men
Men love to trust God (as they profess) for what they have in their hands, in possession, or what lies in an easy view; place their desires afar off, carry their accomplishment behind the clouds out of their sight, interpose difficulties and perplexities -- their hearts are instantly sick. They cannot wait for God; they do not trust Him, nor ever did. Would you have the presence of God with you? Learn to wait quietly for the salvation you expect from Him.
crazy thinking comedy
I haven't seen a lot of screwball comedies, and I don't think of myself as loving the genre. To me it sounds like, okay, you're going to be in a lot of crazy situations that are unbelievable.
home museums dallas
I love Francis Bacon. I just saw a great Jackson Pollock exhibit at the Dallas Museum when I was home for Thanksgiving.
rome never-change
I guess that's the thing about Rome: It never changes.
thinking guy important
James L.Brooks is just a very original person. So that was definitely the luckiest, most important thing that happened to me [meeting him]. Then I guess also meeting Ben Stiller. He cast me in the only thing I think I ever auditioned for and got: Cable Guy [1996]. And that led to us becoming friends.
