intimidation percent
Intimidation is 99 percent in the intimidatee's head.
space acting tone
Everybody else, they're wonderful, but [Robert] Duvall sets the tone for all of cinema acting. So just to be in his space was amazing.
jesus doors lunch
We walked out of this library building downtown, just on our way to lunch, and I was walking a few steps behind Travolta, and when he opened the door, it was as if Jesus had just walked out into the commons.
interesting directors wonderful
Steve Zaillian is just the sweetest. A very, very wonderful and interesting director.
foxes directors done
When you're not gaping at Megan Fox enough to listen to what the director's saying, you can get some work done.
way toes energy
Shia [LaBeouf] was great. He's just high energy. He's into really playing, and I had to be on my toes in a way that I wasn't necessarily expecting.
jobs fun moments
Of course, on every job there are moments where you're not having fun.
strong character strong-character
I certainly have played a lot of strong characters, and I love playing a strong character.
thinking self long
I love working with Liev [Schreiber]. I've known him for a long time. I just think he is a master. Few actors are so self-possessed and so focused and so confident.
thinking people able
I think I've been able to be in some really good projects with some really good people.
mean thinking people
I think the better the show usually it means that you've got a lot of good people, because it's sustaining itself. If there's negative energy, things tend to break down ultimately.
upset shooting crystals
I couldn't stop to be upset or depressed about anything when I was at Tiger Stadium with Billy Crystal shooting for three weeks. I was going to enjoy every second - even though apparently I didn't.
school years race
I wound up auditioning, wound up getting in, and I was off to the races: I was putting in four more years after school to train to be an actor. I was 26 years old, and I still had a locker, for Christ's sake!
new-york school eye
Some friends of mine in the class ahead of me in college were auditioning for graduate school in New York, and then a few of them got into Juilliard, and it sort of opened my eyes. I didn't really know anything about it, but it opened my eyes to a possible next step after school, where I could just deepen my knowledge and also not be responsible for life and stay in school.
