A stare is really nothing more than what you're thinking inside.
I think that if you can achieve a balance, then you appease a lot of yourself and your career and what it takes to maintain in this business for a while
I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me
I do certain things that, maybe, nobody else knows why I'm doing. But it's all - it all has to do with - to grow as an actor.
I was looking to become more proactive with my career because I wasn't crazy with some of the scripts I was getting - this was before Blow and Hannibal - so I decided to start my own production company
In college, I started out doing musicals and Shakespeare
I think drug movies free the director to make intense films
I really believe that you never stop learning.
I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.
It would be nice to do a movie where I didn't have to choke the girl to get her.
Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money... I used to love traveling on the trains from town to town. The hotels... brass spittoons in the lobbies, brass beds in the rooms. It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep. Shoot, I'd play for nothing!
You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.
I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.
I think people like watching edgy things.
