I sadly never got to my prom. I was shooting 'The Outsiders.'
JFK is a role I've always dreamt of playing.
I feel pressures to stay relevant. To stay interesting and interested. To stay at the top of my game and expand.
For me, the battle is finding the balance between wanting to spend time with my boys and then having enough perspective to still be the disciplinarian and, like, not be in the best friend business.
I don't think any one of us would have thought that this movie would do what it did for all of us.
Here's my theory: If a person gets worldwide fame at a young age, they're emotionally frozen at that moment. For me, that's 15 to 18, so you find yourself in your mid-20s being a glorified 15-year-old. What could possibly go wrong?
Guys are really lucky. We become our authentic selves the older we get.
He's got instincts, great instincts, and he loves talent.
There is a movie called 'My Dog Skip,' starring my 'Outsiders' costar Diane Lane. I do not recommend it. If you have a child, particularly one about to leave home, watching this film is to be emotionally waterboarded.
I would've loved Jack Kennedy. I would've loved to have campaigned for him and supported him. I wish there were more like him today.
I - you know, I loved politics more as a younger man.
I always like stories where the egg ends up on my face.
Whenever you do a revival it begs the question 'why now and why here?'. I can't think of a better place to do the show than London right now, and I can't think of a better theme to do than the cost of protecting the world.
When you're writing personal stories, you have to be totally uncompromising - to the extent that you can be - about yourself. I know that if I am uber-uncompromising with myself, that gives me some latitude to write about others.
