To be counter to the culture, you are by definition willfully and actively ignoring the culture, i.e., reality.
To go from playing Jack Startz in 'Behind the Candelabra' to playing JFK in the same year, I have now operated at the far ends of my range as an actor.
Tom Ford, who is my all-time favourite, once said to me, 'Here's the thing about dress shirts, Rob. You need white, and you need black.' 'What about blue,' I asked. He said, 'Have you ever seen Cary Grant in a blue dress shirt?'
I'll never forget one of those things that my father said to me. My father said: 'You know what? We have had so many amazingly positive experiences that we would have never had because you're famous. We can stand to have a couple negatives ones, too.'
I learned to focus on what's real rather than imagined; on not letting feelings drive the bus; on being courageous and honest; on putting my total effort into something and not worrying about the result.
I like all of John Carpenter's movies. 'The Thing' is my favorite.
I have other obligations now-the show, my family, my life...though I know that without my sobriety I wouldn't have any of those things.
I made a conscious effort to focus on television so I could stay in Los Angeles, so I wasn't on a location all over the world doing movies.
In comedy you have to be willing to not take yourself seriously, you know? I take comedy really seriously, and so to take comedy seriously, you must not, you cannot, ever take yourself seriously.
In my bachelor days, the priority wasn't learning to cook.
I hadn't done a sex scene in like 10 years or something. Not particularly by design. It just hadn't come up, ... I was very nervous to even talk about it, you know, because it's, you know, it's Gwyneth, and I've known her since she was really little. And she's a really dear friend. And like, she and my wife are best pals. And I know the family.
I had met my now wife, Sheryl, and was attempting my first try at monogamy, which was not really in my nature at the time, and I wasn't able to do it.
I'm what you would call an 'independent moderate.'
Individuals usually do a better job than the government.
