A nicely fitted two-button suit is the best thing any guy can have. Guys are lucky: We can wear a suit over and over, just with different shirts and ties.
I don't know where this is coming from; I've never played 'the game,' ... I did hear rumblings that some of those guys were out there, you know, flashing their gear. Whatever turns your crank, that's what I say.
I've had the pretty good fortune of working with some decent guys and gals.
I'm the guy doing calisthenics. I'm doing jumping jacks and deep knee bends. I work out like a British person.
A producer is someone who actually calls the shots. An executive producer is just a guy that eats more food at craft service.
Character acting is a much braver pursuit than a guy who runs around and intermittently clenches his jaw muscles.
I'm one of the most fortunate guys around,I still get to do those kinds of movies, and then I get to do Green Lantern, and I get to do Buried with an auteur like Rodrigo Cortés. I enjoy that I can get away with that.
We might be too proud to admit it as guys, but we still need to learn how to manage responsibility, how to face our challenges.
Michael Keaton had a great, great career. I do remember when I was a young guy thinking about him, about how he'd had the chance to do it all, so yeah. But, there's nobody where I've said, "Man, I really want that guy's career."
Guys are lucky: We can wear a suit over and over, just with different shirts and ties.
There are guys I admire. Like Jimmy Stewart and - a more modern example - Tom Hanks. They managed to do it and have a really high standard for their work, but at the same time they remained incredibly classy and well-regarded personally throughout the process, which I thought was rare and kind of cool. And I'm trying. I try. I haven't thrown any TVs out the hotel window yet.
My career has been an inch at a time.
It's very tricky to throw a morally flexible character onto the screen and have an audience empathize. It's always an exercise in restraint.
It was comical because you're at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns.
