I took a break after 'Confessions.' I was real picky. And then I suddenly realized I hadn't worked in a year. And I was sort of, like, not really happy. I think people are happier when they have structure, you know? You realize that as you get older. You have to have rituals and structure.
daydream imagination mainly sort studied teaches technique using
I've studied a technique called the Sanford Miesner technique, that teaches you how to focus. It's mainly about daydreaming. And the technique's really about imaginary circumstances. Using your imagination to sort of daydream about stuff. It makes you emotional in a scene.

One thing that bugs me in comedy is when somebody does a fake cry, you know, like they fake cry in a comedy. But in a drama they'll really cry. That bugs me.

Money is power and power gives you choice.

It's hard to make a good movie in four weeks. It's hard. I've done it, but it's not easy.

I always do drama. It's just that some people laugh at it and some people cry.
ageing reverse spent
After 40, you want to reverse the ageing process. That's complicated for me because I spent so many years wanting to be older.
people
Some actors don't want to, but I prefer to. I like to collaborate. Sometimes you have to keep it to yourself, and people want to do their own thing.
