successful thinking roles
I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.
actors shampoo modeling
I'll tell you what I probably would prefer to happen less and less: actors that I know and respect in shampoo ads. Or modeling.
good-movie matter fans
I'm a huge Woody Allen fan. Good movie, bad movie, it doesn't matter - I just like his movies.
fear stage stage-fright
I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.
children father hands
Child-rearing is my main interest now. I'm a hands-on father.
trying paid
You try to do your best at what you're getting paid for.
dream children believe
I do not believe in a simplistic and inflammatory view of good and evil. I believe this is a big world full of men, women, and children who struggle to eat, to love, to work, to protect their families, their beliefs, and their dreams.
america gone rats
I've been a road-rat since I got my driver's licence at 16, so I've probably gone across America 20 times.
house anarchy kind
I had a house burn down once, and everything in life burned except my family, and it was so liberating. I didn't have a bad moment about it. It sort of reinvigorated my interest in a lot of things. I wonder if there should be some kind of anarchy.
impact trying narrative
A clearer and more conventional narrative would have helped the film without, in my opinion, lessening its beauty and its impact. Frankly, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing there and what I was supposed to add in that context! What's more, Terry himself never managed to explain it to me clearly.
strong believe opposites
When you get divorced, all the truths that come out, you sit there and go, 'What the f**k was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense. It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me.
wheels inventing
There is no re-inventing the wheel.
believe thinking people
One of the reasons people sell out so quickly is because even the talented think they're frauds. It's a culture that doesn't encourage people to believe in the work they do. You're told to second-guess yourself all the time. That's where I think a little hostility and arrogance can save you. And I've never been lacking for either.
president venezuela revolution
Venezuela and its revolution will endure under the proven leadership of Vice President Maduro,
