children father hands
Child-rearing is my main interest now. I'm a hands-on father.
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.
children talking sick
I'm not good at talking to strangers, whether they're sick children or they're - I'm just not good. I'm shy with it.
children opportunity giving
A child gets a fever in the United States and it's high enough and sustainable enough, all of us can bring a child to an emergency room. Most Haitians never had that opportunity. They didn't have the emergency room to bring them to. Virtually every time your child has 102 fever, you wait for it to die and you have no clean water to give it.
direct five four gonna instead pictures three time win
If I win the lottery, I'm gonna direct three to four pictures every four to five years, instead of one - and there won't be time to act.
hands human
It's human to want to get your hands in it.
contribute factors function people piece role type varies
It varies from role to role and the type of the piece and the people you're working with. All those factors contribute to how you function on a movie.
life loved saying shame
There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don't feel I've ever had that.
frustrated somebody
I'm always frustrated when somebody makes a movie out of a book and they leave the book behind, or the heart of it.
energy rhythm true worked
I live in the energy and rhythm of the character. To some degree, that's true of every actor I've worked with.
common form highest might stardom
Turning one's back on stardom might be the highest form of common sense. One that I would aspire to be more complete with.
craft later natural rather somebody
Craft comes into acting later rather than sooner. I was somebody who had to learn through a process - a natural actor doesn't need to.
In school, I was a genius of the year preceding the year I was in, every year.
blade courage dull time
We've let the blade of our innocence dull over time, and it's only in innocence that you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.
