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.
destroying knowing love people stories
I love stories about people who are smart enough to know that what they're doing is destroying them, but that knowing that doesn't help them.
cannot fell love period struggle struggled theater time
I cannot tell you that I ever fell in love with the theater as an audience. I fell in love with the theater as an actor for a period of time, but I have struggled as an audience, and I struggle more now than then. I was always a movie guy.

In my teens, I fell in love with the movies.

Love is a mess, at best, and I figure it can be very real in spite of all the things people try to attach to it.
mean romantic-love levels
That on a romantic level, if you feel it about somebody and it's pure, it means that they do too.

I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.

These are the rare directors who come along, and you're lucky if you stumble across one as an actor.

Somewhere along the line, the actions of this government are the actions of me.

tearing oneself apart for the amusement of the audience.
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.
