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.
fell love movies
In my teens, I fell in love with the movies.
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.
real love-is people
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.
love believe celebrity-relationship
I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.
directors few spending watching
There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies.
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.
