As an actor, the minute you start getting real in interviews, you lose mystery.
To be able to sit in Donald Trump's apartment and talk about the future of corporate real estate was amazing.
I became a Christian man in a very real way. I could have just said the prayers that were on the page, but it was a real thing that really saved me. And you can't identify unless you're really going through it. It's a full-blown exchange of heart, a surrender of control.
I'm not a celebrity, I've kind of been under the radar, has kept it easier for me to maintain a career.
I like messing around, and I like working with artists who I respect.
I'm Richie Rich. I land in New York, secretly thinking I'm like the coolest guy in the world.
I'm a call-sheet junkie. I love being on set. So, the hardest thing for me is dealing with all this idle time. That's when I get into trouble.
Oh, I've been in love with every woman I've ever worked with.
There's only so far you can take a relationship before you got to get into things that are too serious or over the top.
Actors live dependent on being validated by other people's opinions. I don't understand what it is I do that people want. I don't know what an actor does. I have no credentials. I don't know what I'm doing.
I've never been able to learn from other people's mistakes - I'm not that smart - so I usually learn by trial by fire.
Sometimes perception is almost more important than the skill level of an actor.
Well, there's different shades of Hollywood, sure. I mean, I'm working in this business but I'm not Hollywood.
A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man's sport, ... Or it's a rich man's sport, or it's a sport that they can't be involved in. But they don't know Francis' story, which is why the movie was made in the first place: To bring back this amazing tale so that people could be educated about how interesting it was. When golf used to be a rich man's sport, if you were poor you could not step foot on a course. Francis was a caddy. He grew up across the street from the course, looked up to Harry Vardon (played by Stephen Dillane in the film), this five-time British Open champion but he was never allowed to play.
