I'm a detail freak. If I'm playing a Marine sergeant, like in Sergeant Ryan, I wanna know everything there is to know about being a Marine sergeant.
I play tough guys in movies and behaved like one in front of the press because I thought that was what a man did.
Whatever it is, if you draw, you paint, you're a carpenter, you play football, the more you do it, you're a journalist, the more stories you write, the more people you interview and navigate your way through these different personalities to get your story, the better you're going to get at it. Acting's no different.
I used to be very rigid because I just wanted to get through it. Now, if I think a scene should go a certain way and it goes another, I'm able to go that new way with ease.
Even though it did well at the box office and I think my performance is fine, I thought ('The Relic') could have been a better movie.
I think I may be in - potentially - three classics. That sounds like I'm bragging.
I got the best roles. I was a very serious actor. Besides me, no one (from the class) has done anything in the business.
She knew what she could do to people,
I'm a success story. I'm one of the winner - knock on wood.
Extra ... I lost everything. I didn't just lose one thing. I left my house ... with $8.38 to my name and I didn't know where I was going.
It was the first new wave, the French new wave that was inculcating the United States. He was right on the cutting edge. Always has been,
I try to stop and take a 10-second break and ask myself before I do something: One, is this going to improve my life for my children, or two, will there be a potential for something to go wrong here?
Temptation is impossible for me to resist... Come on. This is Hollywood. It's in the job description.
Some actors try to play parts and do things they can't do. Being funny is one of them. Being funny's hard.
