home remote town
My home town is very small and very remote and we don't have a movie house.
deem people perfectly pursue willing work
I have nothing against interviews. I don't pursue them. When people I work for deem it appropriate, I'm perfectly willing to serve.
people mind together
As an actor to watch an audience of people howl together in a single mind as a result of work you've done together with friends is a privilege.
art mistake different
I've worked with more than 50 directors and I've paid attention since day one. That's pretty much been my education, apart from studying art history and shooting with my own cameras. I've seen 50 different sets of mistakes and 50 different ways of achieving.
mars earth clue
I haven't a clue if there is life on other planets but I'd be charmed if we found a unicellular organism on Mars. It would change our whole concept of life on Earth.

Acting is fun for me and it doesn't really matter how, whether it's hard work or easy work, it's always fun.

Human beings are glorious and preposterous characters.

No, I don't think about the myth of the West. It's not the kind of thinking I do. That's more suited to people who live in big towns on the West Coast or East Coast, people who stay under a roof, in a room, all the time.

Cormac McCarthy's language is perfect. He is in my view the greatest living American prose stylist.

Age will flatten a man.

I don't get it. If you're saying, Tommy Lee, you don't fit the image of the East Coast, social elitist wealthy people who comprise Harvard, the only thing I can say is you have no idea what comprises Harvard.
mistake world doe
Meryl Streep does not make mistakes. Sometimes the world just can't keep up.
