clear coach deal direct good great players shows
He's such a good coach because he is very clear and direct to the players on what he wants. He really makes them accountable, but in his own way always shows a great deal of support.
drama reality trying
With comedy, you have to do it right. In a drama, there's a lot of different ways to succeed in a moment. But comedy comes from reality. You can't try to be funny.
mean office actors
There are short parts that I as an actor am very right for. Or I just like the part. Or you need someone like me for the movie. By that I don't mean at the box office, I mean in the execution of the material.
opportunity long tomatoes
There has long been a bemoaning of the lack of opportunity to make films that are anything but explosions or the ladling on the pea soup or whatever you want to call it. You can hardly make a movie where somebody isn't a murderer or a rapist or, if it's a "Fried Green Tomatoes" that isn't some wistful thing on this, that or the other thing.
people sometimes difficult
It's difficult for people sometimes to recognise when they're happy. People sometimes seem to me to be afraid to be happy.
bucks crisis majors
Million bucks won't see you through a major health crisis.
children past people
It's the post-literate generation that is most disturbing to a movie-maker. The explosions and the knifings. People like to go to what's hot and you can't get past a certain gross unless you involve children who go more than once.
art cancer home
It [TV] is the cancer of film. It's why people can't be educated to film. In the late '60s, we expected to see a movie or two every week and be stimulated, excited and inspired. And we did. Every week after week. Antonioni, Goddard, Truffaut - this endless list of people. And then comes television and home video. I know how to work exactly for the big screen, but it doesn't matter what I think about the art of movie-making versus TV.
media america people
Freedom in every sense but primarily political sense, a rise in repression that stems from a repression of sexuality. It's AIDS, it's herpes, it's this, it's that. Ask any saloon owner what's happened to social life in America and they'll tell you it's a different world and these people are strongly misinformed by the media, peer pressure.
kids having-kids positive-things
Having kids is the most innately positive thing that anyone can do.
real stupid worry
I'm fairly well off. I can't poor-mouth that away from people's sensibilities about me, which is something I worry about as an actor. But it would be real stupid of me to do something for the money.
believe six-months forget
I would never say, "I'm retired." I believe if I decided to just not work, in six months everybody would just forget whether you were working or not.
character play ideas
The first role I ever played I had the lead and it's pretty much stayed that way, though people take great relish in calling me a character actor, which I am. There are a lot of short parts I could play, but I only do them when they are central to the idea of the movie.
trying interviews problem
Always try in interviews to avoid the cliches about the problems of public life.
