circumstances controlled
I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.
want mercy stage
I did not want to be coming off the stage at the mercy of what somebody else told me I did.
successful directors would-be
There are many directors in the middle range who've made mostly successful pictures, and then there are a few great directors who've had some successes and some failures. I suppose my life would be smoother if I wasn't almost totally enamored of the latter category.
lying care periods
There was a period when I just wanted to make what I wanted to make and I didn't care what lie I had to tell.
thinking want taste
I don't want to direct a movie as good as Antonioni, or Kubrick, or Polanski, or whoever. I want it to be my own. I think I've got the seed of it and, what's more, that I can make movies that are different and informed by my taste.
writing vantage-point different
I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.
thinking play scare
I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others...
tvs wake-up host
You have to do every movie one at a time. Trilogy is contrary to this ideology. My nightmare is to wake up and find myself the host of a TV series.
You can't say, "I'm gonna make a hit movie." You're as dead as you could be.
eye people sunglasses
I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye. But I can't look into the eyes of everyone who wants to look into mine; I can't emotionally cope with that kind of volume. Sunglasses are part of my armor.
sports fuel fans
The fuel for the sports fan is the ability to have private theories.
feet bird tree
I want a big 25-foot pink statue that holds my grave. Or I also might like the way the Indians did it. They hang you up on the top of a tree and the birds eat you. No, really I would probably choose cremating.
jobs people easier
The less people know about me, the easier my job is.
jobs thinking live-your-life
I have mainly been interested in acting. I think it's a great job, a fine way to live your life.
