What I've discovered is, really, acting is acting is acting.
Yeah, I made it. It sneaks up on you. You're some schmuck and you wake up one day and you go, Good God, I'm the cheese.
Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.
That red carpet has to be felt to be believed.
A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.
The Spirit Awards are great too, they'll say anything because they're not televised. Another great drinking night.
I have a tendency to say yes to a script or no to a script. Not yes based on a rewrite.
The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.
I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.
It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.
If I like the story and it's well written, and it's a character I want to play and they'll pay me, then I decide to do it.
Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good.
I think I've been in situations where they looked at me and just see some rich white guy - they don't see me at all.
I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.
