One of the big things at the press conference was that people didn't want the accents to end up like 'Fargo,' which they felt were an exaggeration, ... We were all real conscientious of trying to get it right and the person in charge of getting the dialect right was amazing. We tried to be subtle.
Now, coming back and doing these films, I really am just trying to be careful about the quality of the project. Really cautious.
I try not to spend too much time with regret, although I wish I'd had more hang time with my dad.
I try to apply the organic concept to my clothes and bedding as well. There's nothing like swimming in organic cotton sheets.
With 'Rampart,' I read it and I'm like, 'That's the best role I've ever been offered. Phenomenal.' But, I was daunted, you know? Like the concept of trying to be a cop. It's just bizarre, man. Bizarre to even think about.
Everything I do, I try to think, 'Okay, what are the ramifications?' Like, with the clothes I wear, I prefer if it's grown organically, because cotton - which is what's used in most clothing - takes up 50 percent of all pesticide use.
I used to have terrible acne on my face: red, splotchy discoloration. And mucus - I was constantly blowing my nose. Then one day, this woman sits down next to me on a bus, and says, 'You're lactose-intolerant.' It all cleared up in three days. That changed my life. Doctors couldn't figure it out.
Me, I'll cut up and horse around right up until they say 'Action! But I loved seeing the preparation, the time she took. Before the cameras roll, in between setups, she is so present in the depth, in the feeling of what's going on with her character. And then, of course, you see the movie, and it's an amazing performance.
Bur I think all the environmental groups have to focus on at least one main issue together. That's the move we need to do right now.
NEVER BEEN SURROUNDED BY SO MANY GREAT ATHLETES
That's probably my favorite moment in the film, ... I watched it, obviously, when they shot it. It was moving, then, but there's something about the way it was captured on film and the way it plays out -- it is powerful.
It's very intimidating, ... The white gloves. . . .
When I let up from the weed, and the drinking too, I cried every day. And I liked that. I like crying. And now I not only wanna cry and show my crying to other people, I wanna just split myself down the middle and open my guts and just throw everything out!
When we did the press conference in the range there was this interesting-looking guy who asked, 'So, you played a mass murderer, a pornographer and now a lawyer -- is there any depth to which you will not sink in your roles?' I thought it was really funny, as if the most extreme of them was a lawyer,
