Ninety-five percent of celebrity is good.
Even the people that support Bush aren’t happy with the way things are going in Iraq.
I always watch rushes. They give me a sense of whether I’m going in the right direction. You work hard and hopefully get encouragement from what you see.
I did all the dialect work, all my character work completely by myself.
Some people have therapy, some people are alcoholics or they’re in AA. Some people jump out of planes on weekends or find ways to release this kind of thing. And for me, it’s acting. I find acting very therapeutic for whatever it is.
