Kissing’s a good thing, man. It’s the doorbell of intimacy.
I would say 95% of the time, because you just can’t remember your lines if you’re drinking alcohol. I would say about 95% of the time it was grape juice or this fake wine, which was horrible.
I probably am. I think Paul Giamatti also said in an interview that I was “f – king crazy.” I’m flattered by that. I want to be that guy who’s nuts who makes people think.
Sight is about what lies right in front of us. Vision is what lies ahead.
And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.
As an actor I kind of do. I started out doing voice overs in the mid 80s when I was in grad school.
Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I’m feeling pretty humbled these days.

I don’t want my hair to be ridiculous. But in Texas I do wear a hat a lot, so I probably have hat-head more than I’m aware of.
Children from like 8 and even up to the college age – Spider-Man appeals to a fairly broad demographic but, like I said, a mean age probably of 12 is a good mark – they process information so quickly and it’s not because of attention deficit or short attention span.
I have a healthy sense of vanity. I like to look good for myself, which is what a lot of women say. I want to stay fit.
Of course, anybody’s who’s 26 years old will probably say, “Of course the old guy would say that.” But wait until you’re 45 or 46 years old. See how you feel about it then.
Look at the Native American culture. They revere the elders.
I hate it when women fight aging with plastic surgery or fashion choices. There’s this arrogant youth worship in our society.
One that always stings is “Grow up.” And it stings most when you have the suspicion that it is justified, that you have just done somethingchildish and you got nailed for it. It’s probably been said to me a few times.
I’ve been an admirer of Helen Mirren for a long time. As I get older, I find myself admiring older women who have poise and elegance.
If you are truly fearless as a performer, than you don’t fear kids or dogs.
