I had a couple come in with a negative amortization mortgage on a house that costs way too much relative to their income. They’re consuming real estate, not investing in it.
When I feel like I’m doing my best work, there is a bit of a freedom, a bit of flight that you’re not so much losing yourself but you’re sort of in the zone.
You don’t throw away a whole life just because it’s banged up a little.
I’ve been around horses, but I certainly wouldn’t call myself a horseman by any means. It’s a combination of being very aware of them, and not trusting them.
I’m thrilled with my body of work.
I don’t want to go bald, I don’t know what’s coming up next.
You must survive with grace. You must do so gallantly. How archaic these terms seem to us in our modern world. There is little grace or gallantry in commerce or politics and not much in art.
I like a very dry wit, not the big kind of humor like Robin Williams. I don’t think I’m capable of that.
It’s not the size of the hard drive that counts, it’s how you download it.

Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.
Frankly, my politics are pretty left of left.

I’ve got research, I have my own life experience I can apply, and I have my imagination.
