And you call yourselves a bowling alley?
So I just took some time off. I was maybe going to do two or three years and it turned into five years. But certainly, I’d say it was the best thing I ever did. And now I come back to this whole thing really energized about it.
Some people make a great film and then they can’t follow up.
There’s just something extraordinary about that Selma Hayek.
I’ve been in so many good movies that I felt like nobody saw; it’s a pretty dreadful feeling.
It’s an odd beast, fame. It’s got multiple personalities.
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.
Sometimes I feel people think I live on a commune but I don’t. We are all solar, though. There are no power lines. It’s mostly farmers, so everyone who has tractors uses bio-diesel.
I related to his disillusionment. Thinking that he was going for this big dream. Then he kind of saw through it all at one point and went back home. Then he started a bender, which I can relate to of course.
It’s the best thing going, parenthood.
I was a freshman in college in 1980, the year that Reagan was elected, and I went around badgering people to vote for him.
When I was in my twenties and just so sexually prolific, the first time I went to Machu Picchu, this guy, a spiritual teacher, says to me, “When you make love, you must be making love.” I thought that was the greatest advice I had ever heard.
And Garrison Keillor I think is a fascinating guy and really entertaining.
We don’t get the greatest tools to deal with anger. It’s like, ‘Hey, count to 10.’ When someone really upsets me, how do I respond? I don’t usually start counting to 10 and breathing deeply.
I have a strong spiritual life. I can’t say that I have faith that Jesus is my Savior, but I look at Jesus in the same way that I look at, you know, Mohammed. He was giving everyone the goods. So was Gandhi.
A moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers.
The war against terrorism is terrorism.
I think it’s wonderful to be here. And what a beautiful city you have here.
Violence was almost an aphrodisiac for me.
I think I’m probably a better sport. You tend to really just freak when you lose. You have a real hard time with it.
I think the world’s still gonna be here in another 10, 20 years. But I’m not feeling great about things ecologically.
