I feel like I made a little bit of difference.
You have to understand that crew members make movies so they’re seeing a lot of actors all the time in their career acting.
Well, I think everyone struggles with self-love.
Ultimately what I’ll do next is up in the air for me.
I try to live my life in such a way that I don’t have any regrets. That’s probably why I work so much. I don’t want to feel I missed something important.
All over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams.
If I was a little bit younger I would worry more. I’d want to do one thing at a time but now I try to do a bunch of different things at a time if I can.
When you have a child, as anyone knows who has them, that’s basically all you want to talk about.
I think good art, if I could be pretentious enough to say, I think good art deals with the micro to explain the macro.
The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
Sometimes I’m uncomfortable with the level of fame I’ve got! It all depends on the day and what’s going on. I don’t desire any more fame. I don’t need it.
Great talent admits shortcomings.
Was I happy? Or was I just not aware?
Life is short. Time is short. As we get older, time does quicken. It’s long, and it’s long pertaining to that thought, that the past is not done with you because you can’t rid of it.
There are characters in movies who I call ‘film characters.’ They don’t exist in real life. They exist to play out a scenario. They can be in fantastic films, but they are not real characters; what happens to them is not lifelike.
People actually live with their id exposed. They’re not good at concealing what’s going on inside.
I don’t know, I was young, I drank too much, you know, so I stopped. You know what I mean, it’s not really complicated. I had no interest in drinking in moderation. And I still don’t. Just because all that time’s passed doesn’t mean maybe it was just a phase. That’s you know, that’s who I am.
I think I would have drank myself to death, literally, if I didn’t just stop, once and for all when I did. I am not ever going to preach to anyone about drugs or drinking. But, for me, when they were around, I had no self control.
There’s nothing risky in talking about your personal life. People do it all the time.
I would definitely say pleasure is not happiness. Because I think I kill pleasure. Like I take too much of it in, and therefore make it un-pleasurable, like too much coffee, and you’re miserable.
I think part of why I have so many books around me and why I read every day is because I mythologize the writer. I don’t do that with any other artists.
