And The Joy Of My Job -

I Did One Sci-fi Movie. I Did 'gattaca.' I Liked 'gattaca' Because That Was Always The Kind Of Science Fiction I Really Dug, The Non-action Oriented Sci-fi.

For Me, The Real Goal Is To Integrate. The Thing That I'm Most Happy With Is The Fact That I've Been Able To Keep Doing All Of It - To Keep Writing, And To Keep Acting In Movies, And To Keep Acting On The Stage, To Keep Directing Plays. I Find That They Feed Each Other, And That I Learn About Acting From Directing And I Learn About Writing From Acting.

I Thought I Was So Much Smarter Than Everybody. And I'm Not.

I've Had Different Opportunities In My Life, But I've Tried To Maintain The Spirit Of An Amateur. Our Culture Roots Everything In The Barometer Of Success And How Much Money You Make. But If You Really Just Aspire To A Life In The Arts, It's Really Not A Barometer At All.

I'd Really Rather That Nobody Had A Gun, And Then Nobody Would Have To Worry About It. That Would Be More My Theory. In America, There's This Knee-jerk Response That More Walls And More Guns Make People Safer, And I'm Entirely Suspect Of That Way Of Thinking.
