Hell Of A Thing When A Man's

I've Never Wanted To Be The Boss.

I Just Like The Process Of Taking Something Written On A Sheet Of Paper And Giving It Life And Shape. I Like The Collaborative Process Of Filmmaking, Which Is All Simply To Say That I Love My Work And I Would Continue To Look For Things That Have The Potential To Be Engaging And Successful.

I Haven't Purposefully Set Out To Play Heroes. I'm Interested In Playing The Character Who Finds Himself In Extraordinary Circumstances. But He's Really Either Just Saving Himself Or Acting In The Service Of Something That's Important To Him.

I Don't Take Trouble At All To Conform A Screenplay To My Iconography. I Don't Say, "we Can't Do That - The Audience Wouldn't Accept It." I Try To Take The Limitations Of What Is Required To Play A Leading Character And Then Screw With Them.

I Try To Preserve A Certain Amount Of Time Away From The Movies, So I Don't Allow Time To Do Those Smaller Parts That Might Give Me An Opportunity To Do More Seemingly 'artful' Things. Although, Having Said That, I Don't Feel Any Lack Of Noble Purpose If I Do A Film That's Commercial.
