I Knew You Had To Go In

I Had A Good Understating About Press: That It's The Actor's Responsibility To Publicize His Or Her Films, That The Press Can Be Fun, That It's Not About Hyping Yourself Into Stardom Or Trying To Sell Yourself As A Hot Ticket. I Think A Lot Of Young Actors Now Are Getting Caught Up In That.

You're Not Directing An Actor Toward A Thing They Can't Achieve. Because Direction Is Elusive. When Directors Hold Respect For The Various Craftsmen And -women Who Are Telling The Story, It's The Greatest Result. I Think People Do Their Bravest Work When Given An Elusive Canvas.

It Sounds Like A Cliché, But Mother Is Really One Of My Closest Friends, And So's My Dad. He And I Weren't Very Close When I Was Younger, But Now We're Best Friends.

I'm Friends With Renny Harlan, Who Directed Die Hard 2, And I Will Say, I Thought It Was Beautifully Done. What I Loved About It Was That The Bad Guys Are Basically American Political Figures. They Don't Have East German Accents Or Whatever.

I Love Comedy. David's Lynch The Only Person I've Worked With More Than Once Who Sees Me As A Specific Thing - He Sees Me As The Sexy Bimbo, In Ways, And He Also Sees Me As Lucille Ball. Actually, Nick Cage And I Did Lucy And Ricky In Two Scenes In Wild At Heart That Were Cut Because The Movie Was Four Hours Long.
