I Take Some Pride In... Representing Myself

I'm A Soldier Who Didn't Know How Nasty The Battle Was Going To Be, And Now, I've Got A Purple Heart And I'm Back.

I Don't Like Words Coming Out Of A Character's Mouth That I Adore Because Not Only Is He A Little Bit Duplicitous But He's Kind Of Practical In The Way He Thinks, And He Thinks In Terms Of Everyone's Humanity And How Quickly We Can Go Against What We Think We Meant When We Said It Or What We Believe Or Blah, Blah, Blah.

I Think Paranoia Goes From Generation To Generation. It's Convenient To Imagine That There's A Few People Controlling Everything, That Way It's Manageable And Small. But That's Not Life, Life Is Messy.

The Higher The Stakes, The Happier I Am, The Better I Will Be.

I Would Say That Among My Many Huge Emotional Miscalculations Was My Taking A Film Career For Granted. It Is The Most Awesome Privilege To Be Able To Use One's Imagination And Wit, Physicality And Musicality, Conscious Brain And Unconscious Instinct In The Service Of A Work That Has A Chance To Move And Excite And Amuse And Delight People All Over The World, Including Long After We're Dead. What A Noble Calling! And I Felt It Was Just There For Me As A Kind Of Given, Some Sort Of Inherited Birthright-when In Reality It's The Most Magnificent Luxury.
