I Want, Overall, To Trust What I

As An Actor, I Feel Like I'm Somebody Who, When Somebody Gives Me A Mark, I Don't Want To Hit It. I Don't Like That. But Then, Without Even Knowing It, I Just Hit It.

Working With Jim Sheridan For Instance, We Did This Movie Brothers. Jim Will Ask Anybody - We'll Get A Delivery On Set, And Like The Poor Delivery Guy Will Be Like, "here's Your Pizza," And He'll Be Like, "come Over Here. Come Here. I Want To Ask You A Question. Do You Think This Is Real? What Do You Think? Should We Do Another Take?" And They're Like, "i, Uh, You Want Your Pizza?" There's No Shame In Everybody's Ideas. There's No Shame In Somebody Not Knowing.

I Always Say About That Movie [ Brokeback Mountain], Which I Think Maybe Over Time Is More Understood, Is That This Is About Two People Desperately Looking For Love. To Be Loved. And Who Were Probably Capable Of It. And They Just Found It With Someone Of The Same Sex.that Does Not Dismiss The Fact That It Is About, Really, Primarily, The First Kind Of Very Profound Gay Love Story. Hopefully It Can Create An Equality Of An Idea: That Is, It's Possible That You Can Find Love Anywhere.

I Was Trying To Figure Out Where My Intellect, If I Really Have One, Where It Fit. And So I Was Searching. I Really Didn't Know Who I Was Or What I Really Wanted To Be, And In That Search, Like I Think You Do As An Actor, You End Up Trying To Define Whatever That Is, And I Sort Of Said, "oh Well, Searching Spiritually In A Way Is Interesting, And Eastern Religion Seems To Be About A Search."

I'm At A Period In My Life When I'm Figuring Out My Idea Of Who I Am And What I Want And How To Hold Onto Love -- All That Big Stuff. And I'm Starting To Realize That It Can Happen At Any Age. I Know People Who Are In Their 50s Who Are Figuring Out What They Want And Who They Are, And I Think It's Great. It's Like You're Always Approaching Life As A Beginner.
