It Never Really Worked For Me To

It Helps Me Chill Out And Focus.

Sometimes What Happens Is That, When You Micromanage Actors And Moments, It Just Doesn't Quite Live.

I Remember Anthony Perkins Saying, "real Is Not Necessarily Interesting." So Real Is Not Enough. But What Happens As An Actor Is That You're Really Trained To Listen And To Be Open And Have Empathy. It's Such A Natural Consequence That You End Up Being More Political. You Can Empathize With The Mother Whose Kids Are Going To Be Sent To Iraq, Or You Can Emphasize With The Mother Who Is Losing Their Child To A Disease. How Could You Not Then Be Active? So You're Automatically Drawn To That Aspect In The Rest Of Your Life.

When I Got The Script For Thelma & Louise, When I Met With The Director, Ridley Scott, I Said, "i Don't Want To Do A Revenge Film. I'm Not Interested In Doing That Moment In The Script After They Shoot The Truck, Where It Says They Jump Up And Down And They're Real Happy About It".

I Try To Live My Life Every Day In The Present, And Try Not To Turn A Blind Eye To Injustice And Need.
