Life Stinks, But That Doesn't Mean You

We All Believe What We Read. I Read How Tom Cruise And I Were Two Big Egos Holding Up Shooting. I Know That Isn't True - But If I Wasn't Making A Movie With Him And I Just Picked Up The Paper, I'd Believe It. That's Interesting, Isn't It?

You're Always In A Tunnel That You Can't See The End Of. But There's Something That Took Place On This Movie That I Don't Think We Expected And That Was That Once We Decided That The Entire Cast Would Be Real Retired Opera Singers And Retired Musicians... And These People The Phone Hadn't Rung For Them For 20 Or 40 Years Even Though They Can Deliver.

Poverty Is Not Dated. Homeless People Have Looked The Same Since The Thirteenth Century. Go Back To The Times Of Tolstoy And Dostoyevsky. Look At Photographs. It's Amazing. The Face On A Homeless Person Is Timeless.

I Envy People Who Can Just Look At A Sunset. I Wonder How You Can Shoot It. There Is Nothing More Grotesque To Me Than A Vacation.

Money Is Another Pressure. I'm Not Complaining, I'm Just Saying That There's A Certain Luxury In Having No Money. I Spent Ten Years In New York Not Having It, Not Worrying About It. Suddenly You Have It, Then You Worry, Where Is It Going? Am I Doing The Right Thing With It?
