Most Films, It Doesn't Matter If You

I Was A Very Good Baseball Player And Football Player As A Kid, But My Father Always Told Me - Occasionally While Striking Me - That I Was Much More Interested In How I Looked Playing Baseball Or Football Than In Actually Playing. And I Think There's Great Truth In That.

People Get Up, They Go To Work, They Have Their Lives, But You'll Never See The Headlines Say, 'six Billion People Got Along Rather Well Today.' You'll Have The Headline About The 30 People Who Shot Each Other.

With Acting It's Your Neck Up There In The End. And If You Think The Director Can't Help You It's One Thing. But If You Feel They're Reining You In When They Need To Be Giving You Some Rope, Or Vice Versa, Then I Just Don't Tolerate That.

What You Really Need To Build A Character Is Exactly What You Don't Have In The Movies - Time. You Know, Movies Are Like A Line Drawing. You Have To Make Very Quick Decisions, Which Are, In The End Instinctive. Or You Make A Decision To Say "well, Maybe I Can Do That, Because... Oh, That Could Be Irritating After A While, Or Distracting, Etc. Etc." Some Of It Is A Matter Of Time, Always.

I Love To Watch Good Actors Who Surprise And Amuse Me.
