Whatever You Do, Do It Completely. Don't

Suddenly People Were Saying I Was Cocky Because I'd Done A Steven Spielberg Movie And Thought I Was Better Than Everyone Else, Which Surprised Me At First. I Suddenly Started Feeling Like A Freak Because Everyone Was Treating Me Differently. It Was Confusing, And I Did Wonder If Acting Was For Me Anymore.

It's Very Easy To Leave When Things Go Wrong, But To Stick Around And To Basically Give Life To A Town Because Of Everything That It Gave You Generation After Generation After Generation, That To Me Is What Defines A True American.

People Always Say, "what Do You Want To Do Next, What Kind Of Movie Do You Want To Do Next?" And I Say, "i Wanna Do Whatever Script That Is The Best One That Comes My Way." I Certainly Would Never Say, "oh, I'm Gonna Do A Western Next," And Sit Around Waitin' For A Western To Come Along When There's Some Other Genre's Brilliant Script Sitting Right There.

I've Always Felt That I Would Rather See An Actor, Writer, Or Musician's Work, Rather Than Actually Know The Person. If You Know Too Much About An Artist, It Somehow Lessens Their Ability To Do Their Work As Well.

I Ain't The First On The List That People Are Sending Scripts To. I'm Very Lucky. I've Managed To Put Myself In The Position With Some Directors, Who Will Be Calling Me Directly, And We're Working On Things And Talking About Things, But That's On A Purely Creative Level.
