You know, it's kind of a shame in a way but the more seasoned directors a lot of times have more difficult getting a job than first time guys. New kid on the block kind of thing.
I'm pretty critical of myself as far as reaching some sort of perfect bull's-eye or target that I'm aiming for.
To go into therapy is an adventure, not really to iron anything out.
I'm not locked into playing one guy.
I'm drawn to the path of least resistance.
I'm also working closely with a group called the Amazon Conservation Team, helping with the rainforest in South America.
Whenever you're the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that.
Often when I finish a film I'll have that feeling inside me: 'I never want to do this ever again. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.' And then, thank God, that feeling goes away after a month or so and I'm raring to go again.
I don't really think in career terms.
I don't really consider myself one of those actors who takes his work home with him.
All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding.
She was this incredible mom. With each of her kids, she did something called `time,' where she would spend an hour each day doing whatever the kid wanted to do, whether it was play spacemen or `Let's go into your makeup, and I'll make you up like a clown.' And as a teenager you'd be like, `Rub me, Mom. Give me a massage.'
I have a cycle that is not particularly cool, but it's a cycle: trash myself to reward myself.
I hate it when there's a good movie, someone overhypes it and I'm disappointed that I don't like it more.
I gotta take notes when things occur to me.
Hope's interesting, isn't it? I can't turn hope off, it's hopeless.
I don't have too much time to jam with the rest of Hollywood.
For me, growing up, the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father, you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door, through my dad.
If you're married you'll have tough times.
Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.
Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that.
I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific.
One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age.
I like to know where the camera is.
I like to think of myself as a character actor, though there's some redundancy in that...
