I do get cynical, but what can you do? It doesn't make any difference.
I'm not much on sequels; I'm not much on remakes for the most part. I don't really like or dislike them.
Ultimately your job as an actor is to perform however you're being asked to perform and there's many different procedures as an actor that you're going to run into that you should be prepared for and be ready to go to work and do the best you can and give the director the best thing you can to hopefully give him things on that day that could be shot preserved and out into a canned, then when they go into the editing room that's where a movie's made.
When I was working on my career, I was very aware of what I had done, what I wanted to do next. I'm having a good time just reading things that might be interesting to do.
My first year of pro ball I played in the Northwest league and made the all-star team, and the next year I played I led the team in hitting and was third or fifth in the league.
Every director works differently but one thing's important: they must have a vision. If they don't have a vision I don't care how they work.
You get burned a lot as an actor. You give somebody, you give some guy real free reign and he just doesn't know how to edit it properly. It just comes out messed up.
If they're willing to pay you what you think you're worth for it, that's why an actor goes to work. A lot of times they want to pay you a lot for a picture you don't want to do.
The legs feed the wolf.
I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me
I've never looked at my career in terms of, What haven't I done that I want to do? I just generally find a story that I think is a good one and go to work
Acting was something that just came along. But I made good money, so it wasn't something I was just going to put aside and pretend it didn't exist.
For guys playing sports at a high level, for money, I can't put my finger on it, but in a man's world of sport, there is something visceral to beating another man.
I got a kick out of the stands when they would heckle me. I would take the energy from that.
When you first are in front of the camera as a young person, you'd be surprised at all the insecurities you can get.
A great pinot chases its own tail. You drink it and you just keep finding new tastes that go with it. My dream was to make a world-class pinot and learn more about other wines as well.
I played professional level sports. When you're playing for money, it's a whole other level.
I hate giving away tricks, you have to create an impression and not an image. You want audiences to look at certain places and not look at other places. And when you've got the help of modern-day abilities with technology, it's a much more natural look.
It's not easy making money as an actor. It's just not an easy thing to do. There's so many that want to do it and so few opportunities to do it that it's not as easy as it would seem.
I'm not a good collector.
We all do that thing which is the best in movies - we relate.
