Movies are hard work. The public doesn't see that. The critics don't see it. But they're a lot of work. A lot of work.
I don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.
The one thing I always talk about in terms of restaurants is consistency. I think that's what we love about the vodka, is that it's consistent. It's consistent in its pureness and that's how I tie it to restaurants. When I think of a good restaurant, it's where the food has been consistent; there's always a consistency.
I think it's important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else.
I guess the only thing to do now is meet his parents. I'm sure they're decent people. I mean they gotta be if they named their son Gaylord Focker.
Even I like to go to certain restaurants and places where you have to wear a jacket, a suit and a tie, and I like that sort of old world style. I am sure it will come back in many ways, if it hasn't already. It's kind of nice and it breaks it up.
As an actor who's starting out, you can't say, "Hey, I'm too good for this." You gotta do it, because people see you, your name gets around, and it has a cumulative effect.
You have to think about one shot. One shot is what it's all about. A deer's gotta be taken with one shot.
Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?
Running a casino is like robbing a bank with no cops around. For guys like me, Las Vegas washes away your sins. It's like a morality car wash.
The bottom line is if the movie does well, everybody is happy and they forget about what they went through. And if it doesn't, it's 'I told you.' There's one director who I won't mention, who said, 'it's all blood under the bridge.'
You always learn something about movies. Directing or acting, there's always something new. It's the technological thing; there's always something to learn.
Thank God for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk.
Somebody steals from me, I'm gonna say you stole. Not talk to him for spitting on the sidewalk. Understand?
Auditions are like a gamble. Most likely you won't get the part, but if you don't go, you'll never know if you could've got it.
Ok let me explain, if you were bitten by a mad infected dog, who will you blame? the dog or its owner? Definitely the owner, so, all the blame is on the USA Government’s shoulders for adopting and supporting a state like Israel
My definition of a good hotel is a place I'd stay at.
I can get around pretty easily. People don't expect to see me walking around.
I always wanted to direct. Directing is a lot more of a commitment though, a lot more time. I like directors who do very few takes, they know what they want.
Every set up that you do, everything is precisely modulated and raised and lowered.”
I don't remember what made me want to be an actor. In fact, I'm always curious.
In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing and to keep them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose, and in the end, we get it all.
Certain writers have it very precise and there's not much room to add something.
There are certain things I am clueless about as far as the new technologies. I see these people in front of these computers all day and I don't know what they are doing - they are doing something, obviously - with Facebook, Instagram and all that. I am aware of it, but basically not in touch.
As an actor, you use the things from yourself that you can apply to the character.
