I prefer to have playback, but sometimes, you can't have that under most circumstances. First, it is expensive because you need a playback operator and secondly, it threatens a lot of directors. I only watch my performance. I see what is necessary for me so that I can see it right at the moment and I can fix it. That appeals to me a great deal.

I play an 89-year-old man whose wife has Alzheimer's in a movie called 'Still.' I play a World War II veteran, I acted with my son and it's called 'Memorial Day.'

Studios are run by those who are way too old or mostly young, who don't think creatively.

You don't just one day say, 'That's it, I'm doing this, I'm going to throw all my shoes out and I'm not eating honey and I won't drive my car because there are animal bones in the tires' because you'd drive yourself around the bend.

If a kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming, they would never touch meat again.

As a character actor, I've learned that you have to watch yourself because nobody else is watching. Nobody is concerned with you.

Anybody can call me Jamie, and you have to watch it when you call me James. Then there's going to be a problem.
