Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.

Basically, one of the hardest things about being an actor is getting your first break. I'm a product of nepotism. The doors were open to me. I'd done several movies before I decided what I wanted to do.

That's one of the cool things about fame. You have an affect on society and where it goes.

You know, I thought we could use a good myth about technology to help guide us through these particular modern waters right now.

Making films is sort of like you're pulling off a magic trick. It's sort of like an illusion. It's not real but you want it to appear real, and all kinds of things go into that, from the clothes you're wearing to the make-up, to the light.

Life's picking up speed.

I was loving music, and loving art, painting, so I was considering those things, but I must say I dug acting as well.
