How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can't argue with them. That's their perception.

I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.

What led me to that was I have never - I mean, I watch movies and I don't care who is the protagonist. I feel what that guy is feeling. You know, if it's Tom Cruise leaping over a building - I want to make it, you know? And I'm going to - yes, I made it. And yeah, so I get that.

I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you.

I'm in show business. I believe in illusion and delusions and in holding aloft the bubble of a dream of some sort because, really, there are lots of reasons to look at the chasm. But art and music, these ineffables, they're just - they're the consolations of what human beings can create and make, and delight is accessible, you know, should you care to find it.

Some men can maintain cragginess and weary masculinity. Women just get old.
