If a movie goes south, it might not capsize me the way it used to. But I still have a terrible fear of failure. I'm a huge worrier.

I saw Ben Stiller's movie Walter Mitty [2013]; it's very beautiful. You look at some of the movies John Ford did with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, and then look at Remington and Ansel Adams, and I think you see a connection, certainly in the imagery of the West.

I think the way it works is that when you're casting a movie, you usually want to work with people that you believe in.

It's not enough just to be real; you have to try to make it interesting or entertaining.

I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.

You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they're the cool seniors.

Acting is more fun than writing. Writing is harder, more like having a term paper.
