To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.
As an actor, the minute you start getting real in interviews, you lose mystery.
Every actor chooses their story at the beginning.
And if you're a golfer and you watch a golf film and Matt Damon swing, and it's not great, then you're not going to believe in the golf story, you're not going to believe in the rest of the film. That's the whole movie, so if that swing looks like crap, the movie's crap.
You have to be a master to teach.
There's a form of selling out. It's necessary. You have to become edible for people in Texas. You have to become edible for the Christian right, for mass audiences.
