Just a couple of minutes ago, I signed a couple of bowling pins for some people. That's a normal thing. Somebody will hand me something and say, 'Draw a picture! Draw the Dude!' They're probably selling them on eBay or something.
It gives me more breadth as an actor and as an artist to not be pigeonholed.
Nowadays it seems more and more like the 'business' in 'show business' is underlined, and there are campaigns, and it's all part of getting people in to see the movies.
The Widelux is a fickle mistress; its viewfinder isn't accurate, and there's no manual focus, so it has an arbitrariness to it, a capricious quality. I like that.
It's a wonderful metaphor, catching a wave, for how you can look at other challenges in your life.
I like to think of myself as a character actor, though there's some redundancy in that.
If you're like me, I get hooked into to-do lists, you know. I'll say I checked that off. Okay, I did that. And you have all these things you're doing.
I'm not counting any chickens.
Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.
I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop.
I'm very much into the costuming of any character that I portray and it's one of the great things about making movies is it's a collaborative art form so you get all these artists who are looking specifically about for this instance your character's costume and what that might tell about your character.
I haven't been to Comic-Con.
I've done several commercials and I've done voiceovers for documentaries.
We love things that are convenient.
So many things have to come together to get a creatively successful and financially successful film. Sometimes you'll have a movie that you're very proud of, and you think it transcended all of your expectations, but it doesn't come out at the right time. I have done movies that have never been released. That can be depressing.
Most cynics are really crushed romantics: they've been hurt, they're sensitive, and their cynicism is a shell that's protecting this tiny, dear part in them that's still alive.
Making movies is about creating illusions, and they can be subtle illusions, but it's all a cumulative effect as you make these little tweaks. It kinda adds up to something, hopefully.
What are the aspects of yourself that line up with the character? You magnify those, and the ones that don't match up you kind of kick to the curb.
I am a product of nepotism. I don't think I would have had the profession that I'm in currently... if it wasn't for my dad.
When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.
