Fashion is chaotic, and it can be an aggravation, too, but it is at its best when it allows you to express yourself.
I love to watch good actors who surprise and amuse me.
I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid.
I'll never be the biggest kind of star; I'll be like Bob Duvall, respected as an actor but a lot of people can't identify the face. I don't have the personality of a big star, or the looks of a Mel Gibson or a Paul Newman, or the style of a George C. Scott.
I'm not a Method actor. I don't believe acting should be psychodrama. I look within myself and see what I can find to play the role with. If I'm playing a blind man, I don't go around blindfolded for days. A lot of good actors would, but I don't go in for that very much. I like to just make it up as I go along.
I just start with a pencil and paper. I don't want something too trendy, too fashion-forward. I don't want to make something I consider a regular person couldn't wear with blue jeans. But I don't want to make something that other people make, either - like a skinny black suit in a shiny material that you can buy anywhere.
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium. I thought it was necessary to update the figure of the bohemian, but not in the traditional way.
I have driven school buses, sold egg rolls and painted houses, and I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't gone into acting. Mind you, it's a great life, going around pretending you're other people and getting paid ridiculous sums of money for it.
I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently.
Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.
If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education.
It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.
Most filmmakers' entire body of knowledge is of other movies. When they describe things, they describe them in relation to other movies. That's why we have so many cyclical movies that look like other movies. But I'm not cynical. I even go to some of those movies.
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
Theater is so ephemeral, and I love that.
The most evocative thing to me is probably when a writer and a group of performers can collectively put together something compelling that asks the really simple question: 'How do we live?'
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
When you think of how history is revealed, we know certain things to be facts at certain periods of time, which turn out not to be so factual as time marches on.
I was never a fanatical movie person.
