gay establishment not-afraid
Obviously I'm not there to pick up anybody, but I'm not afraid to hang out in a predominantly gay establishment.
kids imagination trying
I was a wild, mischievous kid, and I had tremendous imagination. Any experience I had, I'd try to reenact it.
war safety film
War is chaotic and when you start having a larger scale film and you have a lot of safety protocols and choreography, I would imagine it becomes more difficult.
thinking people complicated
People think fame and money will bring you happiness. Fame actually makes life, especially human relationships, much more complicated.
thinking special-you avant-garde
What guides me is to do work that's more avant-garde - things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.
life-changing men winning
It's interesting, winning an Academy Award as a young man... life-changing, but I'm just me within that. It's been very helpful for my career, but I'm trying to stay on the path I was on before.
actors
I always had an actor within me.
trying pace sake
I try to pace myself and not work for the sake of working and stick to what inspired me prior to receiving recognition.
parent lines grew
I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that's kept me in line. Really in line.
would-be boring earnest
It would be terribly boring to be earnest.
mean issues village
Part of what attracted me to the village was it had a lot of parallels to contemporary issues. Like, fear and the way fear controls us. How the governing body of a town, or a nation, controls us through fear. They might mean well by it, but we are conditioned to be afraid of things. Fear of the unknown. Fear of terrorism. And it's unfortunate.
thinking attention doe
I think you have to be fair with one another. It's unfortunate when someone does something that's not authentic, or not there for any reason other than to draw attention.
