care good late movies parents start watching
When you're young, you don't care about your parents and what they're doing. But then you get to your 20s, and you start watching their movies. And then you become an actor, as I did late in college, and then you're really watching them. And they were really very good.
amazing experience rich shakespeare watch work
Shakespeare is rich and beautiful, and it can be an amazing experience to read and to watch and to work on.
bigger smaller
I still try out for the bigger films, because they don't know me usually. But to the smaller films, no, they usually know me.
time worked
I worked with Lukas Haas a long time ago, when he was younger, and he was wonderful.
artists born drawn material question stage start
I got my start on the stage and there's no question that I keep getting drawn back to material and artists born there.
career
I don't have a career plan. As I get older, different things become important to me. And frankly, I'm a dad, so it's like how long is it? Where is it?
entire people quite
I hate to tell you this, but there's an entire subset of people out there who think of me as quite a dull actor. And that's the word used, and often - dull.
feature learned process since sure work
Since I was from the theater, that's how I learned how to go through the process of being a character. That's how I learned, and that's what I was comfortable doing. And then, the first feature films, I'm sure I was no fun because I did not want to be spontaneous in that filmic way that really can work for you.
believe gonna
The fact is that you're never gonna believe any of the reviews, because the movie is to you what it is to you. No one's ever gonna sway you from what you feel about it.
allow audiences bad both directors movies people
Movies, I don't really get the bad guys. In theater, I get more bad guys. Both audiences and directors are more willing... to allow people to stretch. In movies, you do one thing, and then that's their reference.
opportunity guy trying
I'm known as a kind of dramatic, serious, almost humorless actor and the fact is, I'm a funny guy, and I spend most of my life trying to find a lighter side of things, and on stage was given plenty of opportunity to do that.
editing somewhere-else actors
In the editing room, 20 percent of the time you're using stuff from before the actor knew the camera was rolling or you're taking a line from somewhere else and putting it in his mouth.
new-york simple thinking
I only made two studio movies, that was a long time ago and obviously I removed myself. I think some of that is geographical. I live in New York and I want to work there, it's as simple as that.
enforcement littles needs
I make little movies, you know, they need all the help that they can get.
