| 1. | A film has its own life and takes its own time. |
|
| 2. | But I guess I like playing flawed guys 'cause it gives a place for the characters to go. |
|
| 3. | But I will say this: In my humble opinion, knowing nothing about it, I do believe that they have remote viewers working on where Osama Bin Laden is. I absolutely, 100%, convinced of that. |
|
| 4. | But if anybody's a man right now, it's Christopher Reeve, or Michael J. Fox. I have a lot of respect for those guys. |
|
| 5. | But then, even with sex, I'm more in the school of less is more in movies. |
|
| 6. | But when it comes to getting what they want, both sexes have very primal instincts. |
|
| 7. | Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad. |
|
| 8. | First of all, I love international espionage. |
|
| 9. | I always ask, why can't I be just like Cary Grant or something. |
|
| 10. | I can think of films that I'm producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter. |
|
| 11. | I don't do comedy so much although I would like to do a comedy. |
|
| 12. | I got as much information as I could, so I wouldn't look stupid, but this is a post 9/11 world and there's only so much you can do with the FBI in terms of research. |
|
| 13. | I like to watch those but I also like to watch humanistic films and films that are dealing with something important. |
|
| 14. | I mean, the problem is, I think I'm a great writer. |
|
| 15. | I often feel that my days in New York City, that I was here for five years, didn't get one job, went on a thousands of auditions and literally did not get a job on a soap, not a movie, not TV, not nothing, although I did do some commercials thank God. |
|
| 16. | I think America right now is looking for somebody who appeals to every faction. |
|
| 17. | I think every actor wants to be an FBI or cop at one point. |
|
| 18. | I think that maybe that's my weakness, in that I don't know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can. |
|
| 19. | I think they are very important because westerns have a code and a symbolism. |
|
| 20. | I think women can be as cruel as men, and men as tender as women, and vice versa. |
|
| 21. | I would like to direct. |
|
| 22. | I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before. |
|
| 23. | I'd like to do a romantic comedy. |
|
| 24. | I'd like to do more family dramas. |
|
| 25. | I'm an actor and it happened to go my way that day. |
|
| 26. | I'm just saying it was very weird that she would think I couldn't be different in real life from how I was onscreen. |
|
| 27. | I'm sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing. |
|
| 28. | I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship. |
|
| 29. | If it helps me in the way that if this movie is successful, I get to make more films, great, and the more films that I make and the more interest that I'm allowed to cover, the better for me and the better, hopefully, for the people who like to watch me. |
|
| 30. | If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton. |
|
| 31. | It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I've worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I've worked with... Sir Ben Kingsley. |
|
| 32. | It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll do whatever you have to do to get it. |
|
| 33. | Right now, I have to admit, that I'm more interested in giving people a little bit of hope and goodness. |
|
| 34. | Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically. |
|
| 35. | Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I'm not always happy with that. |
|
| 36. | The F.B.I. is about nuts and bolts. It's all about witnesses and procedure and walking the streets. |
|
| 37. | The problem with making larger movies, five or six months, is that whose got the energy to keep themselves in that place for so long? |
|
| 38. | There are certain steps you go through to prepare yourself to remote view. You can see the future. You can see the past. |
|
| 39. | There are different reasons to make movies. |
|
| 40. | Through all the relationship stuff I've gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures. |
|
| 41. | Well, I've thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don't know what I'd do. |
|
| 42. | When it gets down to it you just have to act. |
|
| 43. | Yeah, I'd like to get the girl and at least make it through the film. |
|
| 44. | Yeah, but there's nobody who represents romance to me like Cary Grant. |
|
| 45. | You never really know as an actor; it's completely out of your control, in terms of editing, and music, and film stock, shot selection, and what takes they use. |
