That’s one of the cool things about fame. You have an affect on society and where it goes.
I have a cycle that is not particularly cool, but it’s a cycle: trash myself to reward myself.
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life. I really had a cool foundation.
The more space and emptiness you can create in yourself, then you can let the rest of the world come in and fill you up.
Whenever you’re the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that.
My brother’s my teacher, my mentor, and we both learnt all the acting basics from our father.
Eating ice cream and not exercising is great. The downside is your health isn’t so good.
My photography is mainly focused on my work making movies, which I’ve done my whole life. I think I have a perspective that not many people have. And I get to take advantage of all of the strange sources of light on a set.
Basically, one of the hardest things about being an actor is getting your first break. I’m a product of nepotism. The doors were open to me. I’d done several movies before I decided what I wanted to do.
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.
I love John Irving’s stuff. It’s that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It’s really terrific.
I don’t know how it is for women or for other guys, but when I was young and in my 20s, I had a fear of marriage.
In a marriage, every fight is the same fight, over and over again, in different forms.
Normally, I love to go to the movies and when I see a character portrayed by different actors at different ages, it kind of pops a little bit for me. It brings me out of the movie experience. Now we have the technology to cure that.
You know, I thought we could use a good myth about technology to help guide us through these particular modern waters right now.
I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.
When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.
If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don’t think you get the richness that’s available in a long-term relationship.
When I’m working, I’m very purposeful and everything else gets out of focus. Something I’ve had to work on together with my wife is how to acknowledge each other in the midst of this and keep the relationship going.
I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.
The way to change the world is through individual responsibility and taking local action in your own community.
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.
Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that.
