Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
I've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral it didn't take off.
Listen there are some movies that are set in stone and the writer or the director does not want to change but I've never worked on a movie including my own that didn't take advantage of a rehearsal process.
By the way movies are like sporting events in that you're as good as the movie you're in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token you can do five movies a year and if they're dreck it's nothing.
I've always been in the middle of making my own movies so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.
I cast unusual people in my movies.
I like movies about failing.
If we had 3 million exhibitionists and only one voyeur nobody could make any money.
I had a very wise person tell me that he thinks marriage when you're younger you keep thinking you can fix things. That's what people do. And you can't really fix anything. It shouldn't be a massive difficult thing every day. Life's difficult enough.
I can't not put humor in a book.
What's interesting about books that take place in the future even twenty years in the future is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future just like there is now.
Twitter to me works if you're funny. Twitter doesn't work as a promotional tool unless you do it very very very occasionally.
I've been to many funerals of funny people and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have because the emotions run high.
