From Now On We Live In A

If I Have No Connection With The Character, Then It's All Fake - It's Just Blah, Blah, Blah.

I've Made Quite A Number Of Movies Like Castaway And A Few Others Where I'm The Only Guy In The Movie And The Only Place To Be Is Right Next To The Camera In Costume Ready To Go In Order To Get It. The Years, And More Specifically Probably The Four Months Prior To Beginning Shooting, Is Where The Big Preparation Is That The Director Does Because I Knew We Were Going To Get On The Set. And The Good News Is, If You're The Boss, If It Ain't Good, You Don't Use It. You Just Cut It Out.

There Was Nothing To React To Except Wind And Trees [in Cast Away]. It Was Like Making A Silent Movie.

Reading A Script Is Usually As Exciting As Reading A Boilerplate Legal Document, So When You Read One That Makes You Feel As If You're Seeing The Movie, You Know It's Something Different.

Human Beings Do Things For A Reason, Even If Sometimes It's The Wrong Reason.
