My Heart Goes Out To The People

I Usually Play Characters That Are A Lot Different Than Me. I Mean, I'm Never In A Fight In A Movie And If I'm In Them, I'm Usually Losing.

Most Films And Directors Lose Their Nerve And Want To Indicate [emotions] A Bit More, To Show That Their Story Is Clear. I'm Not Saying That's A Good Thing; As An Actor Its Anathema To Good Acting, But To Have Someone With The Confidence To Say That Should I Be Utterly Natural And Minimalist Is Great.

Clint Eastwood Enables And Allows Things To Happen. You Walk On Some Sets And It's Like Walking Into An Emergency Room. It's Like, "come On Guys, We're Just Making A Movie Here." That Tension Runs Into The Performances And Into The Movie.

The Very First Big Photo Shoot I Ever Did Was With Bruce Weber. I Couldn't Believe This Guy Was Taking My Picture, So When He Told Me To Get In The Bathtub, I Just Did. It's Only Now, Looking Back, That I Realise, You Don't Have To Do Everything People Tell You.

The Director's In Charge Of Every Single Decision [in Film]. It's A Dictatorship.it's A Benevolent Dictatorship, But It's True. It's Every Single Shot. There's Nothing Arbitrary.
