Film Has Lost Something In The Translation

I Think I've Become More Relaxed Throughout My Career. I Don't Feel The Need To Jump Up And Down And Make A Big Noise To Get People To Pay Attention To Me. I Don't Need To Do Punk Rock Gestures Or Eat A Cockroach Or Do Something Weird To Say I Exist.

I Think On Some Level, All Of Us Have A Little Bit Of Belief In The Possibility Of Different Energies And Forces And Things Like That. Otherwise, We Wouldn't Be Afraid Of Them. Or There Wouldn't Be So Many Movies About Them.

My Direction As A Person Working In Film Has Been To Never Get Comfortable With Anything I Was Doing. At The Time That I Decided To Do Action Films, People Were Telling Me, "well, You Can't Do It. You're Not That Type. It's Not Going To Work." And So Obviously That Made Me Think, "well, That's Not Comfortable. Maybe I Should Try It. What Can I Do With It?" So I Did That, And I'm Glad I Did It. I'll Probably Do It Again, And I Did Other Kinds Of Things That Seemed Like Challenges For Me, Because I Like Being On The High Wire.

Well, Good Science Fiction Is Intelligent. It Asks Big Questions That Are On People's Minds. It's Not Impossible. It Has Some Sort Of Root In The Abstract. So Automatically You're Getting Closer To Potentially Divine Sources Of Interest Because It Is Abstract. It's One Of The Only Ways That A Film Actor Can Express Himself In The Abstract And Have Audiences Still Go Along For The Ride. They Don't Contend It. They Accept It, That They're Going To Go Places That Are A Bit More Of The Imagination, A Bit More Out There, And That's More And More Where I Like To Dance.

I'm Always Fearful Of Something Happening To People I Love. That Doesn't Go Away.
