Sometimes I Think Of Movie Acting As

Memories Are Not Just About The Past. They Determine Our Future.

There's Lots Of Good Movies Where You Feel That The Dialogue Could Be Improvised, But Very Little Was. The "big Lebowski" Was Like That Where People Say "oh, You Know, That Sounds So..." And We'd Always Go Back And Get Every Man, Every Ellipses In There The Way These Guys Write It.

She Was This Incredible Mom. With Each Of Her Kids, She Did Something Called `time,' Where She Would Spend An Hour Each Day Doing Whatever The Kid Wanted To Do, Whether It Was Play Spacemen Or `let's Go Into Your Makeup, And I'll Make You Up Like A Clown.' And As A Teenager You'd Be Like, `rub Me, Mom. Give Me A Massage.'

Like That Miles Davis Line, "don't Worry About Mistakes, There Aren't Any." Once You Are The Part, You're The Guy, So You Can't Not Be The Guy Because You're It.
