When You Have To Cope

Even In My Dreams, I’m An Idiot Who Knows He’s About To Wake Up To Reality.

When I Work, I'm The Actor. I'm Going To Do My Job. I'm Not Going To Direct The Movie. If I Wanted To Direct It, I Would Direct It. I Wanted J.j. Abrams To Direct Mission: Impossible. I Work With People That I Respect. I Expect Them To Do Their Jobs, And I Will Do Mine. And I Am There As A Producer To Help In Any Way, But No One Makes A Movie By Themselves. It's A Collaboration.

What I Find Sometimes That Is Tricky Is If Actors Are Using Too Much Of Their Own Life In A Picture, In A Scene, They Get Locked Into A Particular Way To Play The Scene, And It Lacks An Immediacy.

I Remember Looking At My Dad And Wanting To Understand Him. I Didn't Want To Just Write The Guy Off. He Was Lost. I Can't Speak Specifically In Terms Of Why And How He Got To Where He Was - That Was His Journey. All I Can Tell You Is, He Was Overwhelmed By Life... My Mother Basically Did All The Work, And Then They Got Separated And I Didn't See Him For A Long Time. He Didn't Try To Help The Family Financially Or Spiritually, And I Lived With The Effects Of The Chaos.

When You Talk About Emotional, Chemical Imbalances In People, There Is No Science Behind That.
