France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster. |
Grilling Tim on the set was how I prepared for the part of Victor, ... I feel lucky that these parts arrived in front of me. |
He deserves to be loved, there's a kind of purity to Ed Wood, which, in terms of intent, is not dissimilar to Tim. |
He had watched the film for the first time that night and said it was brilliant. |
He's a true original in a business that doesn't put much stock in originality. And he doesn't compromise. That's what makes his movies so good. That's what makes him someone that you'll drop everything to work with, |
He's constantly threatening to bring it back to life, resuscitate it, |
His sort of interests, which are more than slightly off center, and a little outside, his interpretation of them does appeal to the masses, which ultimately I think is a very good sign. |
How 'bout we make it three shillings and we forget the name. |
Hunter meant a lot to me. He was another hero and someone that I got to know very well because I played him in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' We got very, very close, |
I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it. It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful. |
I clicked with the character and I really know the guy. It was very, very difficult for me at the end of the first film, |
I did feel a deep sense of responsibility to the author's intent of what he may have wanted the character to be like and to live like. |
I don't want to be stuck in one spot, |
I don't want to be stuck in one spot. My childhood was spent moving around. We were total nomads. Like gypsies, just moving from one place to another all the time. That's kind of ingrained into my psyche, into my being. I couldn't stand being in one spot for too long. |
I feel a very strong connection to Tim and I trust him completely. Because for an actor, it's amazing to be invited into his world and to be given the responsibility of being on the ride to deliver his vision. For an audience member, it's an unbelievable gift to be invited into his world. |
