Am I really cool? You're telling me I'm cool? Well, that's good to hear. |
He's clearly got a temper on him. When we met, the first thing he said to me was, 'I'm an irascible guy' - and he clearly can be - but he was great to work with. I never saw him show his temper because most of the time I was working with him he was getting to hit somebody else in the story. |
Honestly, I never wanted to be more than a good supporting actor. Really, I enjoy it. |
I can't imagine a greater honor than being acknowledged by my peers. |
I can't imagine a greater honor than being acknowledged by my peers. Being an actor is a hell of a thing. It's a hell of a thing. It's up and down. It's great, but I found the best thing about it is hanging around the craft-service table with other actors and crew people, eating doughnuts. |

People say he's an intimidating guy and stuff like that. I suppose he is, but it's his talent that makes him intimidating more than anything else. |
The Brothers Grimm. |
The most surprising thing about it is I thought he's going to walk in and it's going to be like these stories you always hear about De Niro where he does 45 takes of walking through a door, |
This whole business feels kind of intense, like a bad fit. Round peg, square hole. But whatever, I'll take it. |
Well, you know, when people say stuff about you, it's always really flattering. But does it mean anything to me? It's not really real to me; there's no reality to it. |
You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something. |
You start to really lose perspective on the movie when the critical response is as weirdly, regressively unanimous as it is. |
