I think we just knew that we had a movie when Rachel walked in the room. |
I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that. |
I tried to find something real in essentially something that's science fiction or something-for me, anyways-not having an experience like this. |
I try not to discriminate against genres. |
I try to play characters who are different from myself, so I feel like this character is someone who is really different. I actually think that if I did what he did in this movie, I would get a restraining order put against me. |
I wanted to play a character that had clarity and knew what they wanted; I felt the distilled difference between myself and the character. |
I worked building furniture for the film that was really used. I worked with a man named Walter Smith, and we worked together for like two months. |
I'm glad I have an outlet. I don't think I would put my aggression elsewhere, but working on the projects I have worked on, you tend to benefit personally from trying to wrap your head around the way other people look at the world. |
I've got some pretty big shoes to fill. But Martin called when he heard and offered any help he could give when it came to 'capturing' him. I'll be working on the inflections--which are more Aaron than Martin--but to have his blessing at this early stage is wonderful. |
I've learned it's important not to limit yourself. You can do whatever you really love to do, no matter what it is. |
If I eat a huge meal and I can get the girl to rub my belly, I think that's about as romantic as I can think of. |
If you do one good thing, that doesn't define you either. Being around the kids in the juvenile center, they were engaging, they made us laugh but they were there for doing something terrible. |
It was more important to me to understand what it's like to be this Jewish kid who felt he was so different at such a young age. I feel the story is about a kid who came to hate through love, so I felt I had to learn why he loved this thing so much that he also apparently hated it. |
Oh don't tell me I suck because I will quit. |
The Notebook ... You have to pay to see that. |
