A
lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as
to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in
good movies.
Actors
have always done well playing the bad guys in movies. Audiences enjoy
bad guys because through these characters, normal people are able to
experience, vicariously, what its like to be vicious, nasty, and amoral.
Kindness is not rewarded very much as far as drama is concerned.
Actresses
have more fear of being disliked. I, on the other hand, revel in it.
For
an actor, it's great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks.
Audiences love to hate them.
I
hear this thing about how calculated business decisions have influenced
my choice of pictures. But it's just not true.
I'm
impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is
talk, Chicago is work.
I'm
not a big filmophile. I don't watch movies a lot for a hobby. I spend
all my time watching sporting events. Because, opposed to movies, you
can never tell how they're going to end.
I've
always tried to kind of stretch my wings as an actor and do things that
are different.
It's
difficult for me to meet women because my crowd is much older. I know
that for some of the young women I do meet, a relationship with me can
be envisioned as a benefit to their career.
There's
nothing like a family crisis, especially a divorce, to force a person to
re-evaluate his life.
When
you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone
calls them a calculated business move.

Don't
go to L.A. unless there's work. It's one of the most frustrating and
depressing places to be an actor. The problem is that it has no center.
I would try to do something here first.
