Quote
1 I like to try the scene over and over, but given the confines of television, I don’t have that option.
2 You put a movie star or a bunch of movie stars in a movie, it doesn’t mean people are gonna go see it. It’s been proven time and time again.
3 I’ve never directed anything before ‘Mad Men,’ so I don’t feel I have any advice for the other directors.
4 When I was growing up, the top movies dealt with grown-up, complex emotions.
5 I’ve done a lot of pilots. A lot of shows. You’re young and you do a job just because you know someone gave you a job.
6 And I don’t want to jump out of an airplane – I’ve done that.
7 I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It’s really risky.
8 Characters can become boring. That’s what’s tricky about television. It goes on and on – you’re playing this same character for five seasons and it gets easy to fall into just walking on the set and assuming you know how to play a scene.
9 I don’t have to worry about how my movies sell because I’m not the guy in front.
10 I think I gravitate towards people who express themselves in a simple and funny way.
11 I was a horrible limo driver: I ran out of gas with passengers in the back and I used to get lost on a regular basis.
12 Let’s face it, making movies is all risk. Most of the time, batting average-wise, the reward does not outweigh the risk.
13 I think the moments that are difficult for anybody are when you see what your life could be, if only you had the courage to take the steps needed.
14 My wife tells me I need to learn to be more patient with my son.
15 When I first started, I was kind of surprised that anyone would ever hire me at all. So I took everything that I was offered.
16 Memories are just stories we tell ourselves about our past; and that’s often why they don’t match when we’ve shared the same experiences with someone.
17 But the path you end up on means that you have to close a lot of doors, too.
18 Viewers can hate a character and at the same time can’t take their eyes off of him.
19 For some reason surfing… I’m not scared of the ocean so the risk doesn’t seem as great to me.
20 The rule of surfing is never tell anyone where you go.
