And I had a great time making Reloaded and Revolutions. It's great that people are coming out to see the films and I hope they enjoy them.
And of course to work with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, and work with a wonderful, beautiful script directed by Nancy Meyers, it was really for me a dream come true.
Basically it starts with four months of training, just basic stretching, kicking and punching. Then you come to the choreography and getting ready to put the dance together.
Because we're actors we can pretend and fake it, but I'd rather the intimate investment was authentic.
Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.
Grief changes shape, but it never ends.
Here comes 40. I'm feeling my age and I've ordered the Ferrari. I'm going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.
I am not handsome or sexy. Of course, it's not like I am hopeless.
I believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.
I just felt that if I went into Speed 2, I just... wouldn't have come up out of the water.
I love doing supporting roles, different genres, different scales of moviemaking.
I loved the material when I first read it, and the experience of making the film was a great one. So when we came around to complete the trilogy, I just signed on board without even reading the scripts because the experience of the first film was so good.
I mean, if you didn't get it or if you didn't feel like you enjoyed it, sometimes that experience can change.
I try not to think about my life. I have no life. I need therapy.
I'm a meathead. I can't help it, man. You've got smart people and you've got dumb people.
I'm a meathead. I can't help it, man. You've got smart people and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb.
I'm Mickey Mouse. They don't know who's inside the suit.
I'm sorry my existence is not very noble or sublime.
I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.
I've been really fortunate to be able to do different kinds of films in different scales, different genres, different kinds of roles, and that is important to me.
It took a lot of training, the usual four or five months before and then the usual training while shooting. I would have a fight, do some acting, and then choreography would come in and then train with the actors. It's demanding, but it's also one of my favorite parts of the piece.
It's fun to be hopelessly in love. It's dangerous, but it's fun.
It's the journey of self, I guess. You start with this kind of loner, outside guy, which a lot of people can relate to, and he goes out into the world.
Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.
On a good night, I get underwear, bras, and hotel-room keys thrown onstage... You start to think that you're Tom Jones.
People were saying that David Geffen and I had gotten married and it just blew me away. Not that they thought I was gay, but that they thought I could land a guy that hot.
Sometimes when you make a film you can go away for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a much deeper chord. I don't have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective.
The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.
The truth is often terrifying, which I think is one of the motifs of Larry and Andrew's cinema. The cost of knowledge is an important theme. In the second and third films, they explore the consequences of Neo's choice to know the truth. It's a beautiful, beautiful story.
The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.
When I don't feel free and can't do what I want I just react. I go against it.
When the people you love are gone, you're alone.
You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it's been something I've been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it's something I hope to continue because it's interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.
