[on winning the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in,American Beauty (1999) )] This has definitely been the highlight,of my day.
[on American Beauty (1999) ] I read the screenplay and nearly fell,out of bed. I thought I better meet him quick before someone else read,it.
The less you know about me, the easier it is to convince you that I am,that character on screen. It allows an audience to come into a movie,theatre and believe I am that person.
Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the,houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.
The movies are not my first priority--the theater is.
[on Albino Alligator (1996) ] Directing a film was something I was,yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a,good storyteller.
Sometimes the person who is the most logical is the person whom we call,insane.
[on Horrible Bosses 2 (2014) ] I think it is a little bit crazier.
I am one of these actors where I believe very strongly that if you want,to get a part, you have to do anything within reason to get that part.
We gotta be willing to let it hurt. You know, all this notion that acting is “yeah it’s pretend” and yes we enjoy it and yeah we can have a good time with it.
