Zitat des Tages von Kevin Bacon:
'Kung Fury!' I mean, Jesus, that thing is amazing.
I'm obsessed with zombies. I like watching zombie movies and I read zombie books.
I try to show compassion to people I come into contact with and try to put good out, as much good as I can. But that's my life; that's not my work. With my work, my job is to walk in another man's shoes.
'Gogglebox' is a show where you watch people watch television.
My brother is the lifelong musician; he made the choice to do that when we were very, very young kids. I remember him playing in bands and listening to the music he was writing in the house - he's nine years older than me.
The whole industry is changing because so many people watch things on DVR, and they watch things on other platforms, and I think everybody is kind of scratching their heads about how this is going to play out.
I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.
Before Footloose, the things I'd done weren't cute. In Diner I was an alcoholic.
If I'm in a situation where someone doesn't recognize me and treats me like everyone else, I'm not used to it.
The business that people do in LA on the social level is amazing. You go to a restaurant, bump into this guy or that guy. The next day you get a call, and they want you in their movie.
Some people have therapy, some people are alcoholics or they're in AA. Some people jump out of planes on weekends or find ways to release this kind of thing. And for me, it's acting. I find acting very therapeutic for whatever it is.
I would say invisibility would be sort of a fun power to have just to see what it was like to move through the world and not be looked at.
I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.
I think of being an actor as kind of a young man's gig. It's emasculating, in a way, people messing with you and putting make-up on you and telling you when to wake up and when to go to sleep, holding your hand to cross the street. I can do it up to a certain point, and then I start to feel like a puppet.
I always wanted, and still aspire, to be something more than just one thing, just one performance.
I always have a suitcase ready to go. My wife and I are both very much like this. We're both vagabonds, and we have been since the time we were married.
I wanted to do something heroic if I was going to be on TV. And the first thing that appeals to me once I have decided I don't want to be the bad guy is to find things that are not black and white.
There are some actor secrets you keep sometimes, and you want to keep.
I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views.
My kids don't watch my movies. What I want to do is go home and hug my kids, talk to them and engage with them.
Things could be worse. You remember that, and you go on with your life.
I have a natural swagger.
I'm new to this TV thing, at least as an actor. It's a challenge. The thing I have to adjust to is the changing directors every week. That's new for me. I tend to establish with a director - and then two days later, he's gone.
A good director creates an environment, which gives the actor the encouragement to fly.
I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor, the challenge of tapping into that, reaching down into that sadness or anger, is very therapeutic.
I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through.
There's the most resistance to an actor singing. It's like I'm being disloyal to my industry.
Keep doing what you're doing. Don't be afraid of fame.
Clint Eastwood has always been a hero.
I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.
I don't want to stop acting, but acting in some ways is a young man's game.
I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.
I like to play characters, man. I almost don't even think of them as good guys or bad guys. I know that's a hard thing to realize, but I really just think of them as characters.
There's this American dream to put enough away that you can golf and build a birdhouse or just be in a Barcalounger watching football all day. I'll never be that guy. And I'm not really sure the people who have that are all that happy. Our desires as a man are to work, plow ahead, and overcome conflict.
I'm always happier and a better actor when I can really lose myself in a character and become somebody else.
