Zitat des Tages von Bill Pullman:
Some of the shoes I have are from movies - I have my workman's boots from 'While You Were Sleeping' - while others are shoes I've had forever.
I really enjoyed doing Albee's 'The Goat.' It's a powerful piece and a really exciting play to do.
I do take lots of time off between projects, but when the right thing comes along, I don't like to turn it down, I've been doing this for a decade, and I remember what it was like when I started. You spend maybe five percent of your time actually doing it, and the rest of the time, you're trying to get that five percent.
I'm not a gardener. I don't have the consistency for gardening, and I have barely enough for an orchard. I don't embarrass myself. You have to be there tending and weeding. With orchards, you can go through negligent periods and recover.
Television tends to be a more difficult medium for me to get my head around sometimes when it comes to certain things I get offered.
There is a bearing which comes from having a little bit of something withheld. In acting classes, they always say don't reveal 100 percent: it's much more interesting.
I always feel like there's some behaviour that we're all capable - we have our inhibitions protecting from indulging in certain appetites or developing certain appetites.
Commercial movies have to end with moral flags flown again and all that.
Rural towns aren't always idyllic. It's easy to feel trapped and be aware of social hypocrisy.
My family and I are hooked on 'The Searchers.' I can't get enough of it.
I also turn down what's probably a good amount of coinage to be made out of playing dads, an incredible number of obnoxious dad.
Fox was interested in a different title to 'Independence Day.'
I was 21, and rehearsing a play, took a fall and was in a coma for a few days. And when I recovered, I'd lost my sense of smell completely.
I have never forgotten John Candy's generosity. He showed me how to be a gentle leader.
With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.
I co-own the ranch with my brother, and he and his wife are really the backbone of the operation.
I wake up as soon as it gets light.
There was an idea of accepting everyone; there was no sense of exclusion.
I was brought up in a very small town in upstate New York.
There's always a certain kind of homework you have to do when there's an accent involved.
There is something exciting when you see people who are very formal talking with each other, and there is a sense that they have chosen to be that way. There is something masked that is more interesting to me than just people who are intent on displaying their uniqueness or whatever.
Well, I can do certain jobs because smells don't bother me. But that means I'm usually the one at the ranch cleaning up all the manure.
A lot of people just ask me about how I can do small budgets and big budgets, but many actors do both. I think the more self-destructive impulse I have is doing so many different characters.
I don't have a favorite fruit. There are things that thrill me each turn of the season.
I'm often confused with other actors. But the people who know my work don't have that problem.
There's a point you get to on the stage where you're not remembering lines but living them, and you reach this pure moment which, really, is more intense than what you can achieve in life.
There's definitely a pattern of great British shows that get reinvented in America and do really well here, but I think 'Torchwood' is a bit different. It's more of a hybrid that doesn't exist as a reinvention.
Globalisation is happening so fast it's confusing for people, and tolerance is threatened.
The chaos of my life has a lot to do with my hair.
I have always been impressed by the fruit community. There is a Tao of fruit, which is generous. You share what you know, and you give what you can.
I like those crisis moments - if you're on top of it and don't get pulled under by panic and fear, it's a very bonding thing.
Truthfully, I almost avoided 'While You Were Sleeping,' because I find those romantic comedies kind of precious, and they're full of lines that leave you feeling a little bewildered when you say them.
Theater has always been most important to my psyche.
I did 'Malice,' 'Sommersby,' and 'Sleepless in Seattle,' and they're as disparate characters as I've ever played. But somehow, there was that thing - they were all second male leads, so they all didn't get the girl in some weird way.
I always loved asking everybody when I arrived in England, from the drivers who picked me up to the people at the hotel to people I met when I was walking in the park, almost everyone at some point would say, 'Everyone loves Ant & Dec!' From eight to 80.
I've been lucky to be a part of many blockbuster movies... in which it's hard to get to that level of being memorable, but I still have fond memories of 'Independence Day,' to be sure. There are also many small ones I've had that give me many fond memories.
