My agent was ambitious for me. But going out and chasing it? No, I'd rather work in my vegetable garden or play with my kid. I guess I'm kind of boring.
I like to think of myself as kind of a sculptor, only I sculpt people.
At this point in my career, Apollo 13 is a million light years away.
I am really a sea creature. Just a mammal that lost its fins.
I filmed underwater for two days in the open ocean with dolphins.
I didn't think I was an actor and fought it for a long time. Nobody paid for that but me.
I like to go to openings when I'm in it, or friends are in it.
It's just too egotistical to think that we are the only lifeform in the universe.
Some of the newer folks in the industry, I'm not sure they are familiar with the term acting. They don't understand what it means to play a character rather than just be a personality.
My dream job has already happened.
Some people are born gardeners, some are politicians. I was an actor. It took a great deal of pain before I figured that out. I didn't relate to most of it.
The heavy spacesuits are spectacular to look at but very hot. Putting one on was like going from chilly London winter weather to the Bahamas in just minutes.
