About Aaron Eckhart: Aaron Edward Eckhart is an American film and stage actor.
I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.
I'd like to do more family dramas.
Right now, I have to admit, that I'm more interested in giving people a little bit of hope and goodness.
If it helps me in the way that if this movie is successful, I get to make more films, great, and the more films that I make and the more interest that I'm allowed to cover, the better for me and the better, hopefully, for the people who like to watch...
I mean, the problem is, I think I'm a great writer.
I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.
Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.
It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I've worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I've worked with... Sir Ben Kingsley.
I often feel that my days in New York City, that I was here for five years, didn't get one job, went on a thousands of auditions and literally did not get a job on a soap, not a movie, not TV, not nothing, although I did do some commercials thank God...
A film has its own life and takes its own time.
I'd like to do a romantic comedy.
Yeah, but there's nobody who represents romance to me like Cary Grant.
You never really know as an actor; it's completely out of your control, in terms of editing, and music, and film stock, shot selection, and what takes they use.
I think women can be as cruel as men, and men as tender as women, and vice versa.
Through all the relationship stuff I've gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures.
Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I'm not always happy with that.
There are different reasons to make movies.
Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.
But then, even with sex, I'm more in the school of less is more in movies.
I think every actor wants to be an FBI or cop at one point.
