When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.
It's fun coming in as the second or third lead. If the movie or TV show bombs, you aren't to blame.
Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.
This movie is a toupee made up to look like honest baldness.
I shot a movie with Nicole Kidman that I got cut out of - it was crap anyways.
