I know what I like in other actors: truth. That's the best. It makes you say 'OK I'll go with you on this.'
I think Hollywood has a class system. The actors are like the inmates but the truth is they're running the asylum.
The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas and like those holidays beyond their meaning a factor in our economy.
Trust is a big word for me. Loyalty and trust for me are everything. It's the core of what I'm about and what the people around me hopefully are about. It's a certain thing that gives you a sense of security. It's the biggest factor in everything I do.
Your crew becomes your family and you trust the director and the other actors on the set and it's a very safe place.
David was the kind of guy who was totally supportive of the actors and instructed the writing staff to trust the actor's instincts since after all it's the actors playing the character.
When I think it's good not to say the truth I don't say anything. I don't like actors in general they lie they are liars trust me.
I worked with creative people who were very demanding of me and they helped me reach performances that I never could have gotten on my own without being pushed and having trust in them. And so I know the best way to get the best performance of an actor and that's not to coddle them or to baby them. It's to help them it's to push them.
I find I like to work with a lot of the same actors because I find that there's sort of shorthand there and there is this unspoken trust both ways. They trust me and I trust them. And I know what I'm going to get from them to an extent. It's just fun kind of creating this little family.
When you are a character actor they trust you will go in and give them a full character and leave.
So we really need jobs now. We have to take jobs away from other countries because other countries are taking our jobs. There is practically not a country that does business with the United States that isn't making - let's call it a very big profit. I mean China is going to make $300 billion on us at least this year.
