Wearing a tuxedo isn't as simple as it sounds. I've been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. It's surprisingly easy to go off the rails.
I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies my name would be pretty low down on the list.
I've always wanted to work with Blair and finally the timing was right. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. I think he's a hugely underrated actor in Hollywood.
I try to respect the rules of the silent movies and I tried to make signification to make sense and also the crew were very good and the fact that we shot in LA in the real Hollywood studios and houses. We shot in the bed of Mary Pickford and you cannot be any more accurate than that so that helped a lot.
We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.
All the actors I respect especially old-Hollywood actors the reason I think so many of them have had long careers is that there is a sort of mystery about them. You don't know what they do on Friday nights when they go home from work. You have no clue. You have this sort of fantasy about them.
People don't talk about religion a lot in Hollywood because it's not an incredibly safe place to do it.
Then if your movie clicks with real audiences you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office.
I've seen it too many times in Hollywood. Talking about a relationship in public can jinx it. And if you have your picture taken together you might as well start packing your bags.
I've never really had a relationship with Hollywood. I've never had a desire to work there.
