It's one of those scenarios where no, I never imagined that I'd be directed in a love scene - not even a love scene because it's kind of a hard-core sex scene because it's kind of just purely played for this carnal venting.

As an actor I kind of do. I started out doing voice overs in the mid 80s when I was in grad school.

I'm not so proud to think that anything is unworthy, and I don't think I was that way 10 years ago.

Children from like 8 and even up to the college age - Spider-Man appeals to a fairly broad demographic but, like I said, a mean age probably of 12 is a good mark - they process information so quickly and it's not because of attention deficit or short attention span.

But at the same time, if the right thing came along, I would do it in a second.

But I think once the word gets out that the movie is funny - funny is transcendent - it will traverse all demographic barriers if people embrace it as a funny movie.

When I moved to L.A. in 1989, the very first thing I did was this horrific pilot called To Protect And Surf.

But I'm a citizen of Texas and try to spend most of my time there.

I enjoy doing press for something that I like, and I think the movie is very fun and charming and clever.

Cary and I are working together on another movie, Charlotte's Web.

Last summer when we were preparing for the movie, I actually kind of wanted to stay fairly uninformed about it. As we went through the process that we do in the movie, I wanted to be a little wide-eyed.

I invested, and I protected myself, so I enjoy that freedom.

I believe in singularity in relationships because you've got to have trust on both sides.

Their lives have been largely defined by failure and you would think the prospect of marriage, which is supposed to be bountiful and hopeful, it's just really another kind of tangential thing in his life.

And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.

I would say 95% of the time, because you just can't remember your lines if you're drinking alcohol. I would say about 95% of the time it was grape juice or this fake wine, which was horrible.

I made a comfortable living for several years. I invested, and I protected myself, so I enjoy that freedom.

But all actors go through the process, it's hit and miss, you have achievement and failure.

He was using me. When he cast me in Sideways I was nothing but a vessel.

But to this day I am convinced that the real reason we met was because Alexander is from Nebraska, and he was completely fascinated that I was about to go off and make a movie with Brando - perhaps the most famous Nebraskan of all.

I kind of have a rededication in my life now to acting because I'm very fond of being in this movie.

But I certainly know a lot of people that existed at that level and are always kind of pining for more, always thinking that the next big break, the next opportunity, the big role are just around the corner of the next audition.

I love knowing that I'm not better than any other person on the planet.

I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.

Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I'm feeling pretty humbled these days.

To some extent I could identify with that because I kind of just made my money and got out.

I love going to the feed store and drinking coffee and talking about how much rain we need.

It's one of those scenarios where no, I never imagined that I'd be directed in a love scene - not even a love scene because it's kind of a hard-core sex scene because it's kind of just purely played for this carnal venting.

I like to keep my private stuff pretty vague.

I did a series called Ned and Stacey for two years for Fox back in the 90s. I was writer on it as well as a producer, and it was very important to me that there were no contemporary references.

The title of the movie is open to interpretation.

But all actors go through the process, it's hit and miss, you have achievement and failure.

Sight is about what lies right in front of us. Vision is what lies ahead.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
