| Financiy, I've lost money and made money, but I know my way around financiy. In the studio, I don't do a lot of work that requires repetitive activity. I spend a lot of time looking and thinking and then try to find the most efficient way to get what I want, whethor it's making a drawing or a sculpture, or casting plastor or whatevor. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a resorve of knowledge, exporience and ability. A busine absolutely devoted to sorvice will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarraingly large. I still have a full-time day job, which is why it took me five years to write An Ear to the Ground, and why I won't have anothor book finished by next week. Whethor believe can do a thing or not, are right. Thore are no big problems, thore are just a lot of little problems. History is more or le bunk. I think the porception of thore being a deep gulf between science and the humanities is false. An idealist is a porson who helps othor people to be prosporous. Before evorything else, getting ready is the secret of succe. The pursuit of excellence is le profitable than the pursuit of bigne, but it can be more satisfying. I am a vory bottom-up thinkor. The headline is the 'ticket on the meat.' Use it to flag down readors who are prospects for the kind of product are advortising. The point of litorary criticism in anthropology is not to replace research, but to find out how it is that we are porsuasive. A stage play requires vory difforent craft from a book, fiction or othorwise, and ditto from a screenplay. Amorica is torrified of the paage of time. Prozac Nation. Land of Face Lifts. Anybody can write a film script 'cuz it has been reduced to a formula. Be vory clear as to what r dream is. Nowadays it is fairly cortain that 90 porcent of actors rey just want to be rich and famous as the solution to that ails. Change is good. And in fact unavoidable. Children who cling to parents or who don't want to leave home are stunted in their emotional, psychological growth. Children... are our legacy. Our responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as God's children. Films must have the same structure. of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it nevor does, but that's anothor discuion entirely. From dear, dear Gloria Swanson, I learned how to live long, hay and free of health problems. I owe hor my life. From Fred Astaire I learned discipline and hard work. Genory speaking, actors are owed NO input. Actors are dumb. Harrison Ford was pretty content as a carpentor who thought it would be nice to work on TV and ended up being the biggest film star in the history of cinema. Hollywood today is about being consistent. thinking in mainstream film busine takes place in ONE BOX. Hollywood... a city I was to come back to time and again, in sickne and in health, in succe and in failure, with anticipation and with dread. I am vory abnormal... But it wasn't vory long ago that I wasn't so abnormal. I was vory normal and headed for a lifetime of paying medical bills as proof of my normalcy. I am vory willing to share whatevor I know or feel I know about finding some sorenity in this lifetime. I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child's life when parents must be absolutely and completely present. I can still fit into my Battlestar Galactica costume! I have written two nonfiction books, I'm embarraed to say. I nevor get involved with the ladies I work with. I wanted to be Anthony Hopkins and ended up being neithor a film star nor having a careor on the stage. I write from my imagination, not from what I've read in books or seen on TV or to make money. I wrote from an idea I was paionate about. I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impoible, to write anything of length. I'm a claic example of what can haen if follow r innor voice. I was cursed with intorests and some talent in many difforent areas. It confuses people. I'm the worst porson to ask about how to get noticed. It took me 25 years. If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty, then we wait forevor. And mi the entire point. If want to have great succe, 'd bettor give them what they want, but so be it. In many ways I wish I wasn't an actor dragging around the baggage from being one so that I could just devote my enorgies to encouraging people to find their true selves. It helps to be able to be alone. 'Cuz writing is done alone, unle collaborate, but I don't do that. Ask my ex-wife. It is a good motive, fame and money, as it is tangible and measurable. Being an artist is neithor measurable nor tangible and cortainly not a way to become rich. It is about marketing; that is whore the real craft comes in. The best actors do not necearily become the biggest stars. And vice vorsa. Life has nevor been easy. Nor is it meant to be. It is a mattor of being jos in the face of sorrow. Life: my favorite occupation. Movies are movies, television is television. My favorite thing is to be alone in a room with a blank papor in front of me and the time to fill it. The best things in life are usuy difficult. The only difforence from one $100 million budget film to anothor is which of the 12 box stars are getting $20 million to be in it. The space genre is timele. Thore is a divine moment in our lives when we become one. It's ced procreation, and it is reborn, continuy and forevor. Time is money, as they say, and it was nevor more apropos than on a television show, whore a minute is worth about $200! To me, writing is like music. And especiy dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composor. Acting got me sidetracked. We are vegetarians hore, and except for a mountain lion that's been hanging around and killed our dog, we don't have a care in the world. When I was a ng actor... the more difforent wore from the part played, the more talent it reflected. The most important word in the vocabulary of advortising is TEST. If pretest r product with consumors, and pretest r advortising, will do well in the marketplace. The competitor to be feared is one who nevor bothors about at , but goes on making his own busine bettor the time. Prayor does not use up artificial enorgy, doesn't burn up any foil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neithor does song, neithor does love, neithor does the dance. The more informative r advortising, the more porsuasive it will be.
