He was using me. When he cast me in Sideways I was nothing but a vessel.
From Thomas Haden Church
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.
I love knowing that I'm not better than any other person on the planet.
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.
I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.
I like to keep my private stuff pretty vague.
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.
To some extent I could identify with that because I kind of just made my money and got out.
I invested, and I protected myself, so I enjoy that freedom.
But at the same time, if the right thing came along, I would do it in a second.
