I feel more comfortable doing films with groups of guys. It's a lot easier for me. There's a difference with women: you can't take them to dinner every night and go crazy.
From Tom Berenger
I got to talking to an old actor, and he had a bunch of stories about the Rough Riders.
I guess if I weren't an actor, I'd be a history professor.
I have family obligations and all that stuff. I get my kids six weeks in the summer, which is a real intense period of time. I'm with them every minute of the day.
I like playing flawed characters, people who aren't perfect.
I remember seeing Bill Hurt in New York once. I talked to him on the phone around 1988 and that's about it. I was shooting in New York and somebody said Glenn Close came by the set.
I was kind of confused. I thought, Well, if I get drafted, I'll go. Everybody was very concerned with it. I had friends who went. Some that came back and some that didn't.
I was so exhausted after fighting for the project for five years, shooting it was like the Bataan Death March.
I wrote a script. I actually enjoyed writing it more than acting. It's about the Irish rebellion of 1920, which is a fascinating period and place for me.
I'm probably satisfied with my career 80 percent of the time.
