'The Assassination of Jesse James' remains one of my favorite films that I've done. You know, it's still labeled a loser.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's more interesting for me as an audience member to see a movie about a loser.
Well, one of my favorite ones to work on - besides just about any scene from 'Deadwood' - was my scene with Brad Pitt in 'Assassination of Jesse James'. That was just a fun day.
When I was filming 'The Outsiders,' my idea of success was getting the next Martin Scorsese movie.
I knew by heart all the dialogue of James Dean's films; I could watch Rebel Without a Cause a hundred times over.
Sometimes I've been more emotionally disturbed by the experience of shooting a comedy than a drama. After 'We're the Millers', I think playing this battered loser who's confidence was at zero for 90 percent of the movie, I did genuinely feel that way.
People feel the worst film I made was 'Jack.' But to this day, when I get checks from old movies I've made, 'Jack' is one of the biggest ones. No one knows that. If people hate the movie, they hate the movie. I just wanted to work with Robin Williams.
I may not have the gun that Jesse James had when he was gunned down, but if there's a piece identified with him and the same place, then I get interested; it's always excited me.
I love what I did in 'Death Sentence,' but that was a low budget action film.
'What Doesn't Kill You' is a really great movie that was little seen but, I think, is one of my personal favorites.
Working with David Lynch was like taking a bullet. A gun at you. 'Lost Highway' is, I think, one of the best films I've ever been in. It'll endure a long, long time.
