03 / belief
“I think if I were to go back that far, I probably would’ve found a way to not have been as concerned about revealing my sexuality and hiding that for as long as I did.”

“You’re learning, you’re growing, you’re trying, and there is an incredible trust that happens. And I was, of course, fortunate that some of the things I learned and observed about being a part of that family, being included in that family, and being a part of creating that family, I was able to observe from people like Jack Lemmon, who led many companies that I was fortunate to work in and be a part of.”

“We got into a different thing in the late ’50s and ’60s, and a lot of actors are feeling it, which I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s just that if you want to keep an audience engaged, as Fincher does, and I believe successfully does in all of his work, pace, timing, movement, clarity, speed, are admirable to achieve.”

“I think because Fincher hates indulgence, and he wants people to talk the way they do in life, which is we don’t take big dramatic pauses before we speak.”

“I tend to think, that there’s something about that quality of wanting to have people enjoy themselves. And when you saddle that against what maybe he means as an actor, which is more dramatic, or more text-driven more … look, I’ve always believed that my job, not every actor feels this way, but my job, the way that I’ve looked at it, is that my job is to serve the writing, and that if I serve the writing, I will in a sense serve myself, because I’ll be in the right world, I’ll be in the right context, I’ll be in the right style.”
