When I saw that show Lost I learned something. Other than one sort of big dude if you’re in an airplane crash only models survive. So you know sit next to somebody pretty, but anyhow Picture Quote #1

I don’t like movies that are shot on green screen much, you know. I mean, I know that’s the thing to do, and I know that it’s getting.

Heavy role in the movies that I’ve done that I have loved and fit my soul; A Simple Plan, Monster’s Ball, Sling Blade, One False Move, Bad Santa even. I mean Bad Santa is a comedy, and it’s a very dark comedy, and it’s become like iconic, you know Picture Quote #1
