Sigmund Freud said we act out our own dreams, but if you are only an actor you are not acting out your own dream. You are simply participating in someone else’s dream Picture Quote #1

Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it Picture Quote #1

Some people die before their time so that others can live. It’s a cornerstone of civilization Picture Quote #1

We have a tendency to think everyone’s idiotic and everyone’s only doing something idiotic, and the world is controlled by a not-so-secret group of morons. There’s great truth in that, I suppose, but then it’s also not true Picture Quote #1

It’s funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH Picture Quote #1

I probably have more female friends than any man I’ve ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they’re generally mentally tougher, and they’re better listeners, and they’re more capable of surviving things. And most of the women that I like have a haunted quality - they’re sort of like women who live in a haunted house all by themselves Picture Quote #1

I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It’s not my thing Picture Quote #1

For a while I wanted to be a professional baseball pitcher, and then I wanted to be a musician and then sometimes I think I’d like to start a store for gift-wrapping Christmas presents...But I feel I could do most things I set my mind to, except mechanical things, I’m not very good at that Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the Midwest, quite far from any ocean or any beach, a million miles. I think for kids who grew up where I did, the idea of California, surfing and beach life was so exotic and glamorous Picture Quote #1

Secretariat’ was such a magnificent animal, unbelievably beautiful and powerful. It’s always nice to see something that close to perfection, a reason to celebrate Picture Quote #1

There are many, many benefits to being known for whatever it is you do. To deny that would be sort of asinine and vulgar Picture Quote #1

I’ll never be the biggest kind of star; I’ll be like Bob Duvall, respected as an actor but a lot of people can’t identify the face. I don’t have the personality of a big star, or the looks of a Mel Gibson or a Paul Newman, or the style of a George C. Scott Picture Quote #1

I just start with a pencil and paper. I don’t want something too trendy, too fashion-forward. I don’t want to make something I consider a regular person couldn’t wear with blue jeans. But I don’t want to make something that other people make, either - like a skinny black suit in a shiny material that you can buy anywhere Picture Quote #1
