Do You Know What Fear Stands For?

I'm Superstitious A Little Bit.

One Of The Things That I'm So Proud Of [about] That Movie [brokeback Mountain], Was To See, Within The Past Basically 10 Years, How Much Has Changed. When The Supreme Court [issued A Ruling] Just A Little While Ago, I Felt Like We Had Been Part, A Little Part And Parcel Of That Movement.

When I Look At That Now, All I Think About Is What A Master [david Fincher] I Was Working With, And All Of The Things I Could Have Watched And Learned - And I Didn't. And How, Now, In My Career, How I Would Love To Have A Ton Of Takes.

You Have Formal Rehearsal, A Lot Of Things You Don't Have In Movies - Which Is, You Have To Formally Rehearse. You Have To Know Your Back Story, Discuss It, And Almost Everybody Onstage Has To Know Each Other's [story], So That When It Comes Time To Actually Do It, You Can Throw It All Away. That's The Way I Like To - And I Didn't Realize Until Very Recently - That's The Way I Like To Prepare For Movies.

Don't Listen To What Anybody Says Except The People Who Encourage You. If It's What You Want To Do And It's Within Yourself, Then Keep Going And Try To Do It For The Rest Of Your Life.
