I rarely bullied in childhood. Firstly, I was above all in the classroom, and secondly, we are constantly moved. Redding, Sacramento, Pacific Palisades, again, Redding, Sacramento again, Hayward, Niles, Oakland (city in California. - Esquire). We were always on the move, and I've always been a brand new school. Any kids, of course, wanted to deal with me, see who I am. I was a pretty shy guy, but most of the time I went out to give all freaks in the neck.

And I thought, in America they would all enclosed and very tall mesh fence. They have in mind would be one thought: if someone falls, it immediately appears his lawyer. But there, in Iceland, people think the same way as previously thought in America, in the old days, if you fall, you're an idiot.

The older you get, the more you begin to love their children.

My children - from various women. But it was Dean brought us all together. It is completely absent psychology second wife - you know, this mentality of cave women. She gets on well with my first wife, my ex-girlfriend. Family rests on it, and no one has had on my life the same impact as it is.

"Macho" was a buzzword in the 1980s. Then Macho macho is this - macho, the - not macho. But here I did not understand until the end, what macho. This is someone who walks around, exuding testosterone? Who opens the door with his foot and can walk the wheel? I remember when he met Rocky Marciano (the famous American boxer, 1923-1969. - Esquire). It was a soft, quiet man who did not try to crush your fingers when shaking hands. And he had a high-pitched voice. But he could knock a man for a second. As I see it, this is macho. Muhammad Ali, by the way, is the same.

It so happened that I had killed a bunch of people on the screen. Perhaps it is a catharsis, and perhaps just sadism. Or it does not mean anything.

You can not teach a person to be an actor, but you can make it so that people will teach himself.

You can rehearse the role hundreds of times, but you can just go out and play. I prefer the second.

The "switch" (Eastwood movie of the life of the 1920s. - Esquire) I tried to show that today can not be found anywhere else: the boy sitting in front of the radio and watching him. Just looking at the radio and listening to what it says. Everything else does his imagination.

Angelina Jolie is beautiful. It reminds me of the women of the forties - Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Ingrid Bergman. No, women today are just fine, but then they still had more personality.
