I Always Wanted To Be An Astronaut.

Well, There's Two Things I Have Criteria For Doing A Film: The Script, Which Is The Story, And The Filmmaker, And It's A Filmmaker's Medium. I Like Really Strong Directors, And So When I Do A Film, I'm Out There To Serve The Director, Really, Which Is In Turn To Serve The Script, To Serve The Director Cause He's The One Making The Film. I Relied On Todd Haynes For That.

There's No Way That I Could Do A 9 To 5 Job. There's No Way. I Was Not Cut Out For That. You Come In And You Work For Three Months On The One Job. They Say, 'great,' You Know, And You're On To The Next One - And You Never Even Got Fired. It's Wonderful.

I Guess I Could Say I'm An Actor, Which I Am, But That Sounds Like I'm Putting Down Being A Movie Star, Which, Let's Face It, Is What I've Become To Many People. For Myself, I'm A Guy Who Was Very Insecure From About Age 14 Until The Day I Hit My 30th Birthday.

I Wanted To Be An Astronaut When I Was A Kid. I Grew Up In Houston. Gordo Cooper Was My Favorite Astronaut.

That's What Is Great About What I Do, Going From One Job To The Other.
