Two Girls and a Guy (1997) 

[iknowwhoheis]

- You think it's supposed to get more and more dramatic, it's not a movie. It's real life. For me, I just happened to be in a situation the very last time and I said, "You know what? I don't think I can continue doing this." And I reached out for help and I ran with it, you know? Because you can reach out for help in a half-assed way, and you'll get it, and you won't take advantage of it. You know? It's really not that difficult to overcome these seemingly ghastly problems. -You are saying that it's not that difficult? - No. What's hard is to decide. - That's big. That's really big.

- Oh.

Nothing pleases me more than when somebody who was awe-inspired to be working with me realizes I'm just another schmuck that they're bored of hanging out with on a set. I love that moment. I like it when that persistent illusion is smashed.

Chuck the Movieguy, 2008

[iknowwhoheis]

- I’ve got to tell you; as a critic and a fan of Iron Man since childhood... I’ve never been more excited... Never been more satisfied... Never been more blown away...

- Really? Oh, man...

- Honestly, when I first heard you were going to be Tony Stark, I was like... you know, I’m not really sure... but... I’m a big fan of your work and you’ve never disappointed me... and... you are Tony Stark. In my mind, there’s nobody else.

- That’s so cool.

First thing you learn in theater arts: aesthetic distance. I am not this play I’m doing. I’m not a character in The Fantasticks. I’m not Will from Oklahoma. Aesthetic distance, it’s job one. I’m not my work. I’m not what I did with that studio. I’m not that period of time that I spent playing this character. And it sucks because the kid in all of us wants to be like ‘No. It’s always gonna be summer camp and we’re all holding hands and singing Kumbaya. Isn’t it?’ It’s like ‘No, no. Snap out of it.

I don’t think I will never go that fast again, but that is based on my behavior moment to moment, whether I’m able to maintain this nice groove I’m on or whether it will all go away in a second for something that I could justify or rationalize that was none of my own doing. But that isn’t real. This, [home, family and career] is real.
