All the stuff with the World Trade Organization, the kids in Seattle throwing a bricks through Starbucks windows - I see it as a good thing. It`s saying, like "F--k you." As long as no one`s killing one another, I don`t think there`s anything wrong with throwing a brick through the window of McDonalds. I`m sort of inspired when I see people thinking like that.
I watched the movie Cast Away (2000). It`s a perfectly fine movie. But you can never fully believe that movie. How can we believe this man is being cast away? We know it`s Tom Hanks and we know the color of his couch in his house in L.A. because we saw a picture of it in People magazine. His celebrity has corrupted his art form.
It`s like, once you`ve seen Tom Hanks win the Golden Globes, the Oscars, you`ve seen his wife, what kind of car he drives, when you watch his movies, you can`t fully get really lost in them.
If I was roped into a seven-year TV contract I`d probably hang myself. It`s a TV show - selling cars, cereal, soda pop. TV is like that. The shows are incidental to the commercials. I always laugh when TV shows pat themselves on the back for being cutting-edge. I mean, an interracial kiss on "Ally McBeal" (1997) is cutting-edge? I`ve never been shocked by anything on television, except the news.
