"I’m interested in doing movies I wouldn’t normally be interested in doing." ― Eric Stoltz Topic(s): Movies More From Eric Stoltz "It just seems to me that the world’s kind of a mess, and the more messy it gets, the more interested I am in escapist fare. Having a good time is something that isn’t about the war in Iraq or the Asian flu or the Kyoto protocol – things that are horribly depressing to consider in our real lives. I’m eager to get away from them." "There’s a strange sense of accomplishment in making an independent film. Everything’s against you; there’s no time, and even less money – you bring a bottle of glue, chip in twenty bucks, and hope you all make it through the day. If you manage to finish it and it actually turns out to be pretty good, it’s thrilling." "You know, you grow up with the image of John Travolta being super cool – ‘Saturday Night Fever,’ Brian De Palma, handsome young god… he, in reality, is a very silly man. And I mean that in a good way. He’ll walk around the set talking in little weird voices, making people laugh."

I’m keeping the door open for all these amazing female singer-songwriters that are coming out."― Miranda Lambert "I don’t blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me."― Joseph Gordon-Levitt
