Yeah, oh yeah.
I think if you keep moving, that's what happens. You step into a hole somewhere and you sink. But instead of giving up right then, you keep pushing. And I always tell youngsters, my kids, if you fall and you just lay there, people will come right past you. But if you fall and you struggle... somebody's going to give you a hand.
Sometimes you just can't get up by yourself. But that doesn't mean lie there saying, okay, this is it. It's not it. Unless you say it's it. Keep pushing, keep trying. You'll always get a hand. Somebody will, something.
In my case.
Driving Miss Daisy. And Lean on Me? Yeah, all of that. Interesting thing for me in this wild ride was Driving Miss Daisy and Street Smart came out same week. Oh, really? Yeah. So in the movies, I'm this pimp. And on stage, I'm this old man. What a range there on display.
Apartment. In New York. Yeah. I had a friend who was in real estate, doing pretty good. Now co-opping becomes possible in my building. So as a tenant, I could buy my six-room apartment for $78,000. Oh, my God. Now I don't have... $78,000, but I am working. I go to a friend and say, I just need a quarter of that ticket loan. He said, in essence, no, it won't be worth it.
So eventually I bought the apartment. Instead of $78,000, I paid $230,000. Oh, bummer. Oh, 3X.
Yes!
It doesn't get better. When I was a little boy, if you wanted to give me something for Christmas, give me a cat pistol and a rig. I was so good. I could shoot five guys.
Mostly hit. Miss only been a couple of times.
I love the way Clint directs. He knows when he has what he needs and he moves on. And he knows it soon. He does not direct actors. He directs the movie. You come doing your lines and where all the cables are on the floor. Yeah, right. As opposed to somebody like David Fincher.
He has a concept and they want you to be privy to that concept. So if you're privy to that concept and you will do your best to give him whatever it is he wants. That was what I got and my relationship developed with David. I know why you're asking me to do this. It's not like, okay, say it like this. He never said that, but I want light situations. So turn your head just as much.
No, no.
I can't stand it. We say, that was great. Let's do another. You know, just to see what happens. You know, the same thing is going to happen, dude.
Yeah. Younger directors, they'll get into that situation.
To rewrite my script?
Two people I really am nervous about trying to work with, and that's people who write and direct. And I just worked with one who writes and directs that I would jump off a cliff for. It's Taylor Sheridan. In Lioness?
Yeah. Yeah.
He's just like, it's yours. If you can think of anything you want to do, give it to me.
That's right. That's his attitude, you know. It's like, right on, brother. Right on. I'm here. Yes. And then I'm up there with these... Ladies. Some badasses. Yeah, such a terrific cast. Michael Kelly. Yeah, Nicole Kidman. I've always been in love with that woman since I first saw her.
