Cher's great, she's incredible. She is an enormous, enormous star, who goes anywhere and crowds follow her...and yet she's a disciplined actress and she's down to Earth and cool. I can't say enough good things about her.

I really don't make a concerted effort to try to find a type of role. Maybe I've just done enough of them now where people are like, Oh, it's the guy that's in a swirling vortex of despair, send it to Kinnear! I don't really know, but it does seem to be a recurring theme.

You learn more about a person from the people around that person than you do from the person themselves. We all have our own ideas of who we are that may or may not be justified, and you can really find out a heck of a lot more accurately from the people around an individual.

My family moved - first to Washington, D.C., and then, in the spring of 1975, to Lebanon, where my father worked as a diplomat at the American embassy. My parents were enthusiastic about the move, so my older brother and I felt like we were off to some place kind of cool.

I had interest in acting. I started as a drama major in college. I got to school and said, What am I going to do with this? But I didn't know anybody in the business, and it seemed like - I don't know. I had a teacher who said Less than 1 percent of you will ever make a living being an actor. That was how we opened the semester.

I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. I found it incredibly difficult, doing that kind of sales work. I would have thought I'd be good at it, but I wasn't. It's so easy in acting. Everything falls into place when they write that you're a salesman. People just say yes, and then it's great.

I'm a terrible procrastinator. When we go to the airport, if they're not literally closing the door behind my sweaty, hyperventilating body, I feel I've been there too long.

It's not easy to tell a story about writers and make that feel like a complete story and an interesting story.

When you have a director who has work you can identify from the past, it gives you some reference point as to what their interpretation of the story might be, and how that might jibe, right or wrong, with how you see it. But with a first-time director, you don't really know where you're at.
