If you're working on a movie, you want it to be projected on the largest tapestry possible, and the sound to be perfect, and for that kind of communal experience of the movies to take place for it.

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 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 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.

I was 12 when my parents told me we were moving to Lebanon. I remember thinking, 'Leba-who?' I had absolutely no concept of the place.

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.
