William Hurt
I'm not comfortable with walking the red carpet in a tuxedo and seeing all the women with their boobs pushed up and all the men dressed as penguins - particularly when the subject of your film is the nature of violence and humanity.
William Hurt
It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.
William Hurt
I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.
William Hurt
