I think you grow up wanting to be a racing driver. Then it dawns on you that it’s not going to happen.
I would like to do any way possible that Howard Stark can make a return. He’s such a fun character to play, and I really believe that he could make quite an exciting character to watch more of. The flawed entrepreneur, the kind of crazy playboy, from that era is an exciting concept.
I’m always in awe of directors because they’re just holding so much stuff in the air. They’ve got so many decisions that they need to be making and they have to have the complete overall look of what the piece of artwork is.
Especially with comedy, you take massive risks because ultimately you’re trying to be funny. If you’re not funny, then it’s really embarrassing and you look stupid.
You want to know if anyone’s going to go see your film. You shouldn’t worry about it or get hung up on it. So yea, you kind of monitor it.
I grew up loving cars. It was completely and utterly, without a doubt, my childhood dream. Whether your childhood dream progresses or changes, you turn into a man and you probably shouldn’t still have that same dream.
You never know really what anyone thinks about you – that’s why all my closest friends are ones I’ve had since my schooling days when I was 5. And I surround myself with people who I trust and who know me.
