We are not really privy to all that crazy stuff that goes on in the show. I go to work eat and talk about food. The wild things happen when we aren't around. I expected Top Chef to last three or four seasons and we are now shooting season ten.
Believe me I understand the need for easy and speedy. After a 12-hour day of shooting 'Chopped ' say I'm talking stir-fry spaghetti heck peanut-butter sandwiches. But that's not about the joy of food. That's survival.
When I come home from a shoot I'd rather reheat food I've made than eat takeout.
People don't know where to place me. Terry Gilliam used me as a quirky cop in 'Twelve Monkeys' and then he hired me again to be an effeminate hotel clerk in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Another time I was shooting this indie film 'The Souler Opposite' and six days a week I'm playing this big puppy dog then I come to the 'NYPD Blue' set and become this scumbag.
How does one kill fear I wonder? How do you shoot a specter through the heart slash off its spectral head take it by its spectral throat?
Mississippi Mermaid was a very special experience because we only had the dialogues for the scenes we were shooting the night before.
I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them.
I read Shakespeare and the Bible and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.
Do It Under the Influence Yourself! That's what we're shooting for! Get drunk and make your dreams come true.
You have to design and program differently. Combat action in an MMO is so different to combat in a first-person shooter.
My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview - how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone.
I was court-martial in my absence and sentenced to death in my absence so I said they could shoot me in my absence.
When I came back to Dublin I was courtmartialed in my absence and sentenced to death in my absence so I said they could shoot me in my absence.
I was court-martialled in my absence and sentenced to death in my absence so I said they could shoot me in my absence.
When you're shooting a film you really don't get to be a dad and you don't really get to be a husband. You don't really exist at all. But I do drag my family with me on location whenever I can.
My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends but you'll never have enemies because people will always know where you're coming from.'
Courage is sometimes frail as hope is frail: a fragile shoot between two stones that grows brave toward the sun though warmth and brightness fail striving and faith the only strength it knows.
