Has been cutting his own hair for over 25 years using an old-fashioned Flowbee. I don't like to share my personal life These days it only matters who's in charge.
Right now that's us -for a while, at least. Our opponents are going to resort to car bombs and suicide attacks because they have no other way to win. I believe [Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld ] thinks this is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore. We can't beat anyone anymore. It's not about an opening weekend. It's about a career, building a set of films you're proud of.
Ninety percent of films are pretty mediocre, but they have a built-in audience and open on 3, screens. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind bombed. But I can take it. Most of the films I've done haven't done particularly well.
I'm surprised I'm continuing to work. Directing is really exciting. In the end, it's more fun to be the painter than the paint. I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately It's a mean thing, life. We've been trying to push our involvement within the studio system, sort of push the things that we've learned from foreign and independent films through the '80s and push those things back into the studio system.
Like Out of Sight isn't your standard studio film by any means; Three Kings wasn't the standard Warner Bros. Directors are the captains of the ship, and it's your job as the lead actor to make sure that the rest of the cast understand that by doing whatever he says. See, the first thing about actors is, you're just trying to get a job; and you audition and audition and you finally get them.
And you still consider yourself an auditioning actor. I auditioned for One Fine Day , I wasn't offered that. So you're still in that 'Hey, I'm just trying to get a job' thing. Then, you get to the point where, if you decide to do it, then they'll make the film.
That's a different kind of responsibility, and it usually takes a couple of films to catch up. And then you have to actually pay attention to the kind of films that you're making.
You got to think of things at their worst, not at their best. And Out of Sight was the first time where I had a say, and it was the first good screenplay that I'd read where I just went, 'That's it. And I realized from that point on that it was strictly screenplay first. And then it becomes easier, because once you eliminate the idea of doing a vehicle.
We were like, it's never going to be better than this. He [director Steven Soderbergh ] was in hell because it was a really complicated film to put together. We were like, we're in Las Vegas, we go to work at one in the afternoon, and we gotta be done by six at night. Six hours of work.
Steven was editing all night. I'm a hybrid. I succeed in both worlds. I hope that selling out on Ocean's Eleven is not such a bad deal. The trade-off is, I get to go make something uncommercial that will probably lose money. Steven [ Steven Soderbergh ] and I have a great relationship inside the studio system.
We make the kinds of films we want and commercial films at the same time. Steven and I have lost a lot of money. We are way in the hole. But this is not a day job.
I've got some cash. I have a nice house in Italy. I do OK. It's true information is harder to get these days. When I was growing up there were three networks - three news shows, delivering the same information. You took that information into your home and you formed your own opinions. Now we have channels. You go to the channel that plays to your belief pattern. We start with different sets of facts, it's more polarizing. But when you do a film like this, or like Three Kings - films that get you in a bit of trouble - it's fun to open up a debate.
