>> Stephen: I DON'T THINK OF YOU AS A SMALL PERSON.
>> THERE WAS A CLIP, ASK HIM IF HE'D EVER BEEN NOMINATED WHICH I
THOUGHT WAS NOT A NICE THING TO ASK HIM BECAUSE HE'D NEVER BEEN
NOMINATED.
WHEN I SAW THE CLIP IT WAS THIS, "HAVE YOU BEEN NOMINATED?
SO I LOOK LIKEDLY WANT ASS.
I THOUGHT HE LOOKED LIKE THE ASS, THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN.
BUT IT DIDN'T TURN OUT THAT WAY.

>> AND NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO DO "DUNE.
>> Stephen: HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU DID "DUNE."
>> I WAS 17.
>> Stephen: I READ IT WHEN I THINK I WAS 18, OR 19, I GUESS,
AND I THOUGHT-- WELL, I-- THOUGHT I HAVE TO PLAY PAUL
ATREIDES.
DID YOU SAY TO YOURSELF AT THAT AGE-- DID YOU WANT TO BE AN
ACTOR AT THAT AGE?
>> I DID, BUT I ALWAYS LOOKED AT THE OTHER GUY.
