mmm
the its
by and
I mmm John good evening thank you so much for being here
thanks for having me every character you play seems to be different in what is
the secret key thing to you
a longevity in your industry and how do you keep audiences surprised with
the roles each use I i think you know you just have to keep trying to get in
as much trouble as you can and find your way home
you know and I'm I think you have to authentically explore
to different parts yourself to it you know you can mine in yeah it to get
lucky
and you gotta work with good people and you know
I don't know if there's anything more profound had you know when you read the
script that this is a
John Cusack movie area John Key I don't use that dustin has
daughter I think I celebrate their person right
hello Brian J dollars to these stadiums are you
I live in the projects probably really nice but I don't think there's
but I i probably I'm just look at the
I mean look if you get if you look at the ground po his ankle
there some I gotta jump into because this is so juicy as a great
American iconic kinda literary figure that started all these different genres
from
you know he's sorta the Godfather gotham he certainly
yeah I'm you know such a complex person
and such a paradox soul he's got all these
different things going on so that was an easy one right be
and then you know the other times you know you just looking for the best
director and best roles
the same things right and I mean you're pretty
hands on some cases with your films I mean you want to be able to producing
yeah often have screenplay you know participation credit serb
I mean it's also a time this was you I mean you want to have that
that hands-on experience yeah I think you wanna like it
after a while you I think producing is basically just getting the right people
together in
creating an environment that you know you you know that actors can be
successful and in
you know take some risks in you know keep the fear of to set
man so I enjoy that part of it too enjoy doing that
you starred in and produced a really high larious movie just a couple years
ago I called Hot Tub Time Machine
in grab nights
you don't have any clips because its way two bodies my finest hour right
I I think you know I think there's a case to be made it but your
why not but that I mean that movie dealt with the characters traveling back to
the decade that we try to think I'm is they're becoming a key sack
when was that see another time I would never yeah that's what I'm here
yeah but we I mean me you see that as
a way to start an exercise that phase in your career or just
wave you know pretty in the past saying you know ed that
and I'm I I'm moving on from I thought it was sorta
up kinda funny kitsch black
absurd idea and I thought if I'm gonna be self-referential sorta post-modern
you know if somebody's gonna do that and they're going to be mean to me it might
as well be me
I I should take shots at my cell
you know and then he but all movies are a risk so you just
and without I thought we could do at night I work with the friend Steve Payne
quite done high fidelity and yeah I spent like within
you know was just a fun weird bizarre comedy
you know I fidelity was one have he knew she was in the crib that we should've
won a few movies you done
in which you peered up to see your sister Joan in
in some lessons its
think it has all the time then how do you know you know when what makes you
say that you would like to work with her in a film where you can feel like it's
the right role for her you know any senior gonna be in with her
is going to be hilarious are going to be great so if your producer and I can get
a cheap
downside and I know shorter my phone rather to recall colleges go to our
house
it's like and yes I can get her to do what I want
yeah to Canada she can't avoid me forever
a lot of former colleagues in using work within that an answer
earliest a ride with that didn't go onto thirty-year career is it getting maybe
add more ups and downs long way and what would you say what do you think you did
differently at that time what you knew how do you think you avoid similar Spurs
pitfall
well deleting the only natural thing I can think of is a
I was a I didn't really believe in the celebrity
culture I never got wrapped up in that part of it he
as by I think I give myself credit for you know a lot of it was a
are you a lot alike and working with good people but um certainly I think
I think you probably I'm your
if you're over exposing the personalities on television all the time
and
people know everything about your life nephew if you sort of are
are intrusive that way i think is less mistreating
you and you don't really want to go find out what to try to work out like what
teams are they playing with what ideas a
interested in because you can go the other they're talking all the time
may never leave you note so it's nice I believe in them
you know you want it back in and I think I got that joke a little early that you
know you don't want to overstay your welcome
and think that the machine is really interested in
you know what you had for breakfast and all that stuff I that said I tweeted
yeah
