My character was extremely lonely and I think I carried that feeling through the whole filming experience. (Sockman Ralph W.)
Casanova was a person who really fell in love with every woman, as opposed to Don Juan, ... I also have an appreciation for love -- just not that many. (Sockman Ralph W.)
[Along with the new characters, producers added more fight scenes to this sequel.] I think that's one thing we decided was very important as a development, ... X2. (Sockman Ralph W.)
Peter's whole essence was very joyous, ... He was fearless, outrageous, and childlike, and he definitely lived life to the full. (Sockman Ralph W.)
Rogue [Anna Paquin], as amazingly powerful as she is, lives a potentially very lonely life. Never being able to touch anyone, never being able to have a physical relationship, never able to have children. Now, as politically abhorrent as something like the cure is, it's also humanely, socially, incredibly understandable that a character like that would take it. (Sockman Ralph W.)
To me, he's a hero, ... He's not polite. He's not someone you want to take home to meet your mother, necessarily. This is a guy in search of truth. Incidentally, that truth one day could save your life or the life of someone you love. That's a heroic thing. (Sockman Ralph W.)
It's a wonderful love story -- a freaky, awesome ride with crazy characters. (Sockman Ralph W.)
My character's the one that kind of initiates these sexual encounters, which to me was, like, totally foreign. (Sockman Ralph W.)
I play a guy who believes he's a king. He's the most common man in the world; in fact his family, like his suits, are just make-up. It's about dysfunctional people and dysfunctional relationships. (Sockman Ralph W.)
It's a nice acting challenge for me because the character's much older and he's Jewish and he's quite lonely. At first he feels like his home is being invaded by this person and they have a few spats, but then he discovers the younger character is also Jewish and he grabs a hold of that. (Gardiner) has other secrets that at first tear us apart then bring us together at the end. (Sockman Ralph W.)
I have a little bit of a temper, but it's ... a useless temper, ... It doesn't accomplish anything, generally. It's just a lot of ranting and raving and nothing, so David (Chase) probably saw that and put it into the character. (Sockman Ralph W.)
When does Earl change, and how long does that take? It's a slow awakening. We have to walk that line of not having that happen too soon but not keeping him ignorant too long. (Sockman Ralph W.)
There's a lot of heart in Earl and a lot of sweet moments at the end of episodes that ground it and let you realize it's not just a comedy, it's got something to it. (Sockman Ralph W.)
That keeps Earl on his toes. If he were able to easily cross everything off, he would start to get a little cocky, I'm sure, and start to rush it a bit. Instead, he stills gets tossed around in the process, and that, to me, is an indication that he's still got a long way to go. (Sockman Ralph W.)
That's the duality of Johnny: he was very, very family-oriented, and yet he was also a s---kicker. (Sockman Ralph W.)
He was an amazing man. He really ended up being the voice of the voiceless, the people that many would just as soon forget about or pretend they don't exist. John spoke up for them. He spoke from the heart with sheer honesty. He seemed to have no regrets, and that's unique, especially nowadays with celebrities, when everyone's so concerned about their image and saying the right thing to maintain their following. John said what he felt regardless of whether it was popular or not. (Sockman Ralph W.)
That was Johnny Cash. He was a complete person. He acknowledged the darker side of his mind. He didn't try to deny it. Most of us are forced into labeling ourselves or others, but that's something John wouldn't do. This is a man who sang, 'I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die,' on 'Folsom Prison Blues,' and then would revel in singing the spirituals and would, in fact, leave Sun Records because Sam Phillips wouldn't let him record an album of gospel songs. (Sockman Ralph W.)
James told me, ... If people want to hear Johnny Cash, they can go get the record. There was such soul to his music, it seems he was compelled to tell a story. John had something to say that really came from the heart. (Sockman Ralph W.)
John was a storyteller, ... He wasn't very metaphorical, he wasn't really abstract. (Sockman Ralph W.)
You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow. (Sockman Ralph W.)
The wardrobe guy [of Blow] was a genius. He was so tapped into that period and he brought me the ugliest things I'd ever seen and then they were somehow beautiful. (Sockman Ralph W.)
