->''"I'm always being told that I have to do these movies I don't want to do, so that I get to do the movies I do want to do. When ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety'' was done shooting, I was only eighteen years old and I was at Creator/{{Disney}} for a meeting. I was taking a leak next to [Touchstone head] David Hoberman and he said, "Well, the real question is whether you got the guts to be a movie star, the guts to want it". "Guts" meaning player. Because there's another kind of guts, the guts to try to do it without playing by his definitions. People try to make you feel bad, say, "So you're happy being a fringe artist?" "Yes! Yes I am. What kind of a real artist isn't a fringe artist?" So I don't buy it. I don't see that many people who become giant international movie stars that then go off and make all kinds of sophisticated, subversive, challenging adult films. Creator/TomCruise is in Film/{{Magnolia}}. I admired that he did it, but I don't know that could bear to make the other eighteen movies he had to make to get there. I have some of that romantic '70s thing going, a very anti-corporate attitude. I feel this generation plays too much ball. I see young actors right now, making so much money, getting sucked up into so many movies, it just scares me. If actors and directors have a corporate mentality, then who in the world doesn't have a corporate mentality?"''
