Do you have any toy train schedules?
When I was a kid, I went to the store and asked the guy, Do you have any toy train schedules?
For me, it's just acting. It's pretending. The best actors are children, and children don't do research. You never see a child going, 'I'm wondering about my motivation here. How can I do this toy? How can I do this train? I don't feel train.'
I think of a film as being like a toy train.
We don't have 9-5 schedules, Travis and I, so we really try to work with each other's schedules.
Hey, I do take breaks between my shooting schedules! But then, my schedules are like a month long.
Every kid has a toy that they believe is their best friend, that they believe communicates with them, and they imagine it being alive, their toy horse or car or whatever it is. Stop-motion is the only medium where we literally can make a toy come to life, an actual object.
My earliest memory is of the best Christmas gift ever, a toy train. I remember riding that thing all through our house.
I'm an actor first and foremost. My producing credentials are just to say, 'Yeah, I love this story and now let's bring the people, the ensemble together,' and I get out of the way. I have no desire to check on schedules and shooting schedules and money and stuff like that.

You want to have a toy and another toy, and that's not maturity. The biggest things in life are not materials.
Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative.
To a child, often the box a toy came in is more appealing than the toy itself.
When kids my age were picking up toy cars, I used to buy toy guns.
Once in those very early days my brother brought into the nursery the lid of a biscuit tin which he had covered with moss and garnished with twigs and flowers so as to make it a toy garden or a toy forest. That was the first beauty I ever knew. What the real garden had failed to do, the toy garden did. It made me aware of nature-not, indeed, as a storehouse of forms and colors but as something cool, dewy, fresh, exuberant....As long as I live my imagination of Paradise will retain something of my brother's toy garden.
For any actor, hectic shoot schedules often take a toll on the mind and body.
I want to live in a world where my son will not be presumed guilty the moment he is born, where a toy in his hand isn't mistaken for anything other than a toy.
