I've been in movies with Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson - but I was on 'The Simpsons,' and finally, in the eyes of my children, I was a star.
Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Sean Connery and Robert Redford, Mel Gibson - at least in the Road Warrior films - and Harrison Ford are among my favorite actors. Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Deborah Winger, Jessica Lange, and of course, Shirley MacLaine, are among the women.
I wanna meet Meryl Streep, so she can be my mama. I want Meryl Streep to be my mom in a movie.
Meryl Streep is exactly as awesome as you would imagine Meryl Streep to be.
There's no really signature Leo DiCaprio role, like Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson no matter what movie he's in.
Life is difficult enough without Meryl Streep movies.
Meryl Streep's brilliant, just brilliant. I've been fortunate to do two movies with Meryl. And for an actor to go moment to moment like she does, there's no one better. And she dances between moments. Each take is different because she's riding instincts, she's riding impulses. And she trusts that.
It was also wonderful to have the prospect of playing with Jack Nicholson. It was a terrific part, a terrific script, with Alexander Payne and Jack Nicholson. You can't get any better than that!
Meryl [Streep] plays the me-ish character. I love Meryl. She's totally wonderful.
If I could transform my stage life to the movies, I'd be Jack Nicholson.
For as long as I can remember, my acting crush has been Meryl Streep.
I hadn't been that impressed with someone since I worked with Meryl Streep.
But the people I admire have always been people like Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson and Jack Lemmon.
If you see 'The Shining' with Jack Nicholson, you remember him not only because he is Jack Nicholson and because he does a wonderful job, but because he is a threat. The bad guy is someone people will have in their minds forever if it's a good bad guy.
I'm not doing anything Jack Nicholson turned down. Any part that required a character distanced from myself would have been a reach. But the one thing I've always done well at, and I'm most devoted to, is my children.
I've often been mistaken for Meryl Streep, although never on Oscar night.
Before I do a movie, I watch Meryl Streep movies over and over. It's not to mimic her. It's to remind myself to be more committed.
