: The following is from a one page interview with Jason Lee in the current UK edition of InStyle magazine. (Madonna on the cover.)

: ----------------------------------------

: WATCH THIS FACE - Jason Lee

: The star of "Almost Famous" and the upcoming "Vanilla Sky" talks about his life in film.
:
: Have you always wanted to act?
: No. I used to skateboard professionally. That was my whole life, but eventually I wanted to try different things. I knew a lot of actors, so I came into it that way.
:
: Who would you most like to work with?
: There are so many- Edward Norton, Benicio Del Toro, Joaquin Phoenix- of course, Robert De Niro, to see what that trip is all about! Tom Cruise is amazing, a real treat to work with.I also admire Gene hackman a lot.
:
: And what about the opposite sex?
: Meryl Streep- she's a master at what she does. I also love ensemble work- I would have loved to have been part of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
:
: Any directors you'd love to work with?
: I really want to be in a movie directed by Sean penn,and if he acted in it as well, all the better! The Coen brothers' movies have a lot to do with why I am an actor- I drew inspiration from all of them.
:
: Are you an indie guy or a blockbuster bloke?
: If I like the project, I'll take it. It doesn't matter what the budget is.
:
: Do you find it difficult to shale off a character after filming?
: No, I have no problem with that. I don't think you have to delve really deep into your psyche to perform well. As long as you feel the emotion, you should be able to do it.
:
: What would you refuse to do in a film?
: I can't see myself playing an all-action hero, so I wouldn't want to do that. And I wouldn't do nudity.
:
: If not acting, what would you do?
: I would probably be a musician, but I'm also a huge supporter of art. I finance art exhibitions for friends in LA.
:
: What's your long-term game plan?
: I want to make films within the studio system without making too many sacrifices. I want to have a lot of movies inder my belt. And i want to have a huge art collection!

Oh well, fuck Kevin Smith...I need no longer be a fan.
