If you're afraid to take risks in anything in life, it's just boredom.
You have to steal a lot. You have to have a criminal mentality to be a film director.
I like the inspiration of the first take.
I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
The main thing is, you just want to have your place in history. You hope that people will look back on it in 15, 20, 30 and beyond years, and say, "That was an exciting film."
The best part of aging in this business is losing that obsession about work and being able to spend a little more time with family.
Once you finish a film, it doesn't belong to you anymore - it belongs to the audience to interpret it the way they feel like interpreting.
The cruelty of nature is you have to work out harder when you get older ... It should be the other way around: Work out hard when you're a kid you should be able to coast when you get older. But unfortunately you have to do more to stay in the same position.
Society is at odds with itself.
It's much more fun to play something you're nothing like than what you are... It's much easier to hide yourself in a character.
I've taken advantage of a few breaks that came along and moved along with them.
I don't really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.
I don't mind telling a dark side.
Every story has its demands.
