I believe in making all movies at their most reasonable. That I get a lot of money as an actor is because nobody else will get it if I don't.
No issue is more compelling than the air we breathe, be it hot or cold, be it hawk or human.
I used to be very quick, I would be able to leave the room and be back before you noticed. When you can't do that anymore you need to change the style of how you do things. But I'm very interested in life and you don't want to lose that.
I usually don't get too bogged down with my personal problems because that's a one-way street if you get yourself into a negative frame of mind and only see the dark side of life.
A lot of people manage to find common ground and not let disagreements or tensions build up and destroy them, and other people break up or get divorced. I don't think anything is ever going to change that situation. You simply try to find an accommodation and an understanding with another person and work from there.
Time keeps no measure when true friends are parted, No record day by day; the sands move not for those who, loyal-hearted, friendship's firm laws obey.
There is one thing I know about creative conflict: once my argument is exhausted, I am not going to be unhappy whether it moves in my direction or away.
I've spent more time playing golf than anything else the last 18 years. Just wanted to be an 80s-shooter. Got there, too.
I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.
If you think you’re attractive, you’re always attractive.
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.
People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.
A lot of people in the middle of their lives have a secret yearning for more romance.
