I've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral, it didn't take off.

When I went to acting school, the kids that got the best grades were the kids that could cry on cue. But it didn't really translate into careers for any of them, because the external is the easy part.

Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?

You know, when cameras are rolling, improvisation doesn't feel natural. The pressure is too great. You're on a time schedule. You've got 60 crewmen.

When I die, if the word 'thong' appears in the first or second sentence of my obituary, I've screwed up.

Regrets are stupid; they don't mean anything and they don't add up to anything.

I cast unusual people in my movies.
