I'm glad to be an actor to be employed by people who are now 12, probably. I look forward to that.

Even when Warren [Beatty] cast me, it had been two years between films at that point.

I didn't read the script [ Rules Don't Apply ] for a couple years. It basically amounted to this kind of apprenticeship with Warren [Beatty]: conversations and learning about his whole background in the film industry and his life.

I got turned down for a million jobs until I got my first movie with Francis [Ford Coppola].

So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.

It's a little bit about how I felt about Hail, Caesar! and now Star Wars. I could not have predicted those things happening to me. But I'm just happy they come along.

[Howard Hughes ] approached filmmaking like he approached all of his inventiveness - it gave him an opportunity to make a name for himself in the world.
