You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you've got to love him.

It's important, when going after a goal, to never lose sight of the integrity of the journey.

I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything. I just want (the audience) to have an experience that moves them.

Everything I do in my life is very instinctual and in the moment. If I'm attracted to something, that's it. If I have reservations, those don't change till they're resolved. My first impression is how I go.

Great writing attracts great actors. It attracts money. Without a great script, you have nothing.

I'm not hooked on cognac, but I've enjoyed it over the years.

A lot of things I try to instill in my children comes off of what I've learned from my parents. First of all, you have to lead by example. You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them. So I try to be the best example I can be to them.
