It's much harder to play beloved than to play a rotten guy. Rotten guy is a piece of cake. So playing a beloved person really sets a high bar for your behavior and your acting and what you project.

I've never made any horrible, horrible movies. If you don't ruin your reputation, you can always get work.

I kinda like this Jay-Z thing, where he’s retired, but he keeps doing shows. I think I beat him to that. If you say you’re retired, people don’t bother you so much, and then if you want to do something, you can do it.

I knew that's where I was going. I knew we were going to Italy. You couldn't make this movie in America at this price. I knew it was going to be big. I knew there was going to be a ship involved and that there was going to be a set as big as the ship. I thought, well, here we go. But I knew that was where he was headed. He had been going this way for some time. All directors, once they have some success, they want to spend a whole heck of a lot of money. (Something else can't hear.)

People usually go through a bad period when they first get successful. You're new and you're hot and things go wrong.

The human condition means that we can zone out and forget what the hell we're doing.

There are people who drove me crazy, but they got the job done. And when I see that person again, I nod my head. Respect.
