I act like a jerk sometimes.

I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships.

I'm over the Oscar thing. I feel that if you really want an Oscar, you're in trouble. It's like wanting to be married - you'll take anybody. If you want the Oscar really badly, it becomes a naked desire and ambition. It becomes very unattractive. I've seen it.

I'm just an obnoxious guy who can make it appear charming, that's what they pay me to do.

I know how to be sour. I know that taste.

If you have a good script, that's what gets you involved. It's harder to write a good screenplay than to find something.
