We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.

The independent film business is pretty much gone. Now you can do it in a format where you actually get to develop a character over a period of time.

You never know what an audience is going to think about something. The ones that the audience doesn't get, I tend to let them go. I don't like to dwell on them too much.

Just the other day, my assistant was on the line with Calvin Klein. Golly, I usually shop at Sears.

Anytime you get a chance to play some extreme character, in any direction, it's always a great blessing.

The audience, that's who I care about.

Directing is a big responsibility to take on. I think I'm only good at doing things I know very well. I don't direct movies because I get offered the new vampire movie or science fiction movie. I don't get offered those, anyway, but if I did, I would just tell 'em, "Look, I'm the wrong guy." I only do things about people and situations, and I do the ones that I think I'm the best guy for the job on, which is usually something I generate myself.
