I’m not much of a drinker, so I’m going to eat seven pounds of pork.

The great movies that I want to do now are being made for $2.5-million budgets.

Playing normal-looking characters really intimidatesme. I got into acting to play anyone but me.

People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.

Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.

Independent films now, they want to give you $2 million to make it, 21 days to shoot it and they want 10 movie stars in it.

I'm really influenced by Southern novelists, not many movie people. More like John Faulkner, William Faulkner, Erskine Caldwell, Flannery O'Connor, John Steinbeck, and people like that.
