You shouldn't eat red meat, but you shouldn't make resolutions you can't keep.

Drama is more focused and it reveals itself to you, whereas comedy is just right there, when you first read it.

I think that acting is no fun unless it's hard. I'm not titillated by acting or being an actor unless I have to work hard.

When you're 20 you can put a ton of old-age prosthetics on and be an old guy, but when you're 70 you can't play a 20-year-old.

I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.

The worst thing is to read bad reviews and go, "Yeah, I agree."

I've always tried to have a rule that you shouldn't make fun of innocent people who can't defend themselves. I find that a little unseemly and distasteful. But nothing's really sacred to me.
