I got into [producing] to be part of stories that wouldn't necessarily be right for me as an actor.

You know, you find that these stories ... will turn one of us into the good guy and one of us into the bad guy. If you look at it closely or even not that closely ... it's ridiculous.

I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It's the truth.

The best moments can't be preconceived. I've spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.

For me a film is at its best when you can start filling in the story with your own life experience.

When you first get opportunities, suddenly you get surrounded by a lot of people who want to make money off you but also are there to help. But they start telling you so much what you need to be and what you need to do to maintain some idea of career maintenance.

I spent the '90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony.
