I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.

When you consider the many ways in which people have to make a living every day when they wake up, I figure that eating 20 eggs isn't that bad.

Sometimes I feel like every movie I make could be the last. I know that's not really the case, but if I think about it that way and I'm very careful, then maybe I can build a career, movie by movie, that I'm happy with.

I didn't have to audition. That's common, but it had never happened to me before. Normally, I hate auditioning. I need to stew and think... let the character develop and grow inside me.

Great books don't make great movies. There's too much information in there.

My aim was not to fool. My aim was to provoke thought and stir emotion.

I was really short in high school. I was stuck on the bench in the baseball team, so I just thought I'd try out theater, and that was the last time I did sports.
