I don't understand a way to work other than bold-facedly running towards failure.

I'm not focused on what other people think of me.

I could do a thousand films that are easy for me to do-that's if I don't fall in the next year, because everyone's about to fall. What's so funny is you look at all us young guys and we're already thinking, Well, I'm going to branch out into directing, and it's all going to be this and that.

Film just chews up actors like nobody's business, and I'm not particularly interested in being chewed up. I think the camera can only look at somebody's face for so long. I guess you have to accept the roles you think are right at the time. You can build a career, but these days there doesn't seem to be that much interest in people being actors.

If I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.

I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

If you only exercise your soloist muscles, the other muscles quickly atrophy.
