They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true.

Being at the mercy of the acting profession, in the early days of one's career, is really brutal and feels like you have no control over your life, at all.

And I just want to work with good directors and good people.

I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.

A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well, yeah, all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage.

Most people that work in [show] business, if they're not gypsies by nature, become gypsies, just because of the reality of this business.

To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own.
