I suspect that a lot of studio executives still think of me as 'what's-his-name'.

When I feel like I'm doing my best work, there is a bit of a freedom, a bit of flight that you're not so much losing yourself but you're sort of in the zone.

As a rule it usually takes three or four readings for me to be interested in a script, and if I'm interested I'll read it three or four times before I make a strong decision

You don't throw away a whole life just because it's banged up a little.

I don't want to go bald, I don't know what's coming up next.

I've been around horses, but I certainly wouldn't call myself a horseman by any means. It's a combination of being very aware of them, and not trusting them.

I've got research, I have my own life experience I can apply, and I have my imagination.
