I have this theory that, depending on your attitude, your life doesn't have to become this ridiculous charade that it seems so many people end up living.

You have to make an effort to be in an unprotected environment because everyone thinks you're a completely incapable idiot who couldn't possibly brush his teeth without an assistant. You have to make an effort in order to be able to actually experience the country that you're in.

You say something bad about Newsies and you have an awful lot of people to answer to.

I always leave disaster for other people to decide, because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people's favorite movies. And that's what I like so much, is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.

The point of having a director is that they make the final decision; it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions.

What I like about it is that I'm not somebody who's in movies. I'm a guy who's not very good going around the track with a bunch of guys who are a hell of a lot better.

An actor should never be larger than the film he's in.
