The art of survival is a story that never ends.

Any planning that I have in my career is totally accidental really.

I swear, the bigger your muscles get, the duller you are. You become fascinated with carbs and protein and ripped abs and things that are just not interesting at all.

I find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.

I always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.

People always say, "What do you want to do next, what kind of movie do you want to do next?" And I say, "I wanna do whatever script that is the best one that comes my way." I certainly would never say, "Oh, I'm gonna do a Western next," and sit around waitin' for a Western to come along when there's some other genre's brilliant script sitting right there.

When it comes to films, people often don't differentiate between the message of a bad central character and the message of the film itself. They are two separate things.
