When I was a kid, my parents gave me piano lessons and guitar lessons for a while, but I was never very good at it. I have big, sort of awkward hands. It's hard to keep going when you don't get any better.

If you do movies that are modestly budgeted, the way they finance them is they figure out how they can sell them.

Death is wonderful because you can't think about it. How are you gonna think about it?

Sometimes a certain innocence is good, but not about yourself.

My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.

The best thing for me is, when I'm not working, is to be at home and to have a script or two scripts is better, and to be just walking around the house and just thinking about the lines.

You hear about things happening to people - they slip in the bathtub, fall down the stairs, step off the curb in London because they think that the cars come the other way - and they die. You feel you want to die making an effort at something; you don't want to die in some unnecessary way.
