I've made movies that I thought were okay, but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think, 'I wish more people saw that' - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.

I like cats a lot. I've always liked cats. They're great company. When they eat, they always leave a little bit at the bottom of the bowl. A dog will polish the bowl, but a cat always leaves a little bit. It's like an offering.

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

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

In rehearsal you have a good accident that you can repeat.In the movies if you have a good accident you hope the camera's running.

I grew up listening to people speaking broken English. I probably picked that up. And I probably speak English almost as a second language.

I don't think I'd be a good director because people would ask me, you know, "What is it? What's going on here? Where should I put the camera?" Or, "What's my motivation?" And I would say, "Do whatever you want!"
