To me, there are things you're good at and things you're not so good at. For some reason, I'm good at darker characters. It has to do with how you look.

At its best, life is completely unpredictable.

I've been to Chicago a lot - it's one of my favorite places. My wife is from Chicago, and I worked in the theater there a lot.

Is typecasting really a problem?

The last time I did a movie that needed a horse, I said: 'If it moves, I'm out of here.' The worst thing is, they know when you're afraid and act up accordingly. I've had them run off on me. Horses I do not like.

I got [Muhammad Ali's boxing shorts] for $40 at an auction. Nobody wanted them. I have them framed in my house.

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