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

I'm not much of an analyzer or a psychologist.

Obvious things like The Deer Hunter. After that happened, the scripts got better. Opportunities happened.

It's what actors call a big, juicy part, when you're a leading man. I don't get a lot of those. I get a lot of supporting things.

I don't even like holding them. Whenever I hold a gun, I want to get it out of my hand as quick as possible.

Older actors, and women in particular, are getting more opportunities. It pleases me, its very good news for us. They say that people are living longer, and maybe it's just that there's more of us out there.

My own way of thinking is very conservative, very linear and not particularly imaginative, but if I look for things in different places, sometimes things happen.
