It's very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made.

Because if I don't know my lines, I really don't know what I'm doing.

Also for me it was different because I play a lot of villains and in this one I play a dad and I play a good guy, basically. He's the Secretary of the Treasury. I never had a job like that.

If you play a king, it's better if everybody treats you like a king.

A good actor is like a racehorse or a Ferrari. If a cylinder is missing on a Chevy, it's doesn't matter that much. But if something's not working right on a Ferrari, it makes a big difference. It's the three percent that makes the difference between good and great. It's a fine line. If you're not there, it's very painful.

I'm better off not socializing. I make a better impression if I'm not around.

I have boxes full of stuff. Most actors do have a trunk full of stuff, paintings or scripts. It never comes to anything.
