I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.

I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen.

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.

People come up to me all the time in New York. Not for autographs, but to talk about movies, often in a very scientific way.

I remember a few years ago I was sitting at home with my wife watching the Oscars. I was sitting on the couch and suddenly heard my voice. It's thrilling. It's interesting that a lot of guys do me. I have a friend who does me on his answering machine so when I call him I talk to myself. I don't really know what that comes from. It doesn't seem to me that I speak in a strange way. My wife says Kevin's (Spacey) the best.

I come from a show-business family, so wanting to become an actor never crossed my mind. It was just a part of my life.

I have a friend of mine who does me on his answering machine, and when I call him, I answer. It's pretty strange.
