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

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

I think the fact that I grew up in show business had a real effect on my personality. If you were born in New York during the golden age of television, and you grew up on Broadway, that marks you.

Can I confess something? I tell you this as an artist, I think you'll understand. Sometimes when I'm driving on the road at night I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The flames rising out of the flowing gasoline.

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

I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about.

I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.
