I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we - we own this country. We - we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.

Whatever the drama of the story is, you have to be true to it.

The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.

Everybody wants to make something they think is a surefire winner, though nobody knows what a surefire winner is, in my opinion.

Don Siegel last advice to me was 'Don't short yourself.' He said the tendency is when an actor's directing is to kind of you want to work on everybody else but you're going to short yourself. He said, take the time to do a good job with yourself so that you're satisfied with it.

When I see a story, I ask: is this something I'd like to be in? Is this something I'd like to see? And if I'd like to see it, would I like to tell it?

I don't look at my life too much. I'm always looking forward, not backward.
