Acting is an animal thing, not an intellectual thing.

I think great movies have to have some great moments in them to bring them up to that level.

I've always told my son Scott the same thing: Don't rush into anything, because there's gonna be a lot of fish in the sea. You can be one of the people that's lucky enough not to become a loser two and three and four times over like people do, just by being a little more patient.

If you can make a good picture that actually has some substance, that's doubly good nowadays 'cause most everybody else is trying to address how many CGI plates we're gonna do, what little being is gonna come in from another asteroid.

If somebody's dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they're gonna have to take what they get.

The only reason I ever thought about retiring from the front part of the camera as opposed to the back is sometimes you think, "How many roles are there for someone my age?"

If you're afraid to take risks in anything in life, it's just boredom.
