Don't look at me like I've gotten old or something like that.

An awful lot of good movies have gone unrecognized, and an awful lot of bad movies have had tremendous recognition. As long as you keep that in mind, you are never really disappointed.

At Waco, was there really an urgency to get those people out of the compound at that particular time? Was the press going to make it look heroic for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms? At Ruby Ridge, there was one guy in a cabin at the top of the mountain. Was it necessary for federal agents to go up there and shoot a 14-year-old in the back and shoot a woman with a child in her arms? What kind of mentality does that?

If you cast a film incorrectly, then you're going to be fighting an uphill battle.

I'm anti - the pussy generation. Not to be confused with pussy.

My whole life has been one big improvisation.

I'm not a chick-flick enthusiast.
