The innocence of childhood is like the innocence of a lot of animals.

Being comfortable is over-rated.

If you've done what you intended and if nobody tampered with it, then it's yours. And if people don't like it, then they just don't agree with you on that subject matter, and that's life.

There are a lot of conservative people, a lot of moderate people, Republicans, Democrats, in Hollywood. It is just that the conservative people by the nature of the word itself play closer to the vest. They do not go around hot dogging it.

For a man, once you've sired your pups, you're done.

Everything that you do is a challenge. And acting is just building up your concentration and being able to listen and to do the ridiculous.

Once you finish a film, it doesn't belong to you anymore - it belongs to the audience to interpret it the way they feel like interpreting.
