Drama usually has some sort of intense conflict.

I've taken advantage of a few breaks that came along and moved along with them.

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.

I just don't want to copy the current trends or do movies for teenagers. I want people to get more out of movies.

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.

It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.

I am not a regret type person. I don't believe in regrets. Lots of things you would do differently if you'd do it again, but you don't do it again, so you don't think about it. But that goes for life in general. You're only dealing with the knowledge you have at that time.
