I think it's dangerous to get into ideas of planning careers.

I was not a very fearful kid, really.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I always used to say to myself, I'm going to die of lung cancer. That's the choice I'm making.

I think anybody who bets on horses and says they win is probably a liar.

No matter who the character is and how big their role, that each person in the story is a human being and deserves respect. Even if they're in the story for ten seconds, I didn't want you to just see them as this entity passing through that's serving all of the other people.
