The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

There's something to play if there's conflict going on. Whatever that conflict is, that's where drama is; if the character is grappling with something you've got something to play, there's layers to it.

I've been very fortunate with the scripts I've had and the people I worked with.

I find sometimes that if you do too many takes, it starts to become meaningless to me. It is hard to sustain it for me. I don't want to do too many.

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

I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.

I did it for the money. But its not worth much if you cant face yourself in the mirror. Respect is the ultimate currency.
