For me really good acting is about subtext.

Very often on films, even without a producer credit, I'll be involved, very early on. I want to be there as the thing is taking shape.

The financial implode is bound to be reflected in the movies that are being made, there's no question.

I would never give anybody any advice about anything.

A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.

I'm competitive with myself, not at the expense of everything around me. I never wanted to be a movie star. I just wanted to act.

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.
