You don't need tons of money to create art. You do need tons of money to be a part of show business. They are two different things.

There are some actors that are so gifted, that move you in such a way that every time you see their names again, you go and pay another ticket because you want to have that experience again.

As an actor, you know when you've got great material in front of you. When you're working, you think, 'Is this the one? The one that everyone will respond to and be moved by?' You pray that you have told the story well... that your peers will see it and audiences will love it.

I grew up in the theater. I began my career at 3. That was the first time I stepped onto a provisional stage.

I try to be as clear as I can be.

I'm an old-fashioned guy.

When you do a film, all you want is to make the best film possible. You don't think about Oscars. But it's really flattering. Please, bring it on!
