I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me - spiritually and financially.

I try to encourage actors to work harder off screen because that's where you find things.

Be careful what you ask for because when you pray for rain, you have to deal with the mud as well.

If you don't love your fellow man, women, person, then you don't have anything. If you don't treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated that to me is the fundamental message.

Don't be afraid to fail big, to dream big.

That's where you can find things and modulate your performance and give the other actors something fresh to respond to. We've probably all worked with actors who when it's suddenly your close up, they get sleepy. I don't like that. It's selfish acting, and I won't tolerate it.

The only reason I'm acting in films I direct is to get the money to make them, quite frankly, it's not what I'm interested in doing.
