To have a successful marriage, a man must, on a fundamental level be scared shitless of his wife.

So when I told my parents I wanted to go into acting because I was flunking out of my first year of junior college, they were relieved that I had picked something other than joining the army. But I can't imagine how they had high hopes for me.

I stopped working a few years ago because I just lost a spark that I'd had before. I thought I'd just try writing, and maybe start directing, but I did it very quietly.

I decided a long time ago but sometimes it takes you 40 years to get around to doing something - and that's the truthful answer.

The truth is, I've made about 30 movies in 30 years, and I've been criticized for 30 years for not making more movies.

If you're waiting for the job, you're dead.

I don't like the fact that I have to get older so fast, but I like the fact that I'm aging so well.
