I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.

The way I see it, when I go out as an actor, it should be on a type of film I'm never going to do as a director.

I am a big fan of the old Howard Hawks films from the 30s and 40s, I was a big Hepburn and Tracey fan for a while and Woody Allen films that are a very different kind of romantic comedy.

The stigma of the straight-to-DVD thing is over.

That's my advice for indie filmmakers: Marry a supermodel.

But at a certain point, you have to take your influence and find your own voice if you want to become a relevant artist.

I'm always aware of who my core audiences are and I serve that niche.
