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

It's so hard to raise money for independent films and the fact of the matter is that the bigger my star or whatever is, as a result of doing bigger pictures, the easier it is for me to get money for my own projects.

I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.

People that went to art house theatre have more options, I used to go, but now think any movie can be delivered in a red envelope three months after it's released so why not watch it on my flat screen in the comfort of home.

You make a movie for 9k for the freedom it allows you.

It's an enormous wall that's built between you and your dreams. And if every day, you just chip away... It may take ten years, but eventually you just might see some light.

Actors are con men and con men are actors.
