I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.

I said to Tennessee, this thing is becoming the Marlon Brando show.

Never underestimate the narcissism of a writer.

I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.

I like directors who come on the set and create something that's a little dangerous, difficult or unusual.

I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.

I think there should be collaboration, but under my thumb.
