Then in came this script with another very low offer, and another drug addict and a depressing and difficult part to play. I thought, 'Why should I put myself through that for hardly any money?'

Everything gets old if you do it often enough.

To me, it's a very moral film. If my son were a teenager now, I would drag him to see it.

When you recognize what your talents are, a happy life is developing them to the greatest extent you can.

I do like to work with young directors because it's such a difficult business that I think after directors have been around a while sometimes, not always, but sometimes their passion gets siphoned off because they get hurt.

It's a sin to have your films not to make money.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.
