I was quiet, a loner. I was one of those children where, if you put me in a room and gave me some crayons and a pencils, you wouldn't hear from me for nine straight hours. And I was always drawing racing cars and rockets and spaceships and planes, things that were very fast that would take me away.

But you see, I have played more good guys than I have played villains.

I got obsessed with classical music, I got obsessed with Chopin, with playing the piano.

I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in 'Batman 2'.

It's becoming increasingly harder and harder; there's no such thing as independent film anymore. There aren't any, they don't exist. In the old days you could go and get a certain amount of the budget with foreign sales, now everybody wants a marketable angle.

You choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.

You always hope that the cloak of inspiration will fall, and you'll be O.K.
