It's fun to slap people around.

I am the least qualified person to comment on anyone playing the role of Batman since I so terribly destroyed the part.

The simple truth is that everyone has an opinion, everyone has the right to voice it, and they should if they want to.

Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.

Directing is really exciting. In the end, it's more fun to be the painter than the paint.

Any topical subject, if it's Hollywood, will be a couple of years later because you've got to write it, produce it and distribute it, so automatically you're never going to be right on the cutting edge of stories.

As you get older and ease your way into being a character actor you have to be comfortable with where you are in life and career, and I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing - working on projects I'm proud of.
