It's not ideal to have three films coming out at once.

I've worked with Woody Allen twice and he was like, "Whatever you want to change, it's up to you. If you want to change the words, make them your own."

'Ides of March' I did for scale - scale as a director, scale as an actor, scale as a writer.

I don't believe in heaven and hell. I don't know if I believe in God. All I know is that as an individual, I won't allow this life - the only thing I know to exist - to be wasted.

You have to remember that in the microcosm of Cincinnati, Ohio, through northern Kentucky, my father was a big star, still is. So that made my sister and me really visible. Everybody knew us, talked about us.

I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film.

Growing old on screen is not for the faint of heart.
