I look at scripts as good or bad. If it's bad, it better pay a lot of money.

I've developed a self-discipline since the time I was a child.

I consume an enormous number of books, but they're always on a particular subject because I'm obsessive.

After I got out of the studio system, I was completely [broke] for the 30th time; they said I’d never work again. So I’m going to go and produce those movies that they wouldn’t let me do.

I never took the work less than serious, my work ethic is ingrained in me. But I've always had a sense of humor about myself.

When you hear Treat's [ Williams] doing a movie, or you'd like to work with Treat again, you hope the script is good. And then you find out the script is good. You go and you do it for the fun of it. And you feel like you can be proud of something.

I'm not saying it's safe to go sit out in the sun all day but I don't believe that sun is bad for you.
