The eiderdown of this 2-0 lead is a lot more comfortable than the blanket of 1-0.

Treat [Williams] and I have remained sort of like war buddies. He's a good guy. It doesn't matter who is the wingman, you just know that you work good together.

I found a movie called “Light in the Piazza.” I finally made the movie with Olivia de Havilland and myself, but initially there was no way I could make that movie, so I went to work on becoming that character. They told me they had an Italian [actor], and I said, “That’s a Cuban boy!” His name was Tomas Milan. I thought that’s the craziest thing I’d ever heard: They have a Cuban who’s going to play an Italian, and I can’t play it because I’m an American.

I've never turned down an autograph request. I've never not taken a picture with someone.

I realized that the studios didn't really understand their own system.

I went in to play the most corrupt politician I could possibly think of [in "The Congressman"] and to do it with a certain kind of charm.

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.
