You asked me my favorite question: What happened and what did you learn from being under contract to MGM? And the answer is I know how to make movies. I understand how to do that. I've been doing that my whole life. It's just easier to raise the money yourself and then hire yourself. It's possible if you reduce your own budget a little.

John Milius and Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone - those guys are consummate filmmakers. They believe that you don't talk it, you show it. So when I find a role now, I try to find a visual way to tell what the character is about rather than trying to speak about it.

Woody [Allen] is a fascinating character to be around. You don't really know what he's going to want. You're on your toes, but you're on your heels too, if you know what I mean.

We don't really know what Iran are capable of when the gun is put to their head

It flew towards the roof of the net like a Wurlitzer

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.

Women don't like men who know they're good looking. They'd much prefer a man who doesn't know he's good looking.
