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.

I always adored Cary Grant. I was fascinated by him. But I could never get too close to him.

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 can tan quickly. What takes people hours to do, I can tan in half an hour.

There's so many characters they [studios] are not letting me play. And I thought, "Why don't you just go produce it yourself?".

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

It's always amazing to me the idiosyncrasies people end up disliking others for.
