People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.

Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.

I think American films right now are suffering from an excess of scale. Lots of movies we're seeing now are more akin to video games than stories about human life and relationships. Twelve- to 20-year-olds are maybe the largest economic force in the US movie business. I'm not a very nostalgic person - but I enjoy a good story.

I don't want to be a movie star. I want to be in movies that are stars.

I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so nothing of what I was studying seemed to fit. I know now that I should have taken advantage of that time and that I missed a great deal of the opportunity to educate myself.

I've never been bothered by proximity to special effects and I've never felt disadvantaged by them. They're all part of a movie, and when the movie's under control I don't feel upstaged by them.

I never followed baseball very much. As a kid, I never followed sports.
