I think that the best movies are made, not from a point of view that depends on your personal history, whether it's the color of your skin or the politics that you had or the place that you come from, but from a point of view of an understanding of human nature, an understanding of history, and an understanding of what motivates people.

The third time you say a thing it sounds like a lie.

Hollywood's got its own particular environment.

There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.

An actor only has his own understanding and experience to work with.

My older kids are fantastic people. It can't be the result of my influence on them.

The only thing hard about being an actor is being out of work. So, when you get a job - that part ain't hard at all.
