If I were a serious person, I'd probably have a real job.

If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.

There's a real simple analogy. You have to perceive it from the ground up. You have to lay a firm foundation, then every step becomes part of a logical process.

I think you have to be very careful with effects that they don't overpower the story with the visual element.

I knew that there was an aspect to this story that was beyond the typical and that it was something very important about America, about our culture, and about bringing a story to a new generation that perhaps didn't know the details of it, (and) hadn't had the visceral experience that this film is [42].

My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.

I have relationships with people I'm working with, based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere, but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.
