What is news? It's hard to quantify. Certainly news has changed completely, and the morning shows are not really designed to bring you the news, except to tell you what happened overnight, and the rest of it is a kind of magazine mentality - a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It's harder to be an educated and informed citizen.

What I hate is the loss of anonymity.

I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'

I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.

Some actors couldn't figure out how to withstand the constant rejection. They couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I had never even thought about doing something that I'd never done before or proving anything.

What I think is important for a young person is to figure out how to be useful and not be so concentrated on themselves, but to see what they can do to make the overall collaboration with all the other people involved in a movie work better.
