There's a tacit agreement today that the white male is the only legitimate target for any and all satire, criticism, and so forth. And we pretty much just accept it.

Everybody said I was good, but being known and not having a big film success is almost tougher than being completely new. It just kind of turned my life around and was definitely a highlight.

Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him.

I don't want to direct a movie as good as Antonioni, or Kubrick, or Polanski, or whoever. I want it to be my own. I think I've got the seed of it and, what's more, that I can make movies that are different and informed by my taste.

I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do

A lot of people can't remember things because they weren't actually there to begin with - they don't take it all in.

I have mainly been interested in acting. I think it's a great job, a fine way to live your life.
