We are going as fast as we can as soon as we can. We're in a race against time, until we run out of money.

I'm certainly not as tough as people think. I'm not a fighter and so forth. I'd just as soon go home.

A man needs a private life. With no ability to have a private life, one thing leads to another, and before you know it we have Bill and Monica. We need to get real about things. Humans are humans. Why should we expect more?

I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.

You can follow the action, which gets you good pictures. You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or, you can follow the money, which nine times out of ten will get you closer to the truth.

The first role I ever played I had the lead and it's pretty much stayed that way, though people take great relish in calling me a character actor, which I am. There are a lot of short parts I could play, but I only do them when they are like this ("A Few Good Men"), central to the idea of the movie.

That's what I like about the movie business: you're always in contact with wonderful and interesting people.
