When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.

You have to do every movie one at a time. Trilogy is contrary to this ideology. My nightmare is to wake up and find myself the host of a TV series.

I've never lost a friend over work. I come from a small-town environment and I remember my childhood impressions that, if you were a conniver or a fink or whatever, everybody knew about it and you were a louse for the rest of your life. So I never lost those values in some way.

How would I like to be seen? Very endearing, charming, intelligent, handsome.

I've always understood money; it's not a big mystical thing to me.

As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.

Women are sort of like motorcycle gangs with me. They get really shy and polite. I don't know why.
