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

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

Having kids is the most innately positive thing that anyone can do.

For a long time, I was afraid to be alone. I had to learn how to be alone. And there are still times when I think, Uh-oh! I gotta talk to somebody here or I'm gonna go crazy! But I like to be alone. Now I do. I really do. There's a big luxury in solitude.

I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.

Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.

There has long been a bemoaning of the lack of opportunity to make films that are anything but explosions or the ladling on the pea soup or whatever you want to call it. You can hardly make a movie today where somebody isn't a murderer or a rapist or, if it's a "Fried Green Tomatoes" that isn't some wistful thing on this, that or the other thing.
