There is something intrinsically, systemically wrong with white, western culture, and if we don't fix it, it won't continue.

My definition of a character actor is - they never get the girl.

A vital film that needed to be made at this point in history and has been made magnificently.

It's a wonderful thing as time goes by, to be with someone who looks into your face when you've gotten old and still sees what you think you look like.

I prefer to have playback, but sometimes, you can't have that under most circumstances. First, it is expensive because you need a playback operator and secondly, it threatens a lot of directors. I only watch my performance. I see what is necessary for me so that I can see it right at the moment and I can fix it. That appeals to me a great deal.

Usually, I'm the kind of actor where you show me once or twice, I can do it. I don't do it creatively, but I know how to do the process.

First lead [in a movie] requires a different approach like trying not to give it all away in the first scene. It is a skill, a learned skill.
