The press is like a big bass, you just stick a hook in their mouth and they'll take it.

The lifeblood of my career has been independent film.

I'm a pretty quiet guy, but if people want to think of me as a lady killer, I guess that's good.

No matter what it is, if you get 10 people in the business talking about something, you get 10 different opinions, but you know, they're amazingly well informed.

My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.

Aficionado my ass...I just love to smoke cigars

Celebrity - I don't even know what that means. Obviously it's the same basic word as celebration, but I don't know what's being celebrated.
