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

Do you think I want to be the one lone voice against the Hollywood liberal establishment? It's not going to do me any good.

The lifeblood of my career has been independent film.

I'm absolutely gonna win it, because I'm ruthless. I sit at the poker table and my job is to destroy people.

I was able to lean on people for favors and things to help out because their budget was so low. It was half of what John Travolta's perk package is on a film. Our whole budget was half of what his staff makes on a film.

Just curious. Does the president of the United States have any advice for other teenage boys in America? Wounded warriors, for example . . .

So you can say whatever you want and quote me however you want about politics and make the next payday, and that's fine because I'm making that deal with you, but just mention the movie along the way, OK?
