I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

I think thats what I really liked about Narc: My character has a real operatic range in a way that older movies used to have.

You know how many movies it took Tom Cruise before he was making 5, 6 million dollars? It probably took a billion dollars in box office.

It's interesting to help someone find their vocabulary. There would not have been a De Niro without a Scorsese.

Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.

Violence doesn't seem to bother people anymore - they're inured to it. And I think it has a lot to do with the violence in movies and video games - it doesn't bother people as much. I'm not so sure it evokes a reaction anymore.

When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they're in... it didn't used to be that way.
