I dont have a problem with fame. I got into this business intending to be very successful, but I wanted it to be at my price.

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

I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement.

It's easy to be a movie star. The shoes are already there. They just put you in the shoes.

I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.

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 actors talk about research, they're just patting themselves on the back.
