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.

I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If Id wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasnt worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.

I don't find movies interesting. I just want to do the movies that made me interested in getting into movies, and they're few and far between.

Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred.

I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.

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.

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