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.

I made three movies in 1995 and I was unhappy with all of them: Sleepers, Incognito, and Speed 2.

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

Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.

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.

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

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