If I was coming into the business today, I wouldn't be in it. Knowing what I know, absolutely not.

I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.

You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.

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.

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.

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