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.

Pacino's always played the suffering prince. I just find that interesting.

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

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

I try to stay under the radar.

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.
