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.

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

I never turned down a movie because they wouldn't give me enough money.

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

I think thats what I really liked about Narc: My character has a real operatic range in a way that older movies used to have.

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.
