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

I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement.

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.

I have all this time between projects, and I'm not so sure that's a healthy thing. It's scary, because at 36 I'm woefully unqualified for anything else.

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