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

Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred.

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

Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.

Whatever character you're playing you have to complete the entire interior infrastructure, whatever it is - but what gets divulged or what people completely understand depends on the script and what you decide to show. But you have to know it.

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

I dont have a problem with fame. I got into this business intending to be very successful, but I wanted it to be at my price.
