When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they're in... it didn't used to be that way.

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

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.

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

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

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

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