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

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.

It's easy to be a movie star. The shoes are already there. They just put you in the shoes.

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.

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

I try to stay under the radar.
