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

Training Day was such a Hollywood movie; I didn't like it.

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.

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

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.

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

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