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

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.

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

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.

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.

Violence doesn't seem to bother people anymore - they're inured to it. And I think it has a lot to do with the violence in movies and video games - it doesn't bother people as much. I'm not so sure it evokes a reaction anymore.
