A fool and his money are quickly parted.

I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.

Yeah I loved, as a kid growing up, I loved science-fiction.

You have to find your tone and work within that to make it as real so the audience can really engage in the story you're telling.

I confessed to Mike [Cimino] a couple of days before we shot. I was like, "What am I doing here, Mike?" And Mike just looked at me, in that very directorial manor, took a long pause, and he said, "You know the game tag?" And I said, "Yeah." And he said, "Well, you're it." That was some of the best direction I think I've ever received.

Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.

I don't think I ever went down that movie star path. I always enjoy taking a 90-degree turn from the last thing I did.
