And the actors tend not to want to watch themselves very often. I'm one of those guys.

Stars don't want to have flaws. Stars like to be likable.

I know there are people, if I go into a market or a city for the first time, there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person, or the guy from 'Dumb and Dumber' or whatever movie they liked. And that's fine, it gets them in the door, but then it's my job to give them something different.

One of the more noble things the Oscars can do is pay attention to movies no one knows about. Blockbusters don't need much help.

I learned a long time ago that the show you're going to see isn't the one you have in your head. As soon as you understand that, you're going to enjoy it a lot more.

The indie world changed when the economy went south. I was frustrated with doing something, then waiting for it to come out, and sometimes it never did, or would just play in New York for 50 people. So I really wanted to try something else.

I love living in Michigan, which has been great for my kids and my family.
