Love and respect are the most important aspects of parenting, and of all relationships.

I'm interested in directing movies about situations that I've lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I've come to believe in.

By the first week of shooting, you know exactly where your film is heading based on the psychology of your director.

I don't have a burning desire to act strangely enough. I don't know that if I hadn't been an actor as a young person, I don't know that I ever would have chosen this because it's not really my personality.

Everybody reads for me. I was never weird about that. I never minded coming in and reading. They should know if I'm the right person, and I should know if I want to do a movie.

Where I have problems is when I am in the midst of doing something that I am completely focused on, and then I am asked to buy shoes or something.

But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.
