When I interview somebody, I look at their resume to see what they've done, who they've worked with, and how many times. If they've gotten repeat work. Those are the kinds of actors I want to hire.

Twelve to 15 years of acting school, and I am being a bird.

When I got the script for Memento, I read it and I got killed off on page one and I fired my agent.

I think one of the geniuses of Bound and The Matrix and Memento is the complete collaboration of the effort. There were no rotten apples.

In a sluggish economy, never, ever f*** with another man's livelihood.

When you work for Bruckheimer, you don't get it any better. He's the ultimate producer. I've had the good fortune of working with some great producers over the years.

The greatest leading man, in my opinion, will always be Cary Grant.
