A lot of times, mainstream critics are much tougher on small, independent movies because they can be.

I am one of those people who is not very patient in the makeup chair. I have been offered movies like 'Planet of the Apes' and stuff like 'The Grinch Who Stole Christmas' and I turned them down.

I like how pure the expression is in music. You can go straight to the heart of an audience rather than through their brain.

I think just getting a movie done is an accomplishment in itself.

I'm not of the manor born; I've never felt entitled in that way. I just came to Hollywood to be an actor. All that lifestyle stuff is something to be managed.

Actors in general are pretty good bullshit artists; we're good at just chewing the fat, interacting with people. So we're good ambassadors for movies.

I love that people can't place me. They don't know my name. That's 'mission accomplished' in my world.
