I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Who's to say anybody's even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that I've done, people still recite lines to me, even 20 years later.

I think any actor can probably identify with being a professional liar. You don't always look at yourself that way, but I know a lot of days I do.

I think everything has some politics to it. It's just whether or not it admits to it. Politics is weird. I don't even know what that means any more.

The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.

Sometimes you meet people and you feel like you've known them for a long time.

It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff.
