And I kind of feel that I have a responsibility to the people that invest their time and money with me to show up on the set every day and do the best of which I am capable.

I feel that my job is to create an atmosphere where creative people can do their best work.

I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.

So I've had really great assistant directors for my last seven movies.

I think all great actors - and I don't classify myself as one of them, incidentally - but I think all great actors listen well and I've learned that from a lot of the very good actors with whom I've worked - to really listen to what people say.

One of the other things I think that I've been able to do in my life, is to listen well

The first thing I can really tell you is I really love the work.
