I don't care what other people think. I don't think it matters.

I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid, but my father always told me - occasionally while striking me - that I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. And I think there's great truth in that.

I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.

Reviews are destructive by their very nature.

The most evocative thing to me is probably when a writer and a group of performers can collectively put together something compelling that asks the really simple question: 'How do we live?'

My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.

Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.
