Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him.

I do better on the first three takes; I won't be better at 20 takes.

Doing funny scary is something that is rarely good and rarely works, and it's also something that's incredibly hard to market.

I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again - I just have to find a story I want to tell.

Some people have therapy, some people are alcoholics or they're in AA. Some people jump out of planes on weekends or find ways to release this kind of thing. And for me, it's acting. I find acting very therapeutic for whatever it is.

I always watch rushes. They give me a sense of whether I'm going in the right direction. You work hard and hopefully get encouragement from what you see.

I felt as if I was the brunt of some massive joke at my expense: Can you believe this loser can be connected to Marlon Brando and Katharine Hepburn? But through the years I have learned to tolerate and sometimes embrace the idea. People have asked me if I consider it an honour. Well, all it indicates is that I've been in a lot of movies with a lot of people. And besides that there are plenty of other actors that would work.
