I liked it because it was such a dangerous script and showed just what human beings are capable of. Here was a movie in which Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, who always win in every movie they ever do, simply don't win. I felt that was outrageous for a commercial movie.

I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.

Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions youd rather not know the answers to.

I terribly miss - we all miss, I think - somebody like the great producer Irving Thalberg. He had a foot in both camps: He understood us creative people. And he understood the money people.

Am I now supposed to go on Oprah and cry and tell you my deepest, darkest secrets because you want to know?

If there is one thing I object to, its actors talking about how tough their jobs are.

Sometimes I'll be flipping through the channels and I'll see a movie I'm in. And I'll probably stop and think, 'Sure, I'll watch this.'
