My dad [...] sent me a text saying, 'You know who you should play? Columbo. That's your Academy Award.'

Commercials that are geared towards kids. I think they should just, like, wipe them out.

Literally, I think I've quit acting three or four times, only for a few days. Maybe for a few weeks.

Most great parts for guys in wheelchairs tend to go to actors who walk.

Even if my movies weren't big blockbusters, directors generally liked me, so they would fight for me.

No great undertaking ever looks like it's winnable. That only comes later and only if you are lucky and are willing to fight and have a group of folks around you that are willing to do the same thing, too.

Trying to find the story within the story was hard. Filmmaking is such a reductive process in a strange way and you keep whittling away to what is essential.
