Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.

I should have done it years ago. It's amazing I didn't even want cigarettes anymore.

My mother is a professor of early childhood education. When I was two she would say she knew I was going to be an actor.

I think it's still hard for me to turn down work if it's really good because for so many years I was desperate to get a job and couldn't, so I think it's anathema for me to turn down work if I think it's really good.

Maybe if we sit out for the next few years and let Clint Eastwood get a little experience, he's going to be a good director.

For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.

If you're just an actor you're reactive. You're saying, "Well, I hope Hollywood gives me a role, or gives me a chance at a role," whereas if you can generate your own content, then you can go where you want to go.
