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.

As actors, we react to the material that's out there, and I probably just react more strongly to things that I feel will have some social value.

The better the actor, the less you know about his life. I mean, nobody's better than De Niro and you don't know anything about him, right?

Oftentimes when I'm deciding to do a movie, the main thing is really, that I look at, is the director. I've come to feel that more and more. The more movies I've done and the older I've - the more experience I have, I always knew it was a director's medium, and I always said that.

I'm always cautious about overstepping any boundaries. At the end of the day, it's a director's medium, and if they don't want to hear from me I just step back.

Fame is really strange. One day you're not famous, and then the next day you are, and the odd thing is that you know intellectually that nothing in the world is different. What mattered to you yesterday are the same things that matter today, and the rules all still apply - yet everyone looks at you differently.
