How much do you have to pay someone to be in a George Clooney/Alexander Payne film? NOTHING!! Because everyone in the world wants to be a part of it. Therefore you pay nothing. And that continues until you become something they need... I'm not that kind of actor. I'm blue collar and very replaceable.

Hollywood used to be run by artists and people who loved artists... people who wanted to make movies for all the right reasons. For the love. The Art. To tell stories. Yes to make money as well, but it was about both. Now I feel, it's mostly about bottom line and making money.

I think everyone is given drama, by virtue of the fact that we all have drama in our lives, but not everyone can make people laugh.

Nothing would make my kids happier than to do another movie.

I learned a lot, in terms of inspiring people. It became very clear to me, very early on, that directing a movie was a lot like being in a theater company.

So much of Hollywood is about who the people you work with are.

Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.
