I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.

I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.

This is your life, Larry. Learn to enjoy what you've got.

My career is going better now than when I was younger. Now I get the part. Back then, I'd get the girl.

I don't work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.

I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.

At age 11, I went to a Jewish school. I speak Yiddish. I'm Church of England Protestant. My father was Catholic, and my mother was Protestant. My wife is a Muslim.
