My entire career is contemporary based, not by choice, but just by character. So, all the movies I've done, except for one in 40 years, are contemporary. But I never did an effects movie. So, I'm also a producer and I was really curious about how this whole thing went together.

Someone reminded me I once said, 'Greed is good.' Now it seems it's legal.

It's a phenomenon that I see with young actors - a lot of American speaking parts going to British actors.

A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.

Suddenly you've worked yourself up to the top of the pecking order and you say to yourself, okay, this is going to be fun.

You have to make entertaining movies. But like a good meal, it's nice to have a little food for thought after you walk out of the theater rather than just wiling away a couple of hours.

When you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move.
