I don't know if my wife left me because of my drinking or I started drinking 'cause my wife left me.

There is a misperception, if you will, in critical response or even in Hollywood, that I can only do exaggerated characters. Or what they would call over-the-top performances. Well, this is completely false.

I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.

I think on some level, all of us have a little bit of belief in the possibility of different energies and forces and things like that. Otherwise, we wouldn't be afraid of them. Or there wouldn't be so many movies about them.

The only way the devil really exists in my opinion... is in interactions with people who don't walk the walk and talk the talk; people who act one way, or talk one way and then do another. Those are the deals with the devil. I don't see the devil as somebody who is a horned, goateed guy with a fork in his hand that's there to continuously stab me and send my soul to hell. I don't see it that way at all.

I want people to discover my movies, and however they choose to receive it is their business.

I do like characters that have flaws, some sort of pathos to them that they are trying to sort out.
