How do you rebel in a family of rebels? That's the age-old question. I guess I could have by not going into the arts, but the thing is, I couldn't do anything else.

I've really had good luck working with younger actors. Every younger actor that I have worked with has always been really on top of their game and fascinating to watch.

I would love to work with Tim Burton. I think we would be very good together.

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

I actually enjoy working with green screen, because I can imagine all that stuff happening, and I really cut my teeth on a movie I made called "Adaptation" where I had to imagine four-page dialogue scenes with my twin brother, who was nothing more than a tennis ball and a gas stand.

To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal, to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new.

I always add a year to myself, so I'm prepared for my next birthday. So when I was 39, I was already 40.
