There's a fine line between the Method actor and the schizophrenic.

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

I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people's minds.

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.

Feel like real time unfolding. It's going to smack of reality and feel as real as it can ... The buildings themselves aren't (shown) ... The movie's about what happened amongst this handful of men when the buildings came down.

I got into film acting because I wanted to be James Dean. We lost him at a very young age - he was only 24 - but I’m 51 going on 52, so there's only so many times you can act like James Dean. I had to find new ways of expressing myself that kept me fascinated with film performance.

When I act, I hear it like music. In my head, I hear the dialogue like music.
