There's something really vulnerable about playing something that you like for someone. You don't know what their reaction will be.

I made two movies very young, and then I had trouble getting a movie made, and so - which was both, I think, a plus and a minus. It was a minus because it made me unhappy.

It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.

I don't like when you necessarily know that this is the end of the movie. I like when a movie ends abruptly. You go through this, and some of the scenes are uncomfortable, and some are funny - and then suddenly it's over.

I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.

I do think it's a very good way to describe what a great actor does. You're both acknowledging the authority of the director and the necessity of the actor to push back and find their own voice.

I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.
