When you're playing the good guy, you want to find the dirty parts - and when you're playing the bad guy, you want to find the vulnerability.

When I met Harrison Ford I just kept thinking: "At what point do I break out my Star Wars memorabilia? When is it OK to have him sign something? Will he? And will I look like a total idiot!" The only time I ever got anything from another actor to sign was for my brother or my kids because both of my brothers are die-hard Star Wars fans.

In a normal movie, you'd never see one guy talk for an entire page, whether good or bad.

For me, I always have to establish a reality for the character. In very actor-y terms, you just have to understand his reality.

I've got whole years of unfortunate clothing in '80s.

When you shoot a movie so quickly you can't really afford to shoot a bunch of extra footage because you don't have that luxury.

I've always had good relationships with directors. I'm one of those people where, if there's a good idea coming from the sound guy, I'll take it. Filmmaking is a collaborative effort, whether it's a first-time director or it's Mike Nichols. I think that's the standard that the great ones set.
