I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.

If you start acting and you start thinking about and worrying about what other people are going to say about it, you'll never really fully commit to who it is and what it is that you're playing.

The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.

I'm a big believer that the script is your bible.

You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.

I do certain things that, maybe, nobody else knows why I'm doing. But it's all - it all has to do with - to grow as an actor.

To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States.
