I just know what it's like being an East Coast person, being from New Jersey.

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

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.

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

I've done a few movies where I really liked the project, but I wasn't sure about the director, and I still did it and my instinct was right, in the beginning. Even though it was a good story, the guy still didn't really know what he was doing.

I think that if you can achieve a balance, then you appease a lot of yourself and your career and what it takes to maintain in this business for a while

If I think something's funny, I think it's funny.
