I've never committed to a role without a script.

I just want to tell stories that have an impact on people. Somebody needs to have an impact because people are lost. People are really lost.

I'm voraciously looking to express myself in my work. I love my work.

I just think that I'll never have plastic surgery if I'm not in front of the camera. If you make your living selling this thing, which is the way you look, then maybe you do it. But trust me, the minute I'm directing or producing and not starring, I would never even think of it.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

I've never had a manager, and I've had various agents, and, fortunately or unfortunately, I've been blessed.

I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.
