I always figure from the cradle to the grave, we all have our individual journeys, and maybe my journey was a positive one and I accomplished certain things without stepping on too many toes.

I like to do things that I develop from the ground up.

It's like kids playing house: 'You play the father, I'll play the mother.' You know, you dress up, you play, they pay, you go home. It's a game - acting's a game.

The most solitary I ever felt was when I was living in New York. I used to live in Enrico Caruso's old apartment, and I had a special staircase that took me up to the roof. There was nobody up there.

Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.

When I knew nothing, I thought I could do anything.

If you don't daydream and kind of plan things out in your imagination, you never get there. So you have to start someplace.
