Working at a job that you hate. Having a career and a life that you have no passion for. That's hell.

It's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.

I, for one, am not nearly as engaged when I'm looking at something that's been completely drawn up on a computer that replaces anything that's in real time and real space. It just engages me all the less, rather than all the more.

I had an opportunity to be in Frank's [Sinatra] circle, but I couldn't take advantage of it because I couldn't get over how awed I was by him. It was so uncomfortable for me because he meant so much to me, but I just couldn't be myself, so I fled rather than having those great nights hanging out.

Fearless people are interesting to watch.

I'll walk through fire to do what I do because the movie business, when it's right, is the coolest art form ever invented.

I like playing interesting people, I like playing slightly twisted people. I like playing people who have large appetites who are kind of a bit larger than life.
