I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.

You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money.

People keep trying to make me a movie star but they just don't understand. I'm not a movie star, I'm an actor.

Over the past 10 years of being famous, my relationship with the camera has not been a pleasant one.

People are sheepish when they approach me.

There are a lot of good stories out there, but I haven't found too many great scripts.

Tarantino's movies, I really enjoy, certainly, and when I was 19 and 20, I was really into them.
