I hate to say it, but there seems to have been some sort of dumbing down as far as movies go.

When I started in films, it never really occurred to me that I could make a career out of acting.

As much as possible, I try to encourage people to use stunt men because that is really their job.

I'm not big on Champagne, but I'd take along a bottle of Cristal to pop for when the boat comes to the rescue.

I like actors. I like their insecurities, their humor and their intelligence.

I go by the role pretty much. And I think the only genre I haven't gotten to do but I'd love to is a western, but no one has ever asked me to do that. Unfortunately they are very few and far between these days, but that is one type of film I'd love to do.

I think you need brains to do any Shakespeare with any authority. I could do Shakespeare, but not with any authority.
