Good acting is good acting, however you learn it. Some people who haven't studied are amazing. Some people like Leonardo DiCaprio are naturally gifted - he's learned technique by working with people early on.

I copied everything I did in Galaxy Quest from Bill Paxton in Aliens, I owe him some credit.

You hit 41 and you don't burn calories like you used to.

I remember being very influenced by 'Taxi Driver', and also Tommy Lee Jones in 'Coal Miner's Daughter' a little bit.

I've done so many independents for so many years. Leads that nobody's seen.

I'm not going to just do a dumb zombie movie, although I love zombie movies.

In theatre you can't ad lib, so you want to pick really good material, like David Mamet or Shakespeare or whatever. You want to be really careful about what you do. But in the movies, you do have more wiggle-room. You do have more opportunities to improvise. It's fun to improvise, but I still think it's better to have a great script.
