I did some martial arts training for 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' since the character was an assassin.

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

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.

You want to make a little money, and sometimes you want to play some really great parts. Sometimes they don't always coincide, or co-exist. Sometimes you've got to do good parts for no money and... You know, I sometimes can't do movies just for the money. I really can't. I mean, I've tried. Believe me, I'd love to just take the money and run. That might just be part of the equation, but there has to be something there. You have to be somewhat creatively satisfied.

My parents were both actors my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

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

I think any good actor is an anarchist. They have to be.
