Good directors say, Here's where the play is. They stand by the heart of the matter. Some of them stand beside it.

I'm too old to be governed by fear of dumb people.

The bad guys dont always get punished and the good guys are not necessarily pure.

If you're going to be born ugly and be an actor - the least they can do is let you play Lincoln.

That's where I'd like to be: when the business says here's a good actor who is marketable so we can use him. Just that.

I don't think there's anything to be desired in a bunch of people chasing you around, trying to get a piece of your clothing.

I dont think playing a villain is my greatest talent.
