I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.

I lost a friend I was blessed to have. My thoughts are with the family of President Chavez and the people of Venezuela.

The major studios are by and large banks, and they give you what is by and large a loan to make a movie. Like banks, they want their money back plus.

I don't see myself as a different guy than I was ten years ago. I don't have aspirations to be. It's really about where you're putting your energies. That's changing a lot.

I think we all have light and dark inside us.

It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.

Sense of self, and the way one shares it, is perhaps the most valuable and poetic gift in the arsenal of one's life and craft.
