I think everybody has a little bit of an asshole inside of them.

I've been playing the father of teenagers for years. People always thought that I was 40 when I was 26. Once you lose your hair, they're like "Oh! He's really old now."

The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.

Every character, no matter who you play, at times is pretending to be somebody else. People have a public face and a private face.

Big Night and The Impostors are both things that I wrote.

As a director you have to be careful you don't over-design the film. You have to be careful that the period aspect does not take over.

As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.
