I never go overbudget on my movies.

The smaller films just take a longer period of time to build their fan base because people don't see them as soon as they come out in the theater. They see them, after a period of years.

I'm a control freak. Totally.

I have consciously not taken the role of a gangster, which has been offered to me far too many times.

Sometimes you can't even find the director on a movie set. Sometimes you don't want to find the director on a movie set.

Like Joseph Mitchell, I would scour the streets of New York and find little pieces of what other people think of as junk - and collect it.

If you feel safe then you can go wherever you want to go as an actor.
