I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.

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.

I think it's important to have a good sense of humor and joke around with your kids. That's what I do a lot.

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

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

Early in my career, people wanted to pigeonhole me as the bad guy because I'm of Italian-American descent, which they often were when I started out. You have to fight against it. One of the things that helps is the ability to do comedy.

I'm a control freak. Totally.
