I can't relate to 99% of humanity.

Usually, I only get to work a few weeks on a movie, or I often don't make it to the end of the movie because I'm disposed of.

All the roles I play, I don't see any of my roles in films that they're typically leading men.

I never had any master plan about directing, and I don't really write.

Nothing's really changed for me over the years. I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that. Relationships are interesting to me. Not just between men and women but fathers and sons, brothers and sisters and friends.

When I was a fireman I was in a lot of burning buildings. It was a great job, the only job I ever had that compares with the thrill of acting.

Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.
