Directing is a tremendous art.

Wanting to work is a luxury; having to work is not.

If I buy a luxury gift for someone I love, it's got to be perfect. The product has to be in perfect condition from the company. If I'm going to buy a luxury watch or luxury car or clothing for someone I love, it's got to be perfect, and they've got to handle it perfectly. They have to pack it perfectly. I want the people that I love to have that great experience, because you're paying so much, you should have it perfect.

There are 100,000 actors in the Screen Actors Guild. Only 2,000 of them make more than $75,000 a year.

I've only had good experiences with actors. Starring next to them and directing them, for the most part they're all inspiring, special people.

Typecasting is a good thing. It's good to be known for what you do.

Show business has never been my everything. It's a means; it's not the end. It's a means to the end. I want and have always wanted freedom. That was always my goal, to not have a boss, to not have anybody tell me what to do. Luckily, as an actor, I got that.
