Directing is a tremendous art.

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

When you're starting out as an actor, there isn't much food around. I was lucky to have a hit pretty early on. I didn't starve too long.

I'm somebody who deserves to be supported and encouraged to continue my work because I have a lot to give.

If you put down a list of jobs, doctor, lawyer, janitor, teacher or movie star, everybody would pick the movie star. And why? So you could lie around the pool, drink margaritas and send money to your parents. So that's what I did.

You never know who's going to become your friend. Friends are always chance meetings.

For 15 years I did two to three movies a year, sometimes four. I didn't get to spend time building my personal life.
