Any kind of writing that's meaningful becomes hard work, so there were times when it would really flow, there were times when I'd get 10 pages a day, and then there were days when I would do three pages. Depends on the thickness of the material. If it's satisfying, it's hard, but it's pretty wonderful.

You're never really playing yourself. You're always acting. It's an illusion that you're really playing yourself. The only time I'm playing myself is when I'm at home!

Underneath all the skin, we're all the same.

The allure of Hollywood is huge when you don't know anything. You don't know the knives behind the smiles.

I'm just thinking all the time. There are times when I don't really need to think. You know what I mean? If you think about stuff for five hours, you really only need to do like five minutes and the rest of sort of rehashing it and dramatically going over it.

Every film can be fun, even if it's a terror.

Everyone keeps asking me, What are you doing? I say, Why do I need to do anything? I'm rich.
