I don't really have a schedule of when I want to show my children my movies.

Lincoln's leadership is based on a number of precepts, but my favorite one is that he acted in the name, and for the good, of the people.

I compose the frame literally with the camera. Unless it makes a story point.

I think the secret of great acting is that you have to bring your imagination to the party. You have to have a great imagination and you have to bring it every day when you're working. Your imagination and your skills as an actor are what see you through, not what you're wearing or where you are.

I'll probably never win an Oscar, but I'll sure have a lot of fun! I really believe that movies are the great escape.

When I felt like an outsider, movies made me feel inside my own skill set.

I once said that CGI makes you less inventive. At the time I was bemoaning the loss of the practical stunt. If a stunt can be done practically and safely, I'd rather do it old-style.
