I didn't grow up thinking of movies as film, or art, but as movies, something to do on a Saturday afternoon.

I mean, certainly writing, painting, photography, dance, architecture, there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.

When you work without a script, you are in a sense working in a much more improvisational way than when you are prepared totally.

Film is a collective experience, as you know.

I think it's a terrible shame that politics has become show business.

I didn't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to be able to make a living as an actor.

I don't know about liberal bias, but people of a liberal mentality are probably attracted in greater numbers to the arts than people of a conservative mentality.
